March 14 2010 – Online Poker room RedKings .com today announced the start date of their $300,000 Points race as the 16th March. This is the fifth version of their hugely popular Point per Day series which has now seen cumulative payouts to players over the past 5 months of over $750,000. This latest version of the Point Race allows players to take a Poker Side Bet on their own results.

Commented  Alison Greg, RedKings.com VIP Promotions Manager, “Each new Points race we add something different and challenging for the players, this time we have a new lower level for the smaller players so that they can participate at just 25 RedKings player points a day and Side Bets so that players can bet on themselves making the daily requirement. I think this is the first time in Online Poker history  there are Side bets in a points race.”

This new Online Poker Points Race called ‘Point per Day 5’ differs in that there are now 4 levels where players decide on how many RedKings player points they can get every day of the race, which runs for 28 days. Each day the requirement is met earns 1 race point and players can boost their prizes by achieving more than the requirement level chosen. All prizes are in cash and it is expected that over 2000 players will participate. Payouts over the last four races has seen an average of 1200 players been paid out each time.

Commented Greg, “Unlike normal Poker Rake Races we ensure that the maximum numbers of players win. This is not just for the top big rakers, it’s for players of all sizes. The Point per Day concept is all about consistency and the only person players compete against is themselves, they don’t have to worry about the other guy.”

What make these RedKings Points Races so popular are their innovative format and the fact that the winnings are all on top of any bonuses or VIP valueback the players may be taking up at the time.

Starting on the 16th March and running through to 13th April Online poker players will be able to check their leaderboard standings daily at the RedKings.com website.
