Sorry, we do not have this promotion in your jurisdiction
But good news! You can join our Bankroll Challenge and get paid for tracking your poker progress!
Did 2025 not go quite as well as you would have wanted at the poker tables? Maybe it's time to start a Bankroll Challenge.
In the Bankroll Challenge, you keep and update a regular poker blog in our forum detailing your goals, successes, failures, study and also social stuff. If you are consistent with it, not only will you improve as a player, but you could also win prizes.
Our Bankroll Challengers have all said the process of keeping a blog where other poker players are watching forces them to be more accountable to their goals.
Players like , our Bankroll Challenge MVP, who has been blogging for years and had all kinds of poker success. He is a big advocate of blogging to help achieve many of his lofty goals.
