I won my first game, but I dont think my rating changed. Is this cause im a non-subscriber? How do I see what my current rating is?

and once it does you are still with a provisional rating until you finish 20 games

For some minor purposes your rating has changed and RHP is keeping track. If you were a subscriber and tried to enter a tournament, you'd actually see your 'p1200' rating slotted in at some other position in the list of names.
Also there's some way of searching for players that will let you stumbel across the 'real' rating, I forget what it is.
But the main thing is that your opponent's score after each game will continue to be calculated as if you are at p1200. Once you've finished 5 games the 'real' ratings you had will be revealed in the graph in your profile.
