VIP and rakeback
Up to 100% rakeback with the contributed-rake Boost system
Boosts can multiply the base rakeback rate by up to 20×, reaching 100% traditional rakeback. A separate reward use can reach 300% when used to host community MTTs. MTT hosts also earn 50% of registration fees. These are different reward calculations.
Blockchain Poker challenges: hands, Sit & Gos and what each pays
Challenges are the other way Blockchain Poker pays you for playing. Each one pays XP and Boost Credit, the same credit you spend on a rakeback Boost, so a challenge feeds straight into your rakeback rate. The weekly cash game challenge is the simplest to plan around. Play 1,000 cash game hands in a week at your usual stakes and collect the credit for that level.
A micro-stakes player at $0.005/$0.01 who plays 1,000 hands in the week gets $5 of Boost Credit and 2,000 XP. Move up to $0.50/$1.00 for the same 1,000 hands and it is $50. Nothing is paid until the full 1,000 hands are in, so 900 hands earn nothing.
| Level | Stakes that count | XP | Boost Credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano | Any stakes | 1,000 | $1 |
| Micro | $0.005/$0.01 or higher | 2,000 | $5 |
| Low | $0.05/$0.10 or higher | 4,000 | $10 |
| Mid | $0.50/$1.00 or higher | 8,000 | $50 |
| High | $5.00/$10.00 or higher | 16,000 | $200 |
| Level | Sit & Go size | XP | Boost Credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano | Any size | 2,500 | $1 |
| Micro | S or larger | 5,000 | $5 |
| Low | M or larger | 10,000 | $50 |
| Mid | L or larger | 15,000 | $250 |
| High | XL or larger | 20,000 | $1,000 |
The Jackpot Lifelines pay you for landing the lowest multiplier. The 2x multiplier is the lowest a Jackpot Sit & Go can spin, and landing it 50 times in a week at XL size or larger pays $1,000 of Boost Credit. Two daily challenges sit beside the weekly ones. Daily Quiet Hours Grinder pays $1 and 500 XP for 500 hands of any game during quiet hours in one day; the client did not say which hours those are. Daily Verified Affiliate pays $100 when a friend you referred completes account verification that day.
Open Challenges in the client's left panel to see your progress and the countdown. On 2 November the weekly timer ran to Wednesday 4 November at about 12:00 UTC. Set a Preferred Currency first: the client says rewards only arrive once one is set. Boost Credit is spent on Boosts under Menu > Rakeback rather than withdrawn as cash.

Blockchain Poker Rakeback & Boosts questions
How do I get up to 100% rakeback?
Open Boosts to view the available commitments and rate multipliers. Boosts can multiply base rakeback by up to 20× to reach 100% traditional rakeback. Earned rakeback is available in the Rakeback dialog.
Is the 300% reward ordinary cash rakeback?
No. The 300% maximum applies to rewards used for community MTT hosting. Traditional rakeback is capped at 100%. The 50% host share of registration fees is a separate benefit.
Are there VIP tiers or a VIP bonus code?
No. Blockchain Poker uses Boosts without VIP tiers. Rakeback accrues automatically; select a Boost in the client and claim earned rewards through Rakeback.
How much do MTT hosts earn?
Hosts receive 50% of registration fees as players enter. An event with $100 in registration fees would produce $50 in host fee revenue. The prize pool is separate.
Which other rewards are available?
Daily, weekly, and monthly challenges, 24/7 freerolls, repeat faucet claims, the optional $125 verification offer, and referral rewards are available. Check the live client for active rake races and tournament promotions.
