In October, PartyPoker will bring back one of its most popular promotions of all-time, the Card Rush XL. The promotion last ran in July and offers up 1.8 million prizes, including cash, freeroll entries, Party Points, and Card Rush XL Leaderboard Points.
The Card Rush XL promotion will run throughout the entire month of October and in order to receive your first prize, just earn five Party Points and then visit your PartyPoker account page. There, scratch off the card to see what you’ve won. Every single card given out has a prize attached to it, so there are plenty of chances to win. After your first card, you’ll receive another one for every 15 points you earn.
Text found on PartyPoker’s website cautions, “You can collect up to 50 Card Rush XL cards on every day of the promotion, but once we’ve given away 1.8 million overall, that’s it. At only 15 points per card, they’ll be snapped up fast, so make sure you don’t miss out on your share.” In order to reap the prize from any card, you’ll need to head to your account page to scratch it off. The action gets underway as soon as the clock strikes Midnight ET on October 1st.
Cash prizes range from $1 to $5,000. A variety of freeroll entries are also available, from a $2,000 free tournament all the way up to a $25,000 freebie. There are a total of eight freerolls that will play out according to the following schedule:
$2,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 12:30 ET on November 4th
$3,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 12:30 ET on November 5th
$5,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 12:30 ET on November 6th
$7,500 Card Rush Freeroll: 12:30 ET on November 7th
$10,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 14:30 ET on November 6th
$15,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 14:30 ET on November 5th
$20,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 14:30 ET on November 4th
$25,000 Card Rush Freeroll: 14:00 ET on November 7th
If you don’t land cash or freeroll entries, you’re not out of luck. PartyPoker will also be dishing out Party Points during the Card Rush XL promotion. You can expect to receive anywhere from 10 to 25,000 when you scratch off a card, with other prizes of 20, 50, 100, 150, 250, 750, and 5,000 Party Points also awarded.
Finally, PartyPoker is holding a special Card Rush XL Leaderboard, which you can receive points for by earning cards. Several cards have one, three, five, 10, and 20 Leaderboard Points as prizes, which will shoot your name up this high-stakes list. The top player on the Card Rush XL Leaderboard banks $9,000 in cash and the top 200 will finish in the money. In addition, every 20th spot from 220th to 2,000th picks up $50. Again, the only way to accrue Card Rush XL Leaderboard Points is to scratch off cards during the promotion, so be sure to hit the PartyPoker felts in earnest starting October 1st.
Exhausted, aren’t you? We are too, so we’ll switch gears and talk about Sunday’s running of the PartyPoker Monthly Million. This recurring $1 million guaranteed tournament takes place on the first Sunday of every month. You can qualify for the $640 buy-in event for as little as $1 and all players start with 20,000 in chips. The blind levels last 20 minutes each and the price of poker begins at 25-50. The antes kick in at Level 6, where the blinds are 250-500, and the Monthly Million often boasts an overlay.
Daily country-specific freerolls and points qualifiers are also available to the Monthly Million, so check the PartyPoker tournament lobby to see what satellites are on the horizon. The online poker site does not accept players from the United States.
