Special rules for members?

You may ask if there are special rules for paying members.
The answer is a clear "yes and no".

There is exactly one difference between paying members and guest players. Standard or premium members may play more games in parallel than guests. All the other rules described in this section are identical for members and guests.

Especially the rules on timeout penalty, promotion, demotion and rating calculations will be applied to guests and members alike.
