$22 000 Daily Cash Races on PokerStars
One of the undisputed poker industry leaders, PokerStars, continues to please its users with attractive promotions. Stars’ new initiative will surely impress cash players.
On April 17, the operator kicked off the "Cash Races" promo, in which poker enthusiasts need to earn points across special daily leaderboards to get rewarded, $22 000 up for grabs every day.
How to Join the Cash Races Promotion
To jump in the daily competition and fight for your share of the $22 000 prize pool, you should follow a few simple steps:
Opt-in to the promotion through the "Challenges" tab. It’s visible in the right sidebar.
Play cash games on the site and earn points towards the earlier specified leaderboards.
Play 60 hands in order to successfully complete one round (overall you can undergo 5 rounds in each leaderboard per day).
Give your score a boost by collecting cards that grant additional bonus points.
Those players who have collected the most points will enter the prize zone of the leaderboards. Note that Leader Boards payouts will be distributed according to table limits. In the Challenges window, the user will be able to track their progress within the promotion.
How Does Scoring Work In Cash Races
As already mentioned earlier, leaderboard points will be credited depending on the cards you receive. You get points only after the hand is completed. The ratio between the number of points and card dealt is as follows:
| Card Dealt | Points Credited |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 9 |
| 10 | 10 |
| Jack | 11 |
| Queen | 12 |
| King | 13 |
| Ace | 14 |
If you play at Omaha cash tables, then all 4 hole cards will count toward the Cash Race Leaderboards.
Chicanes & Additional Points to Earn
Challenges within the promotion are presented in the form of tracks, each having three special sections (aka chicanes) on which you can rack up extra bonus points for the Leader Boards. Your boost depends on the number of hands played and the bonus card dealt.
| Section | Number of Hands Played | Bonus Card | Additional Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| JACK | between 1 and 10 | Jack (any suit) | 30 |
| QUEEN | between 11 and 30 | Queen (any suit) | 40 |
| KING | between 31 and 60 | King (any suit) | 20 |
If the player collects a hand with a bonus card in the corresponding period, then they receive points for regular cards collected in each hand, as well as extra points when receiving a bonus hand.
Leader Board Prize Money Distribution
Your prize money won on the leaderboards will depend upon the number of points you collect. Let’s take a look at prize places and corresponding rewards.
