MULTIPLIERS

For each of the tournaments below that you participate in, you will have your race points multiplied by an additional 0.1, up to a maximum of 2. For example, if you participate in two tournaments listed then your race points will be multiplied by 1.2 to get your total score. If you participate in all 10, your race points will be multiplied by 2.

The 10 tournaments which qualify for a multiplier are listed below. All times are poker server time, which is GMT-5.

15:00 $6,000 Guaranteed - 2 Rebuys / 1 Addon
17:00 Evening 109 $20,000 Guaranteed Tournament - $109
18:30 $5000 Guaranteed Freezeout - $22
19:15 $10,000 Guaranteed Freezeout - $33

Looking forward to being a part of that rakerace.

As for the 100% 600 buck bonus, whats the clearing rate? Instant :-)?

Is the rake race in addition to other promotions or a substitute for them?

looks like merge is trying to compete. I look forward to the rest of the promotions.

It looks like in addition. But the other promotions aren't out yet so they could suck or be awesome. We'll see.

The rake race is in addition to the RPM Poker exclusive promotions, the VIP Program, and all bonus offers.

Sounds good, but with the clearing rates they have you need like 50k points to clear that $600. I wonder how many days they will give.

obvious response to Lock leaving is obvious

anyway, where can we find updated standings for the these rake races?

An individual race CHASE would have been fun. Rake races are usually won by some high stakes grinder and after day one many players are like "meh I have no chance". But with an individual rake CHASE people would be motivated to put grind on the mind because they are only up against themselves. AND the rake chase isn't like the poker site is going broke or anytyhing because all they are doing is just giving back a higher rake back to all their customer during the promo.

^^ I like rake chases better, too, but I play micros. I'm just guessing, but I think that rake races would probably generate more rake than a chase would, which is why they're doing it this way.

I rake high in a month, but doubt I'm up to the high limit players and the tourney's are all pretty high entry levels ... As a limit grinder I play a little of the tourney's but not at those stakes (could play 1 or 2). Mostly this would boost to avoid paying a overlay on the tournament. Kind of not much to see here.

For the record, double point days were the best and hope to see at least some happy hour kind of promotion to get some amount of variety to the promo's on RPM. Guess just have to wait and see.

How much volume do you guys thing will win the rake race? If I play most, if not all, of the MTTs nightly + like 4k hands of 50nl-200nl -- how do you think i'd fare?

ya any update on where i can track the standings of this event?

How fast does the $600 Reload bonus clear with VIP vs RB? I also saw that the bonus expires upon withdrawal and can only use it once (so u can't break it down in multiples of $600? What about transfers, do they affect the bonus?)

to win ull have to play full days and all the mtt's (my guess)

i know rr is pretty competitive with the winner raking 18k last month i think it was

I am looking to reload and can't find this code anywhere.

Little help?

edit: Also I would like to activate rakeback on my account. Easiest way to email support?
