Points buy-in:
- $5,000 prize pool
- Places paid = 250
- Winners prize = $500
Low buy-in ($6-$33)
- $30,000 prize pool
- Places paid = 500
- Winners prize = $2,500
High buy-in ($55 and above):
- $65,000 prize pool
- Places paid = 500
- Winners prize = $5,000
Here’s how it works
Just play in as many Pokerfest events as possible to climb the leader boards.
We’ll calculate your place on the leader board using a special formula (√Buy-in/2 + √wins) that takes into account the level of tournament you’ve bought into and where you finished in the tournament.
- Leader board points are different from PartyPoints, and will be earned using the following formula: √buy-in/2 + √wins
- Leader board 1 = Points buy-in and covers the following Pokerfest events (2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45):
- Leader board 2 = Low buy-in ($6-$33) and covers the following Pokerfest events (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46):
- Leader board 3 = High buy-in ($55+) and covers the following Pokerfest events (1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 38, 41, 44, 47):
- Please note that ‘buy-in’ refers to the amount contributed to the tournament prize pool and excludes any tournament fees
- Pokerfest qualifiers will not be included in the leader boards
- Players will be able to check their ranking by visiting their Account
- Winners will be paid within 24 hours of the leader board end date
- This promotion is subject to our standard terms and conditions
