This time the rewards will mostly consist of Global Spins tickets, WPT Global's take on the popular Lottery SNG format, making it much easier to transfer Rake Chase prizes into cold-hard cash compared to the MTT tickets we've given away in 2023.

There are payout steps or players of all kinds, and unlike a Rake Race you won't have to battle others players for the best prizes in our Rake Chase. Simply hit the outlined rake thresholds and you will be rewarded!

Check out the exact prizes you can win every month below:
