BetRivers Poker is going big this April, rolling out a slate of month-long promotions designed to reward players across every format on the platform.
Branded as “April Phil’s Month,” the campaign gives players multiple ways to win on a daily basis, with added prize money in tournaments, exclusive collectibles, and boosted action across cash games, tournaments, and sit and gos.
Front and center are the operator’s two ambassadors, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Galfond, who serve as the faces of the promotion. The campaign is available to players in all four regulated markets where BetRivers Poker operates—Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, and West Virginia—with all four promotions running from April 1 through April 30.
- 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.
Exclusive Phil Bobbleheads
Players will have the chance to win exclusive bobbleheads featuring both ambassadors, offering a unique collectible for poker fans. Earning them is straightforward; just play real money games as usual and accumulate entries throughout the month. There’s no opt-in required; simply playing tournaments, cash games, or sit and gos automatically qualifies players for entries.
Cash game players earn entries by playing hands each day, while sit and go players can earn additional entries for random draws by winning games. Winners of these draws receive Hellmuth bobbleheads. Tournament players also earn entries, and by playing sit and gos, they gain additional chances to win Galfond bobbleheads through similar draws.
For those looking for a more direct route, guaranteed bobbleheads are also up for grabs. Winning designated daily tournaments secures a Hellmuth bobblehead, while topping cash game leaderboards earns a Galfond version.
Added Prize Money in Designated Tournaments
Another key part of April Phil’s Month is the return of added prize money in tournaments, regardless of how many players enter. While BetRivers Poker has run similar promotions before, this iteration is much larger, with rewards paid out in tournament tickets.
To mark the occasion, the operator is injecting $40,000 in added prize money into select tournaments throughout the month. These events will be clearly marked with a green badge, making them easy to spot in the lobby. On any given day, more than a dozen tournaments will feature added value, with boosts ranging from $20 to $1,500.
Added cash significantly increases player value, effectively creating overlays even when guarantees are met. Players benefit from extra prize money without any increase in buy-ins, making these tournaments particularly attractive across all stakes.
SNG Ladder Up to 50% Rakeback
Sit and go players aren’t left out. BetRivers Poker’s SNG Select offering comes with a tiered promotion that rewards volume with both rakeback and entries into a daily $500 ticket draw.
To qualify, players need to complete at least three sit and gos in a day, which unlocks entry into the $500 SNG Ticket Draw and begins progression on the rakeback ladder. Playing more unlocks higher rewards: more than three games earns 15% rakeback in Poker Bonus, more than five increases it to 25%, and playing over ten games pushes it up to 50%.
As with the rest of the campaign, there’s no opt-in required, and even the lowest buy-in $0.90 sit and gos count toward the promotion.
Boosted Splash the Pot in VIP Hours
Cash game players get an additional boost with the return of VIP Hours, featuring enhanced Splash the Pot (STP) rewards as part of the April campaign. During select time windows, STP payouts are increased by up to 30%, creating more opportunities for inflated pots.
- 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM ET — 20% Boost
- 1:00 AM to 2:00 AM ET — 30% Boost
- 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM ET — 30% Boost
- 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET — 20% Boost
STP is already a permanent feature on BetRivers Poker cash tables. It randomly injects bonus money into pots before the flop, adding a layer of excitement to standard gameplay. In many ways, it functions like a bomb pot, but without any additional rake or fees.
The feature can trigger on any cash game table, with bonus amounts ranging from 1 big blind to as much as 1,000 big blinds, though the largest splashes are rare. When it activates, players see a clear visual animation as chips drop into the pot, and the hand plays out as usual. The eventual winner of the hand collects both the regular pot and the added bonus.
This mechanic introduces a subtle strategic twist, often encouraging players to loosen up and compete for the inflated pots. Under normal conditions, STP returns roughly 5% of rakeback to players, but during April Phil’s Month, that figure is boosted to as much as 30%, further increasing overall value.
