Poker Promotions, Rake Races and Freerolls

Most promotions you see advertised are public. Every player at the room gets the same offer, and the room decides what it is worth.

Ours work the other way around. We negotiate each one directly with the room and fund it from our own commission, which is why they are open only to players tracked through VIP-Grinders and why you will not find them on the room’s own promotions page.

The list above updates as promotions open and close, so it is always the current picture rather than a snapshot. Races and chases run on monthly cycles, while freerolls repeat on a fixed schedule at most rooms. Anything showing a countdown is still open.

Prize money moves month to month. Across a typical month our players compete for more than $20,000 in private prize money, and adding up the promotions above gives you the exact figure for this one.

Three formats cover almost everything on this page. Each has its own schedule, its own qualifying rules and its own page with the current numbers.

Rake Races

A monthly leaderboard. Every hand you play generates rake, rake converts to points, and the top finishers split a fixed prize pool. Volume decides where you place, so these suit players putting in regular hours rather than occasional sessions.

Current standings and prize breakdowns are on our poker rake races page.

Rake Chases

No competition against other players. You hit a rake target, you get the reward attached to it, and the next target opens. Everyone who reaches a tier gets paid, which makes the return predictable in a way a leaderboard never is.

Targets and payouts for each room are listed on our rake chases page.

Private Freerolls

Tournaments with a real prize pool and no buy-in, closed to everyone except our tracked players. Passwords are issued to members and the fields stay small because entry is restricted.

Schedules and passwords are on our private poker freerolls page.

What runs where changes as deals are renegotiated. This is the current picture, and each room’s review page carries the full rakeback terms alongside the promotion.

Black Chip Poker and Ya Poker share the WPN race with Americas Cardroom, so volume at any of the three counts toward the same leaderboard.

Five steps, and the third one is the only place people go wrong.

If you already play at one of the rooms above, you are generating rake that could be counting toward a leaderboard. If you are choosing a new room, the promotion running there is worth factoring in alongside the rakeback rate.

Registration is free and takes a minute.
