Bad Beat Jackpot
We’ve expanded the pool of eligible participants — more winners than ever before!
Bad Beat Jackpot Triggers
The jackpot activates when a player loses with one of these qualifying hands or better:
Hold’em & Rush & Cash Hold’em
Lose with a full house (Aces full of Tens) or better
PLO & Rush & Cash PLO
Lose with four 2s or better
PLO-5
Lose with four 8s or better
Short Deck
Lose with four 6s or better
Hitting the Jackpot — Requirements
To qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot, all of these conditions must be met:
Both the winner and loser must show their hand at showdown.
Both players must use both of their hole cards (in PLO/PLO-5: exactly two hole cards) to make their best 5-card hand.
Both the winner and loser need pocket pairs to form their four-of-a-kind hands.
If running it multiple times (RIMT), only the first run counts toward the jackpot.
If you meet the jackpot requirements and then leave or get disconnected, you still receive your prize.
In Rush & Cash mode, jackpots do not trigger at tables with 5 or fewer players dealt in.
Jackpot Payout
The payout percentage is equal across all blind levels regardless of how the jackpot pool is divided. See the breakdown below:
Jackpot Fund
Hold’em, PLO, PLO-5, Short Deck, and Rush & Cash all contribute to one shared jackpot pool. The pool grows continuously as a portion from each game is set aside. You can check the current jackpot amount live in the PC or mobile client lobby.
Fund Accumulation Rules
Hold’em / PLO / PLO-5 / Rush & Cash
When a pot reaches 30 big blinds or more, 1 big blind is added to the jackpot fund before the winner is paid.
3-blind game: 0.4 BB contributed. 4 or fewer players: treated as a 2-blind table, 1 BB contributed.
Short Deck
When a pot reaches 60 button blinds or more, 1 button blind is added to the jackpot fund before paying the winner.
