BLAST tournaments are one of the most popular formats on 888poker, and daily BLAST Leaderboards make playing that much more fun, giving players a chance to win extra money on top of any game prizes.
Usually, these leaderboards have a $5000 prize pool, but for the week of July 27 – August 3, 888poker is ramping things up and doubling the prizes, so there will be $10,000 up for grabs every day.
If you are a fan of the fast-paced action in these three-hand sit-and-go’s and already enjoy playing them, joining the leaderboard is a no-brainer. If you do not know how to do it, keep on reading and learn how you can get in a mix for your share of $10,000 every day.
Fair Chances for Everyone
888poker offers BLAST Games across several different buy-in levels, starting as low as $0.10 and going up to $100. The good news is that the buy-in does not play a role in determining your placement on the leaderboard, so all players have equal chances.
The number of points is calculated based on your finishing position (2 points for the win, 1 point for the second or third place), multiplied by the BLAST multiplier (between 2x and 10,000x). So, if you win a tournament with a 3x BLAST multiplier, you will receive 6 leaderboard points.
When joining the leaderboard, you have two options — 10 games or 30 games. In both cases, only the first 10 or the first 30 games you play that day will count towards the leaderboard.
So, if you join the larger leaderboard and play 40 games in total, only the first 30 (chronologically) will award points, even if you end up with better results in some of the remaining 10 games.
Participating in 888poker BLAST Leaderboards
Daily BLAST Leaderboards are open to all players with no restrictions. However, you do need to manually join the leaderboard. Only after you have done this you will start earning points.
- To join a leaderboard, follow these simple steps:
- Log into your 888poker account & head over to the BLAST lobby
- Click on ‘Leaderboards’
- Decide which leaderboard you want to enter (10 or 30 games) and click ‘Join’
- You can now start playing and earning points
- Your position on the leaderboard is updated in real-time
- Top finishers receive tournament tickets that can be used to enter 888poker events
There is no limit as to how many times you can enter the leaderboard to try and improve your position. When you complete one set of games, you can go back to the lobby and enter the leaderboard again.
While BLAST Leaderboards always add a lot of value and make the grind more enjoyable, this is particularly true for the next few days, as there are $10,000 worth of prizes up for grabs every day, and you get to compete even if you play at the lowest level.
If jackpot sit-and-go’s are your format, head over to 888poker and join the fun. Leaderboards aside, you never know if that big jackpot multiplier is just around the corner!
