3 New Rake Races and Over $15,000 in Prizes this November
Just like we previously announced, we will continue with our promotions from October. However, we will add three new rake races on on 888.com Pacific Poker, Ladbrokespoker and Poker Heaven with a total prize pool of over $15,000!
In November we will be giving away over $170,000 in promotions and rake
races. Besides our well-known top 250 race, we will continue with our
local Top 20, as well as the rake races which we already had in
October.
However, in case you missed the news announcing our November promotions, we have added three new rake races on 888.com Pacific Poker, Ladbrokespoker and Poker Heaven!
The goal for all of these races is simple: the more you play, the more 
StrategyPoints you get. The more StrategyPoints you have at the end of the month, the higher your prize will be.
€5,000 Rake Race on Poker Heaven
This just in: the Poker Heaven rake race prize pool will now be €5,000 instead of $5,000!

What is a Rake Race?
A rake race is a time-limited promotion in which PokerStrategy.com members who earn the mostStrategyPoints
in a short time get a reward. Rake Races can be held in all or any of
the PokerStrategy.com partner rooms (this means that all the StrategyPoints
earned by you across all the rooms where you are playing would be added
up for the time period when the promotion is running). An example of
this type of rake race is our $100,000 Top 250 promotion.
Alternatively, the rake race can take place on just the one poker room
and only the StrategyPoints earned through playing on this one site
would count.How do I take part?
You need a poker account that has been tracked over PokerStrategy.com in order to participate in any rake race. Please set up your poker room account as described in the Poker Rooms section of the website. As soon as you begin playing, you start earningStrategyPoints.
The more you play, the more SPs you get. Once the time period for the
rake race is over, you need to have earned enough SPs to appear in the
ranking, and you will receive your prize coordingly.
