Long in the making and eagerly anticipated, the Splash the Pot feature has finally arrived at BetRivers Poker! As some players may be aware, this feature is designed to randomly add bonus cash to pots before the flop, creating instant extra value and high-energy moments.
Splash the Pot isn’t a new concept. Many players may be familiar with it, having encountered it at other poker sites, including Run It Once, Phil Galfond’s platform that was acquired by Rush Street Interactive, BetRivers Poker’s parent company.
Because BetRivers adopted many cool and unique features from Run It Once, including things like Dynamic Avatars, Splash the Pot was eagerly anticipated since the platform’s launch. The wait is now over, as the feature is active on all cash game tables on the site, across all stakes.
- The best online poker software in the US with the lowest cash game rake.
- Generous 100% deposit match bonus up to $1000 ($250 in Delaware)
- Four-state network spanning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware & West Virginia!
- Player-first approach built around user satisfaction, value-driven promotions and meaningful rewards.
Splash the Pot Dynamics
Although extremely rewarding, the Splash the Pot feature is very easy to understand, and players don’t need to do anything extra to take advantage of it.
The splash can happen at the start of any hand, and it’s impossible to predict it in advance. When a hand is randomly selected for Splash the Pot, money will fall from the sky straight into the pot. This happens before any betting is done, so all players at the table can factor the added money into their decisions.
To ensure players don’t miss out on the extra value, Splash the Pot events are accompanied by enhanced effects and graphics, such as gold pot displays. So, even if you are not fully focusing on the game, it’s pretty much impossible to miss out.
Big Splash Events
On top of standard Splash the Pot events, which happen at a fairly regular frequency, BetRivers Poker is adding even more excitement with a special BIG SPLASH feature.
These are rare events that turn into instant celebrations for the entire table. Bonus chips are added to the pot, but there is no betting or tough decisions. All players’ hands are turned over, and the board runs out automatically.
The largest share of the enhanced pot goes to the hand winner, while all other active players receive an equal share of the remainder.
As mentioned, players become eligible for Splash the Pot and Big Splash by playing at any cash game table on BetRivers Poker. There are no special requirements that need to be met or tasks that have to be completed.
More Fun & More Rewards Across the Board
By introducing Splash the Pot and Big Splash, BetRivers Poker is continuing down the path that puts the player first, building on the legacy started by Galfond. By constantly finding new ways to reward players and redistribute the rake, the operator is sending a clear message that they value their customers and understand they are essential building blocks of a poker site.
Talking about the most recent development, Jason Santi, Head of Poker, stated:
“Splash the Pot is something we’ve believed in for a long time. Players loved it at Run It Once, and we wanted it to be a foundational part of BetRivers Poker from day one. It adds a dynamic element to cash games, creates real moments of excitement, and rewards all players at the table in a way that supports the long-term health of the overall ecosystem.”
This sentiment was echoed by Jesse Wilke, Director of Poker Marketing, who emphasized that Splash the Pot adds energy to the table, rewards engagement, and helps create fun moments.
While no specifics have been revealed at this time regarding how much extra value players can expect during Splash the Pot and Big Splash events, there is no doubt they’ll provide additional incentives for serious grinders and recreational players alike to put in the hours.
