Jacks or Better Challenge on PokerStars
Throughout the month of August PokerStars is offering players the opportunity to instantly win up to $10,000 in cash through the new Jacks or Better Poker Challenge. Simply win hands while holding a pair of Jacks or better and you’ve got a chance to hit it big.
Here’s how it works:
First, players are required to opt-in for the promotion by selecting the ‘Start’ button for the ‘Jacks or Better Poker Challenge’ under the Challenges window. From there, play in any cash game (including Zoom) with stakes $.05/$.10 or higher and every time you win a pot while holding a pair of Jacks or better you will receive points. Once you’ve reached the daily goal of 100 points you’ll instantly receive a cash prize of up to $10K.
Players will be given a 20-point head start when they play their first eligible hand of the day, and winning a hand with quads or better will instantly award a player with 100 points - immediately completing their daily challenge.
Participants will receive the following point totals based on their winning hands:
Requirement | Points |
Bonus Points | |
Play your first eligible hand after opting in to your Challenge | 20 |
Winning Hand | |
One Pair (Jacks or better) | 2 |
Two Pair | 3 |
Three of a Kind | 6 |
Straight | 10 |
Flush | 12 |
Full House | 14 |
Quads or better - Instant Win! |
Points can only be accumulated at NL or PL Hold’em tables with stake of $.05/$.10 or higher. There must be 3 or more players dealt into the hand to qualify.
The instant cash prizes will be awarded randomly to qualified players with the following probabilities:
Reward | Probability |
$10,000 | 0.002% |
$1,000 | 0.005% |
$200 | 0.042% |
