Online Poker Players Join the Points Race at RedKings.com

Today came the announcement by Red Kings online poker room that the site would be launching a special $300,000 Points Race Promotion on Tuesday, March 16, 2010. This will be the online poker room’s fifth time holding the event which has seen incredible popularity amongst online players.

The Point per Day system allows players to accumulate points over time. Players have received a combined $750,000 in cash prizes during previous Points Race series and this one is expected to be the most lucrative race of all. Players will even be given the added option of taking out a Poker Side Bet on their own results during the event.

Alison Greg, VIP Promotions Manager at RedKings.com commented on the new race saying, “Each new Points race we add something different and challenging for the players, this time we have a new lower level for the smaller players so that they can participate at just 25 RedKings player points a day and 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.”

The “Point Per Day 5” is different than any other race in the past because there are now 4 levels in which players can bet on how many points they can win each day for the entire 28 days of the event. For every single day a player meets the requirement, they will get one race point added to their score and additional prizes should they exceed that expectation of the chosen level. Prizes will be awarded in cold hard cash and thousands of players are expected to take part in the action. On average, the last four Points Races saw 1200 players being paid out for each individual race.

“Unlike normal Poker Rake Races we ensure that the maximum numbers of players win. 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,” explained Greg.

The competition begins tomorrow, March 16, 2010 and will continue through April 13. While on the Points per Day journey, players can check their leaderboard standings any time by visiting the RedKings.com website.
