The online poker room Betsafe is stepping up their normal promotions and offering an enormous $150,000 in race promotions to their players throughout the month of August. Betsafe’s race programs are unique in that they appeal to all players; those who play tournaments and cash games will both have an opportunity to win lucrative cash prizes, and tournament tickets.
Throughout the month of August, there will be two separate races being held at once. The $90,000 Chase will allow the players that accumulate the most Betsafe Player Points at cash game tables to ascend to the top of the leader board, where the top 10 finishers will receive a $2,500 Rigged in Riga tournament package that includes airfare, hotel, and the $1,000 buy-in entry fee for Latvia’s largest poker tournament. In addition, the chase winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize, second will receive $900, and so on. In total the top 200 players in the cash game chase will receive cash prizes along with tournament tickets. The $90,000 Chase is not only for cash game players, as the top 5 tournament players will also be going to Latvia, with the top 100 all receiving cash prizes and tournament tickets.
In addition to their standard Chase, Betsafe is offering an additional $60,000 in value with their August Hand Race. The Hand Race is unique in that anyone can win regardless of the stakes they play. The leader board is based on how many raked hands someone plays throughout the month, and the top 2,000 players will share in $60,000 worth of freerolls.
