How much can you make at Spin & Go?

What can you expect to earn at each stake level and at what level can you turn pro as a Spins crusher?




The perception is that Jackpot SNGs are still the softest format because they attract so many recreational players looking for a big jackpot, but how much can you win at them?

Below is the projections we use for our players at SpinLegends on what we think their winrate can be, based on the value of our educational material and the current population trends. This is assuming our member plays for 25 hours a week.  

Stake evROI Spins/hour Rake/hour Rakeback/hour Hourly Rate Monthly Income
$0.25 8% 10 $0.20 $0.01 $0.20 $21
$1 7% 10 $0.80 $0.04 $0.70 $74
$3 6% 15 $3.60 $0.18 $2.70 $288
$7 5% 15 $7.35 $0.37 $5.25 $562
$15 5% 15 $13.50 $0.68 $11.25 $1,193
$30 4% 24 $43.20 $2.16 $28.80 $3,096
$60 3.5% 24 $72 $3.60 $50.40 $5,400
$100 3.5% 24 $120 $6 $84 $9,000

You'll notice a few interesting things in this table, first that we have not included projections for big multipliers, that's because we are basing this on no jackpots at all, because Spins are beatable without them. Any big games you find yourself in are a bonus. We have also been conservative with rakeback projections because the new VIP system is so variable at PokerStars, we have leaned towards a low amount of 5%. So you can probably expect a higher overall average in addition once you factor in rakeback and multiplier games. 

You'll also notice that we start our players on less tables at the small stakes. This goes against a lot of the prevailing wisdom that small stakes should be played at high volume to get rakeback. We much prefer or new players to use their time at the small stakes to improve their skills in the lab away from the tables. It's a slower start, but we think it's a much more reliable way to climb the ranks and crush the biggest levels. Once they have a grasp of the fundamentals we find our players can move up several stakes in just a few months. 

We don't want players who just want to grind the small stakes, we want them to absolutely crush every level and get to the promised land of the $30 Spins and better where the money gets really serious. If you are looking to make a quick buck, go somewhere else, but if you want to become a great player the right way, we want to hear from you.
