Get Rich or Die Trying: The Bankroll Challenge

Win a status upgrade while at the same time increasing your bankroll in our new community promotion.

PokerStrategy Bankroll Challenge

With our new Bankroll Challenge you will discover that setting public goals will keep you motivated. Not only is it a way to have some fun in our community, you can also enjoy some fame and fortune along the way. 

All we want you to do is make a public goal in our forums about how much you would like to increase your bankroll by. If you get there not only will we award you a status upgrade, but you can win prizes along the way too. 

Set a goal

  • You can start with any amount, but your minimal goal needs to be at least $1000.
  • It must also increase your bankroll by at least five times.
  • You can increase your bankroll with winnings, bonuses & rakeback, and money won from poker promotions. 

Start logging your progress

Keep us updated

Every week we need you to post in your blog with:

  • Number of hands/tourmaments played.
  • Weekly bankroll movements in USD or EUR. 
  • Current Bankroll. 
  • How many weeks you have been in this promotion. 

Why join the challenge?

Poker Hall of Fame

Setting and reaching goals, as well as actively discussing poker, will help you be more motivated and concentrated during your playing and learning sessions. We also can confirm the following benefits:

  • A special forum signature.
  • Entry into a Hall of Fame for achieving your goal as well as winning a one-month Status Upgrade (You may then set-up a new challenge).
