Carbon Poker's November "Race for Riches" offering $25k
By RTR Dennis
This November, Carbon Poker is bringing back one of their most popular promotions - Race for Riches! And this promises to be one of the biggest Race for Riches ever since $25,000 will be given out over four weeks.
Earning a share of this money is simple because you merely need to collect VIP Points through Carbon cash games and tournaments. There's no opt-in to worry about either since Carbon will automatically track players' VIP Points.
Those who finish in the top 75 of any given 'Race Week' will earn a piece of the $6,710 that's given away each week. If you're interested in collecting some of this free money, check out the races, payouts and how tournament multipliers work below.

Carbon has selected specific tournaments that will give players multipliers during the Race for Riches. Each selected tourney gives you a 0.1 leaderboard points multiplier for that week, and the best part is that you don't have to cash to get the multiplier.
To illustrate how this works, let's say that you played in five of these tournaments and earned 1,000 VIP Points during the week. Your 1,000 points would then by multiplied by 1.5, giving you 1,500 leaderboard points for that race period. Here are the multiplier tournaments that will give you the aforementioned points boost:
