Full Tilt Poker, the world’s second-largest online poker site, kicked off Rush Week on Monday, giving players an opportunity to earn free money while playing the popular fast-paced Rush Poker format. Full Tilt is handing out up to $250 in cash per player plus entries into an exclusive $50,000 Rush Week Freeroll. The promotion runs through Sunday, December 5th.
Players can earn cash in a variety of ways as part of Rush Week. Anyone who earns at least 10 Full Tilt Points (FTPs) per day from Rush Poker games on any four days during the promotion will collect $5. If they can achieve the same feat on all seven days of Rush Week, they’ll earn $10. Players who build up 100 FTPs per day on any four days during Rush Week will collect $25, while those who can generate 100 FTPs per day on all seven days will earn $50.
For high-volume Rush Poker players, $125 will be handed out to those who accumulate 1,000 FTPs per day on any four days during the week. Those who can rack up 1,000 FTPs per day on all seven days will earn the grand prize of $250. Should a player achieve more than one of these reward levels, they will receive their highest possible cash amount only, as the rewards are not cumulative.
FTPs are earned at any real money raked game. For each dollar raked from the pot in a real money ring game, 10 FTPs are awarded to the table and then split equally among all players dealt into the hand.
In order to take part in the promotion, players need to opt into Rush Week. This can be done simply by logging into the Full Tilt client and clicking on the “Cashier” button. Then, click on “My Promotions” and select “Rush Week.”
For the tournament grinders out there, an exclusive $50,000 Rush Week Freeroll will be available for those who reach the final table of a Rush Poker tournament or sit and go during Rush Week. Full Tilt poker has dozens of Rush Poker tournaments every day, giving players many opportunities for even more free cash. The $50,000 Rush Week Freeroll is on Sunday, December 12th at 3:15 p.m. ET.
In addition, all Rush Poker tournaments with a guarantee will have it doubled during Rush Week. Saturday’s $80,000 Guarantee and the Sunday Brawl will also be converted into Rush Poker tournaments.
For those who haven’t played Rush Poker before, here’s a quick breakdown of the structure: Whether you’re playing a Rush Poker ring game, sit and go, or tournament, you’ll join a large player pool and face a different table of opponents every hand. When you fold your hand, you’ll be “rushed” to a new table for the next hand immediately. Rush Poker keeps you in the action at all times and requires constant decision-making.
The fast play allows players to see more than 300 hands per hour per table. Rush Poker ring games first appeared on Full Tilt back in January and Rush Poker tournaments were introduced in April.
