Online casino RedKings.com has launched the latest instalment of its Points Race promotion today offering players the chance to take a poker side bet on their own results.
This is the fifth edition of the domain’s Point Per Day promotion and will award a total of over $300,000 in cash before finishing on April 13.
Powered by software from the OnGame Network, RedKings.com stated that its Points Per Day promotions have awarded in excess of $750,000 in cumulative payouts over the past five months. It revealed that the promotions’ ‘innovative format’ sees winnings added on top of any bonuses or VIP value-back players may be taking.
“Each new Points Per Day promotion we add something different and challenging for the players,” said Alison Greg, VIP Promotions Manager for RedKings.com.
“This time, we have a new lower level for the smaller player so that these can participate for just 25 RedKings.com player points a day alongside side bets so that players can bet on themselves making the daily requirement. I think this is the first time in online poker history there are side bets in a points race.”
RedKings.com stated that its latest promotion features four levels where players may decide on how many RedKings.com points they can get for every day of the 28-day competition. Competitors earn one point for meeting their daily requirement and can check their progress via a special leaderboard.
In addition, players can boost their points tally by achieving more than their daily minimum requirement with RedKings.com stating that it expects more than 2,000 participating competitors.
“Unlike normal poker rake races, we ensure that the maximum numbers of players win,” said Greg.
“This is not just for the top big rakers, it's for players of all sizes. The Point Per Day concept is all about consistency and the only person players compete against is themselves. They don't have to worry about the other guy.
“We welcome new online poker players to give our points race a try. Making their first deposit at RedKings.com, they can take one of our great poker deposit bonuses plus play in Point Per Day 5, which is a fantastic offer. Existing RedKings.com players can get the points race rewards on top of their poker cashback .If you make the requirements we will give you more money.”
