BetRivers Poker has rolled out a two-week leaderboard promotion for cash game players, offering $22,000 in total prizes across both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha tables.
Running from June 23, the promo rewards high-volume play across all stakes. Each week, awards over $11,000, split across six separate leaderboards, three for Hold’em and three for PLO, based on buy-in levels: Low, Medium, and High.
Low-stakes tables feature buy-ins of $2 ($0.01/$0.02) and $10 ($0.05/$0.10), while medium stakes cover $20 ($0.10/$0.20) and $50 ($0.25/$0.50). High stakes include any tables with buy-ins of $100 ($0.50/$1) and above.
Players compete within their respective tiers, with prizes awarded based on leaderboard standings at the end of each week.
- 100% deposit match bonus up to $1000 ($250 in Delaware)
- State of the art online poker software in the US and the lowest rake!
- Modern software with built-in HUD, dynamic avatars and more — a truly unique poker experience.
Simple Mechanics, Generous Rewards
The leaderboard promotion is easy to follow and requires no opt-in. Players automatically earn 10 leaderboard points for every $1 in rake they contribute while playing real money cash games. All cash game tables qualify for the promotion.
Each week, the top 20 players in each of the three leaderboard tiers- Low, Medium, and High stakes will be awarded Poker Bonus prizes. In the low-stakes tier, prizes range from $5 for the lowest-ranked player to $200 for the top spot, with a total of $1,270 awarded. The Medium stakes leaderboard pays between $10 and $400, amounting to $2,160 in total prizes. High-stakes players compete for the biggest share, with prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000 and a total pool of $7,725.
BetRivers Poker Cash Game Leaderboard Promotion
| Buy-in Category | Table Stakes Eligible | Places Paid | Prize Range | Total Prize Pool Offered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro | $0.01/$0.02 and $0.05/$0.10 | 20 | $5 to $200 | $1,270 |
| Medium | $0.10/$0.20 and $0.25/$0.50 | 20 | $10 to $400 | $2,160 |
| High | $0.50/$1, $1/$2, $2.50/$5 and $5/$10 | 20 | $100 to $1,000 | $7,725 |
| $11,155 |
At the end of each week, the 20 players with the highest leaderboard points will receive these Poker Bonus prizes. These prizes will be distributed within 96 hours of each promotional week ending.
However, the operator notes that these Poker Bonus prizes come with release conditions. For every $0.01 in rake generated, $2 of the bonus is cleared and added to the player’s account balance. That means a player receiving the top $1,000 Poker Bonus would need to generate just $5 in rake to fully unlock the amount, an unusually low requirement. Players have 30 days to clear their bonuses before they expire.
In total, more than $22,000 will be awarded over the two-week promotion. Promotions like this are increasingly rare today, and currently, no other operator in the regulated US online poker market offers a cash game leaderboard promotion of this kind.
While operators like WSOP and BetMGM Poker do offer leaderboard promotions, they are typically tied to tournaments or lottery-style sit and gos, such as WSOP’s BLAST or PokerStars’ Spin & Go. At present, BetRivers Poker is the only regulated US online poker room running a leaderboard promotion exclusively for cash game players.
Wide-Ranging Player Promotions
These promotions coincide with the operator’s recent expansion into three new states and the launch of a shared liquidity network that connects players across Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, and Delaware.
In addition to the cash game leaderboard, the operator is running several other promotions across various formats. For fans of lottery sit and gos, the SNG Rapid Reload promotion awards free SNG tickets to players who don’t cash. Cash game players can also benefit from the Happy Hours promo, which gives $1 in Poker Bonus for every $5 in rake generated during select hours.
Tournament players aren’t left out either. The MTT Early Bird promotion gives back 10% of a player’s total eligible buy-ins in the form of tournament ticket rewards each week. There is also the generous Rakeback Revolution program, offering up to 250% additional iRush Bonus Store points.
All of these offers are in addition to a welcome bonus for new players, which includes a 100% deposit match of up to $1,000.
