Where does the cash prize that you win in poker contests go to? Does it get credited to real account? And what's the minimum amount required to open an account? I read it in trader contest rules that minimum amount required to open an account is 500. does the same rule apply for poker prizes as well?
Cash prize will be credited to "My Finances" section of your Dukascopy Community profile. Use the section to transfer the prize to your live account: https://www.dukascopy.com/fxcomm/profile/?action=sas
Before you can use the section you must open a live account with Dukascopy and link the account to your community profile. Everything you need to know in order to open a live account online with Dukascopy is here: https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/forex/FX-Interbank-Account/

Excerpt from the most recent version of "Prizes and Awarding Rules":
"If Participant does not have a live account with Dukascopy, then he/she should proceed to the live account opening procedure in a regular way. If Participant does not comply with live account opening requirements, Dukascopy reserves the right to cancel the cash prize.
Cash prizes may be credited only to a live sub-account open with Dukascopy in the name of the relevant Participant.
LIVE accounts which are credited with prize money are considered LIVE Prize accounts. LIVE Prize accounts can be credited only with cash prize money. Clients are not allowed crediting their own funds on this type of account."
BTW, You can open a LIVE Prize account and deposit your cash prize, even if it's less than minimum deposit requirement.
It's 100 bucks for an account now. To see what you won (say, your poker prizes) you need a live account up and running. For that you will need to transfer money on to it from your pocket, not from poker. That's my view.
