Savvy poker players are rubbing there hands with glee as the first of four of the $1,000,000 Ladbrokes Poker Rake Race comes to a close. The unique promotion is exclusive to Ladbrokes Poker players and promises the top 3000 ‘Rakers’ a share of a massive $1,000,000 cashpot.
The top 3000 on the January leaderboard will now be quids in although there is likely to be some major action as the January promo draws to a close -There’s less than 1500 points between first and fifth.
The difference between 5th and 6th place is 165 points and $5,000
The difference between 10th and 11th place is 159 points and $1,000
The difference between 20th and 21st place is 50 points and $1,000
The whopping $25,000 first prize will be won as Midnight strikes at the end of Saturday January 31st – but by whom is anybody’s guess! ‘Rakers’ who place second to fifth will receive $10,000 and sixth to twentieth a cash prize of between $3,000 and $4,000. The thousands of other winning ‘Rakers’ on Ladbrokes Poker will receive sums ranging from $3,000 through to $100 on the popular poker site.
Edward Ihre Ladbrokes Poker MD said: “I haven’t seen much mention of the $1,000,000 offer on the forums, but I can’t say I’m that surprised – its amazing, unrivalled value for players and the stakes get higher the further up the Leaderboard table players finish. The last thing they want is for us to talk about the promotion and the information be common knowledge, as it’ll mean even more competition.”
The promotion available exclusively to Ladbrokes Poker players will begin again as of Saturday Midnight – all points accumulated in January’s race will be deleted and the Leaderboard counter returned to zero. Only points collected for the month of February will be eligible for the $1,000,000 February cashpot.
