BetKing Launch Poker Product With a Weekly $9k Rake Race

A promise is a promise, and BetKing have kept theirs by launching their much-anticipated Bitcoin (BTC) poker room, with No Limit, PLO and Open Face Chinese on offer, as well as tournaments, high stakes private games, and now news that a $9000 weekly ‘Rake Race’ is about to start!

BetKing, who started out as the biggest-ever crowdfunded Bitcoin casino on the back of a phenomenal ICO (Initial Coin Offering) pre-sale which sold $1.45 million, stated last year that “Soon after launch we will add poker games and tournaments and native mobile apps,” and the man in charge - CEO Dean Nolan – has kept his word, adding that:

"This is just the start of our poker Bitcoin variants on offer at BetKing, and with the growth in popularity across our site, you can be certain that our poker variants will grow too."

The $9000 weekly Rake Race

Everyone loves a leaderboard, and BetKingPoker are no different in this respect – offering a huge chunk of cash every week to the top 50 players in each of three categories:

How it works

It’s quite simple to follow: for every 0.1 mBTC you pay in rake on BetKingPoker’s tables, you earn 1 point towards the weekly leaderboard.

Make the top 50 in your section and you get paid - in cold, hard currency - with $1000 in total for the Micro Stakes, and $1000 as the top prize in the High Stakes section. It all adds up to a juicy $9k every week.

So what else is in store for poker fans and addicts?

It’s already started actually, with the first tournaments kicking off a couple of weeks ago…

…the aptly-named ‘baller’ doing the business and walking off with almost 230x his buy-in!
