Mantelo wins $65k!
What a way for the Bankroll Challenge legend to end his, by giving himself a bankroll of almost over $100k!
Recently we told you that mantelo pledged to buy a piece of art if he had a $5,000 score. Well, he may be putting on an art exhibition after this remarkable score...
That is one hell of a way to complete your Bankroll Challenge. Seriously folks, give this guy a follow, he knows how to set, and achieve, goals. Congrats!
Another one of our big Bankroll success stories is studentishe who once again is sharing a lot of wisdom about Lottery SNGs and in particular the profitability of BLAST leaderboards.
Our challenger 3nduranc3 has doubled down and launched a GGPoker Bankroll challenge prop bet - would you bet against him?
Once again, we like creativity in the Bankroll Challenge, and we really like what thegrindchronicles is doing posting regular YouTube videos:
The $100 winner is...
It's not $65k but it is risk free. This month's $100 winner is.............3nduranc3 - even if you lose your prop bet you are 100 bucks better off!
Congrats!

What is the Bankroll Challenge?
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.
How to join the Bankroll Challenge
The challenge is open to all PokerStrategists and you do not need to be tracked to us 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.
Once a month we will raffle $100 among all eligble PokerStrategists participating in the Bankroll Challenge regardless of where you play.
Double Dip with the Blogger Raffle
After running our community raffle in familiar fashion for years, with one or two special editions sprinkled in, we're now switching things up permanently!
There are brand-new weekly prizes to be won that you can get your hands on and a whole range of new tasks that go along with the new Blogger Raffle.
As the name suggests, there are now way more ways available for active contributors in our forum to win one of the weekly prizes, alongside weekly StrategyPoints milestones and various other tasks. Commenting news, watching videos, or most of the other old website tasks won't result in weekly raffle tickets any longer, though.
We're also mixing things up when it comes to the weekly prizes, making sure all our weekly winners will be able to cash out their prize right away through our Tell-a-Friend account system, whichever way they prefer.
Check out the latest winners right away
| Rank | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | $150 |
| 2 | $75 |
| 3 | $50 |
| 4 | $50 |
| 5 | $50 |
There's a total prize pool of $375 up for grabs every single week, with the following tasks available for you to complete every week or once as a one-time boost in order to earn tickets for the new raffle.
After the official first run of the raffle, we've slightly adjusted the amount of tickets collectable through earning StrategyPoints or posting in a member's blog, with the former now bringing less and the latter more tickets than before.

| Post an update in your own blog in our forum | 25 |
| Post in the blog of other community members | 10 (up to 5x) |
