Poker Basics

Rake Race

A promotional competition where players compete to generate the most rake within a specific time period, typically a week or month. Players who generate the highest rake amounts win prizes from a designated prize pool. Rake races incentivize high-volume play and are popular promotions at crypto poker rooms.

Example

This month's rake race awards $10,000 to the top 50 players by rake generated. You are in 12th place with $800 in rake — climbing to the top 10 would earn you a $500 bonus.
