The Beast

Earning Points

Everyone who sits down at a cash table* and contributes to the rake of a hand automatically earns points toward The Beast leaderboard. You’ll earn 1 point for every $0.02 fed to The Beast generated by you using the methodology.

Wondering how it works? Let’s look at a 9-handed full ring table.

• And let’s say everyone folds except for four players (A, B, C and D), each one paying $1 to see the flop.
• Player A goes all-in on the flop for another $50. Players B folds. So does Player C. Player D calls the $50.
• The pot is now worth $104. At the end of the hand, a total of $3 rake gets taken from the pot ($2.76 as net rake and $0.24 is fed to The Beast).

While other players started off in the hand, only the four contributing players receive points toward The Beast leaderboard.

The number of points they’ll earn depends on how much rake they contributed:

• Player A receives 5.25 Points
• Player B receives 0.75 Points
• Player C receives 0.75 Points
• Player D receives 5.25 Points

We Feed The Beast With The Rake

We’ve completely done away with jackpot fees and decided to foot the bill ourselves for The Beast weekly prize pools. We’ve turned every cash table* into a Beast table, and instead of charging you an extra jackpot fee, we’re slicing off a piece of the rake we collect and dumping it into our cash and tournament leaderboard prize pools. Here’s a look at how much money goes to feed The Beast.

THE WEEKLY CASH RACE:

The points you earn get tallied as you play, giving you a spot in The Beast race. The more points you collect, the higher you climb up the leaderboard.

Each race runs from Saturday at 00:00 ET to Friday at 23:59 ET. On Saturday of each week, we reward hundreds of poker players just like you with huge cash and tournament prizes.

The payout structure for the cash race is calculated based on the size of the prize pool. As the prize pool grows, the number of paid places increases.

There are four payout tiers in The Beast.

• Tier 1: $2,500
• Tier 2: $1,000
• Tier 3: $250
• Tier 4: $100

For every $10,334 in The Beast cash prize pool, the prize pool adds:

• One Tier 1
• Two of Tier 2
• Five of Tier 3
• Twenty of Tier 4
• Reseed the next race with $2,584

Residual funds (between multiples of $10,334) as the Beast grows are applied to the top places in Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 – maintaining each respective cap amounts.

THE WEEKLY TOURNAMENT RACE

The Beast is all about rewarding more killer poker players with more stuff. That’s why each weekly competition also includes a separate component that awards seats to satellite tournaments for major tourneys like the WSOP Main Event, and Million Dollar Sunday. As the prize pool gets bigger, we will hand out more seats to more players at the end of each weekly race. It’s that simple!

Winners of the race, play in their satellite tournament two Sundays after their weekly race finishes and are automatically registered. Check the Rewards tab (Points Race section) for complete details.
