HOW IT WORKS

Look out for ‘Bad Beat Jackpot’ tables. We collect $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked $0.25 or more.

The jackpot keeps growing until someone hits an unbelievable bad beat.

Definition of a Bad Beat

If you lose a hand holding four eights (8888) or better, that’s a bad beat.

Everyone’s a Winner

Thanks to your Bad Beat, everyone at the table will win a slice of the jackpot pie.

And that’s not all…

Anyone holding cards and playing the identical game type and limit, as the winner, will also enjoy a chunk of the change.

Who Gets What

• 25% rolls over to the next Bad Beat Jackpot
• 10% goes to the house

Of the remaining 65%

• 50% goes to the Bad Beat victim
• 25% goes to the winner of the hand
• $1K goes to every other player at the Bad Beat table
• The remainder is divided between everyone playing the same game type and limit when the Bad Beat goes down.

Hit the tables now and discover how good your next bad beat can feel.

Qualifying Terms & Conditions

• Not all tables qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot. Texas Hold’Em Bad Beat Jackpot tables will be noted with the word "jackpot" written in brackets after the table name and will be categorized in red text in the lobby.
• In order to qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot, four or more players must be dealt in the hand and rake must be collected.
• The losing hand must contain four eights (8888) or better.
• Players sitting out at the Bad Beat Jackpot table are not eligible for the jackpot.
• Both hole cards must be included in the winning and losing hand.
• The hand must go to a showdown in order to qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot.
• If there are two or more hands that qualify for the jackpot within one hand, then the two highest hands will be considered for the jackpot, with the highest hand being the winning hand (the winner) and the second highest hand winning the bad beat (the loser of the hand)
• Should two qualifying jackpot hands hit at precisely the same time, the jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first according to the AP game time.
• Absolute Poker does not tolerate collusion. All players must act independently and not reveal their hands to other players, nor tell them how to act. Failure to abide by these rules will result in automatic disqualification from the Bad Beat Jackpot.
• The Bad Beat Jackpot collects $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked $0.25 or more. Only hands with a rake higher than $0.25 are eligible for the Bad Beat Jackpot
• A player qualifies for a bad beat jackpot portion (share) if he plays on a bad beat jackpot table and 4 players must have been dealt.
