Provisional Ratings

If you keep winning; for example you have 100 wins, 0 draw, 0 lose, your rating wilk still be provisional.
But if you win 15 and lose 5, it will be removed immediately.
@Spaghettification, it's not a set number of games. It's a matter of how much confidence the system has in your rating.

How the confidence gets measured is complicated. If you want to you can read about it in the link @MoistvonLipwig provided.

To see how close you are to being non-provisional, click on your name, go to your profile, then choose the type of game on the left. You'll see a page with both your rating and the rating deviation. The higher the deviation number, the less confidence the system has.

When it reaches 110 or less you're no longer provisional.
