We collect 50 cents from the pot of every raked hand played on our Bad Beat Jackpot tables, so the jackpot grows the more you play. With more than 100 tables, the jackpot typically increases by $1,000 every hour.

Win on our Bad Beat Jackpot tables if you lose with a hand of Four of a Kind, 8s, or better.

 

Fund distribution

Every time the jackpot is hit, 70% of the jackpot will be distributed and 20% will be used as a seed for the next jackpot. We will retain 10% as an administrative fee.

Of the distributed amount, 50% will go to the loser of the hand (the Bad Beat), 25% will go to the winner, and the remaining 25% will be split between the other seated players who took part in the hand. Players who sat out of the hand will not receive a portion of the jackpot.

To qualify for the Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot

• The Bad Beat Jackpot is only available on specially designated tables available under the ‘Cash Game’ tab
• Four or more players must be dealt into the hand
• Players sitting out do not qualify for the jackpot
• The losing hand must contain Four of a Kind, 8s, or better to qualify
• The best hand for both the winner and the loser must include their two hole cards, and the hand must go to a showdown
• The hand must be raked and the jackpot contribution must be collected in order for the hand to qualify for a Bad Beat Jackpot
• The two highest hands will be considered for the jackpot if there are two or more hands that qualify for the jackpot, with the highest hand being the winning hand (the winner) and the second highest hand winning the jackpot (the loser of the hand)
• The hand that started first (based on our system clock) will be awarded the jackpot if two qualifying jackpot hands are hit at exactly the same time
• Players must play their hands independently and cannot tell opponents how to act or reveal their hand to other players. Violations will disqualify the hand from the Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot.
