Betfair: Double StrategyPoints, $6,000 Points Race and More

Play at Betfair in November and you can benefit from several promotions. This weekend we will give all PokerStrategists double StrategyPoints for playing there, but you should also keep in mind that we are running a $6,000 points race for the whole month.

This weekend, all PokerStrategists playing at Betfair Poker will be able to earn twice as many StrategyPoints as they normally would.

This means that we will double all StrategyPoints that you get between Friday the 5th of November, 23:00 GMT and Monday, the 8th of November, 22:59 GMT.

This is a great opportunity to get up in rank faster and have access to more of our educational content such as articles, videos or coaching sessions.

This offer is only available to PokerStrategists that have a tracked Betfair Poker account. If you don't have one yet, create it now and we will also give you a first deposit bonus of up to $2,500:

Please note that these extra StrategyPoints only count towards your PokerStrategy.com rank and your lifetime counter. They do not count toward promotions such as the Top 250.

Ongoing $6,000 points race

We are also hosting an exclusive points race where you can win your share of $6,000 at the end of the month. All you have to do is to play at the Betfair Poker real money tables and earn Player Points. The more you play, the more points you get and the bigger your payout will be in our race.

The race has begun a few days ago, so it's not too late to join the action. We will keep you up to date with the standings from this race in our forum thread, where you can also find the full payout structure.

Get a seat at the Betfair Poker Live! Vienna Main Event

Five of these packages will be given away in a special points race that will be taking place from the 8th to the 21st of November. Each tournament package is worth $900 and is comprised of $375 for the buy-in and $525 for travel expenses.

On top of that, if you manage to earn at least 10 StrategyPoints at Betfair Poker between the 23rd of October and 21st of November, you will enter a special freeroll where another package is at stake. The payout also includes several SnG steps tickets, so you can work your way up and still be able to join the Main Event.
