New Rake Races in July
Next month we will implement some changes to the monthly rake races we have. Amongst others, the rake chase at EuroPoker has been replaced by a $15,000 rake race, while Betfair has added its own race, worth $2,000.
There are just a few days left from the June rake races, so it's time for a preview of the next month's races. Overall, there will be a total of ten rake races, including our Top250 promotion.

One change, one addition, one removal
There will be a total of 10 rake races next month, including our well-known Top250 competition. We have made some changes to the list and you can read more below below:
- EuroPoker rake chase replaced with $15,000 rake race, top 150 places are paid - the change was necessary as rake chases are no longer allowed on the Ongame network

- 888poker rake race removed
How do I take part?
In order to participate in these rake races, here is what you need to know:
- Goal: Earn as many StrategyPoints as possible until the end of the month
- Requirements: Open to all PokerStrategy.com members. All you need is a poker room account created via PokerStrategy.com
- Period: 01.07.2010 - 31.07.2010
- Registration: You do not need to register to take part in these rake races - you can participate just by having an account created through PokerStrategy.com.

What is a rake race?
In a rake race, the goal is to collect as many StrategyPoints as possible at a specific partner poker room of PokerStrategy.com. The players with the most StrategyPoints at the end of the month will get a share of the prize pool. The races normally run over the course of one month, though some of our partner rooms offer weekly races during the month.
To collect StrategyPoints, you simply need to be a PokerStrategy.com member and have a tracked account at the poker room where the rake race is taking place.
You can, of course, take part in several rake races at the same time. You can join in the rake races at any time. However, the earlier you start, the higher your chances of winning are.
