Bad Beat Jackpot

The Bad Beat Jackpot is the best way to win: It gets bigger the more you play.

Partypoker collects 50 cents from the pot of every raked hand played on their Bad Beat Jackpot tables, so the jackpot grows the more you play. With more than 100 tables, the jackpot typically increases by $1,000 every hour.

Win on the Bad Beat Jackpot tables if you lose with a hand of Four of a Kind, 8s, or better.

Fund distribution

From October 2009*, the Bad Beat Jackpot ticker in the Lobby will show the full amount which will be paid out when it’s hit. This will be 70% of the total Bad Beat Jackpot rake: they’ll use 20% of the overall amount to seed the next jackpot and take 10% as an administrative fee.

Of the amount paid out, 50% will go to the loser of the hand (the Bad Beat), 25% will go to the winner of the hand and the remaining 25% will be split between the other players involved in the hand. Players who sat the hand out will not receive a slice of the jackpot.

* From the next winning Bad Beat Jackpot hand and the subsequent Bad Beat Jackpot.

To qualify for the Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot

• The Bad Beat Jackpot is only available on specially designated tables available under the ‘Cash Game’ tab
• Four or more players must be dealt into the hand
• Players sitting out do not qualify for the jackpot
• The losing hand must contain Four of a Kind, 8s, or better to qualify
• The best hand for both the winner and the loser must include their two hole cards, and the hand must go to a showdown
• The hand must be raked and the jackpot contribution must be collected in order for the hand to qualify for a Bad Beat Jackpot
• The two highest hands will be considered for the jackpot if there are two or more hands that qualify for the jackpot, with the highest hand being the winning hand (the winner) and the second highest hand winning the jackpot (the loser of the hand)
• The hand that started first (based on our system clock) will be awarded the jackpot if two qualifying jackpot hands are hit at exactly the same time
• Players must play their hands independently and cannot tell opponents how to act or reveal their hand to other players. Violations will disqualify the hand from the Progressive Bad Beat Jackpot.

Other conditions

• The jackpot contribution will only be collected if the hand is dealt on a jackpot table to four or more players and a rake is collected from the hand
• Jackpot rake will be collected at the rate of $0.01 per $0.10 pot up to a maximum of $0.50 when the pot reaches $5.00
• These contributions are added to the jackpot until it is hit
