The Bankroll Challenge returns - with a KKPoker Boost!

PokerStrategy.com bloggers can win $100 a month, with extra prizes available for players at KKPoker. Meanwhile, our active challengers should provide their first update by Monday.





In the Bankroll Challenge we encourage our members to get better by blogging about their poker journey and setting some ambitious goals. 

Our members found that having a blog kept them accountable to their goals and it's a great way to help them get to know their fellow PokerStrategists. As the saying goes 'what gets measured, gets managed' and simply having a blog keeps you on your A-Game. 

To help you on your journey and with a little bit of luck you can win $100 that we will raffle once a month among our active bloggers, regardless of where they play, accompanied by a special badge for their forum avatar for anyone succeeding in their first Bankroll Challenge.

And for all our current Bankroll Challengers, remember that the first update on your challenge is due by Monday, September 5. Don't worry though if you've already regularly updated your blog since starting the Bankroll Challenge. This is only the minimum requirement where we encourage every participant to write at least one meaningful post every 1st and 3rd Monday of a month.

Extra Prizes with the KKPoker Boost

If you do your challenge at KKPoker you not only get a headstart because of the 50% Rakeback they are offering any PokerStrategist signing up.

Our mobile-only partner is throwing in more prizes for all Bankroll Challenge bloggers, with Silver, Black and Platinum Cards raffled monthly among any PokerStrategist taking part in the Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker.

What's more, anyone completing their first Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker will get a month's Platinum Card and Samurai Era Pack, with the cards unlocking exciting game features including opponent HUD stats and the Samurai Pack unlocking special card themes and a new table layout.

The challenge is open to all PokerStrategists and you do not need to be tracked to us to participate. Remember though that you will benefit from extra prizes if you take part in the Bankroll Challenge at KKPoker.

To participate, all you need to do is:

  • Start a blog in our forum.
  • State your starting bankroll, your regular stakes/games and your poker room in the first post.
  • Set a long term bankroll goal of at least $500 and/or a minimum of five times your starting bankroll.
  • Sign-up to the Bankroll Challenge in our registration thread, with a link to your personal blog, your initial bankroll and your goal.
  • Post at least once a week in your blog.
  • If you participate at KKPoker, your results will be tracked automatically but you still need to update your blog at least once a week.

Once a month we will raffle $100 among all eligble PokerStrategists regardless of where you play. Players participating at KKPoker get an exclusive KKPoker Boost where you're able to win Silver, Black and Platinum Cards on top.
