Major changes in poker rooms: May 2020

Despite the fact that the peak attendance of poker rooms has already been in April, May promises to be no less hot, because in the last month of spring many major tournaments are planned with huge guarantees. Thus, if you plan to start playing poker or want to change the room, it may be the right time to do it. Obviously, the poker boom will soon pass, so you need to rush to collect all the cream.

Best deals from BestPoker

In May, the BestPoker room will be drawing $ 10,000 weekly between the participants of the Spin & Gold CIS tournament jackpot. Money will be distributed in proportion to the gold earned. The higher the buy-in and the place occupied in the CIS, the more gold the participant receives. Players participating in Spin & Gold on Saturday will receive 1.5 times more gold. The most profitable time to play is on Sunday – the prize money on this day will double.

For those who want to participate in the World Series of Poker, the good news came up – in May Spin & Gold poker room hosts the WSOP-Circuit. Each player can compete for the main prize.

The series will be held from May 3 to May 31. It includes 18 tournaments, for the victory in each a ring will be awarded. The main event, that worth $ 1,000 and has a guaranteed prize pool of $ 5 million, will be held from May 10 to May 31. On the first day of the tournament you need to play 8 minutes at 17 levels, after which you can participate in the final draw, which will be held at 22:00 Moscow time, May 31. You can play unlimited number of times in the early days. On the second day the largest stack is going to be played. The game at some final tables can be watched live (with an hour delay) on Twitch.

Fans of the Rush & Cash format can participate in the daily race and compete for part of the total prize of $ 20,000. In April, this amount was less by $ 5,000. To participate in this race, you must play at one of the limits at the range of NL2-NL200. The scoring structure has remained the same. The player will receive one point per pass, 2 points per call, 3 points are awarded for raising the bet and the same amount for insurance. The maximum number of points (10) will be transferred in cash drops.

Moreover, the BestPoker room continues to hold the AoF 100 Daily Hand promotion, under the terms of which you need to win back 100 hands to get one buy-in per played limit for free. Also, there are freerolls preserved with a guaranteed prize pool of $ 100, which take place every hour.

How PartyPoker will please you

All April PartyPoker promotions will be extended in May. Cash players will be able to compete for part of the prize of $ 250,000 that are played in the race every week. Depending on the limits played, Cash Race for Hold’em tables is divided into 8 ratings. The same number of ratings is provided for Omaha tables.

Short deck cash tables and tables with fixed limits do not participate in these promotions. Therefore, to participate in the race you need to play standard tables or fastforward-tables. No applications or registrations are required – you will immediately start earning rating points. They are accrued quite simply – for each rating point you will receive one cashback point.

Spins players have also received an opportunity to participate in the race. It is held every day and $ 12,500 are played out in it. There are 5 ratings depending on the limits played. Prize points are awarded according to a very complex scheme, which takes into account the number of players participating in the tournament, the buy-in size and the place obtained.

SNG tournament players can also participate in a daily race with a prize pool of $ 7.250.

PartyPoker hosts the World Poker Tour, which will be held from May 2 to May 20. The tour includes 40 tournaments with the costs from $ 55 to $ 25,500. In the lobby you will not see the nicknames of the players, but you will see their real names. Some tournaments will be broadcast on PartyPoker.tv.
