A total of $67,000 will be up for grabs on PokerStrategy.com in November, when seven rake races will take place. Also, the results for our races in October are being processed and they will be published shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience.

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: 01.11.2009 - 30.11.2009
- Registration: You do not need to register to take part in these rake races - you can participate if you just have an account created through PokerStrategy.com. For Everest Poker, you need to enter the code PSRACE under Account - Bonus until the end of the month.
What is a Rake Race?
In a Rake Race, the aim 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 race runs over the course of one month.
To collect StrategyPoints, you simply need to be a PokerStrategy.com member and have an 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. There is no time limit as to when you can start playing and collecting StrategyPoints. However, the earlier you start the higher your chances of winning.
