The main difference from Ramsch is that, in Schieberamsch, players may choose to 'shove' or 'push' (schieben) the skat instead of picking it up, hence the name Schieberramsch.

If a player has not won any tricks by the end of the game, he remains a Jungfrau or Jungfer ("virgin") and the loser's minus points double again.

In order to reduce this imbalance between Ramsch and regular contracts, it can be agreed that each 'shove' and a Jungfrau only raises the multiplication factor of the highest number of points.

Another way to alleviate an excessive influence of Ramsch contracts is to agree that a fixed number of points are deducted from the loser.

If, however, a player wins all ten tricks, this is called a Durchmarsch (i.e. "march") and, in Augenramsch earns 120 plus points.
