While let me clear my side up.  I don't give two flips about my tokens.  1 or 100 million the value is still the same...Worthless.  You could call them coins, tokens, soccer balls, cyber cash, flip flops, chump change, pig shit, and its all the same...a worthless number.  So with that out of the way.....

How do I know this stuff?  I'm just smart I guess.  I prefer to figure things out.  In any event, when sending an email to p regarding High Stakes, and stating I demand a human response, I got one.  It was explained to me that when accounts began to lose accumalted token balances in the database during room crashes, they went back to "Just for Fun" until that bug was worked out.  I'm sure anyone who was around during the few days the Token Exchange pots were working, you ran into the error "Please wait while we download your balance".  The problem was they couldn't find your balance and the few unlucky ones who had theirs downloaded during the moment of Impact (The one bad site crash they had) had their balances erased. P has a severe issue in routing bandwidth to handle traffic to different game servers.  High stakes isn't the first "new release" to have piss poor room problems from high traffic.  Pool suffered the same problem for more than a month.
If you've ever run a database and had data erased from a system crash, I'm sure you can understand the major piss off in that and how it'd piss off your customers.  So, they pulled the plug on the Working pots.
I was told that the problem was not as severe as it sounds.  However I'm not an idiot.  I can put two and two together.  When you have even just 1 player losing an entire balance, its more than just a small problem.

Why do they have two replica sites?

Well, the name should explain it clearly.  Alpha stage, Beta stage.

When P introduced a new game in the making it is known as Alpha stage.  When it passes Alpha, it is moved to Beta.  When it passes Beta its on final release.  All Sneak Preview is, in plain words, is a Beta stage game.  It's bugged more than Lewinsky's phones were.  Both sites are pointless for users.  The only good purpose they serve is for playing when the reg site is down.

Back on track now...With the severity of the bug, and because people can't seem to survive without their tokens, I'll be extremely shocked if I see High Stakes out of Preview within the next few weeks.

You don't need to say www.pbeta.com, you can say www.pogobeta.com. If it's an address it's ok to say the P word.

do the tokens on pbeta serve the same purpose on p?

you know....the purpose of....hmmm, well, oh yeah!

THEY HAVE NO PURPOSE!

why would you try to gain a bunch of tokens on both the sites...
also, what makes beta better than alpha?
(this is not a riddle...wondering why you play beta instead of alpha)
