The Dashboard is where you can see your stats and access some player features.
Cash Chips To Life Time Earnings -- this is where you can convert your bankroll chips to life time earnings. This is one of the main ways to advance your character and level up since you get 1 point per dollar you convert. Why have this? Most free poker games rank you only on your chips, but that isn't realistic. In real life, as a pro player, you're always struggling to balance your bankroll and taking money to live on with finding the right stakes/limit. It's called Bankroll Management and Game Selection. It's tough and probably the hardest thing to deal with and causes more world class players to go bust than anything else. One of your biggest challenges is this: to play the right limit, convert enough to advance but not so much you can't stay in action.
Game Log -- very important. Anything significant that happens will get a message here. Examples: Completing a Quest; unlocking a Quest; leveling up; earning experience points; getting bonuses; and so on. You can clear the messages whenever you like.
Highest Hand / Biggest Pot -- tracks your biggest cash pot or highest.
Poker Buddies -- this shows your buddies. You can click them to see their profile and stats.
Settings -- this allows you to adjust your sound settings, chat settings and table blind settings.
