Exclusive Races and Chases
Up to 25% extra rakeback
Our new race format returns for all of our players at bwin, partypoker and Optibet.
Prizes are percentage based so there is literally no limit to the prizes we payout... It's all down to how much you rake!
How does it work?
All players will receive 10% extra rakeback in prizes as soon as they reach $10 in rake.
The percentage of extra rakeback increases with the total rake of all our players: meaning the more you rake as a group, the more everyone wins!
Here's a breakdown of total rake tiers to percentage rakeback:
$125,000 = 12%
$150,000 = 13%
$175,000 = 14%
$200,000 = 15%
$225,000 = 16%
$250,000 = 18%
$275,000 = 19%
$300,000 = 20%
$350,000 = 21%
$400,000 = 22%
Over $500,000 = 25%
Our players are yet to reach the 12% mark, can you help them out this month?
Affiliate-Only Races
Two Betfair €10,000 Rake Races
As always, all of our Betfair players are included in the two €10,000 Rake Races, offered to selected partners only.
The total €20,000 prize pool is split into two separate fortnightly races, with each one paying out €10,000.
You could be winning a huge top prize of €1,200 when you play any game of any level and any tournament too.
With the race running twice in one month, you have two chances to win! Plus, the race is only open to certain affiliate players, meaning the field of players is much smaller than many other races!
Unfortunately, Italian, French and Danish customers are not eligible.
