Stake Poker is offering a $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot for Hold’em and Omaha ring games. Eligible players can win massive rewards when losing with qualifying hands. Learn about payout structures, eligibility criteria, and how to join the action.
Stake Poker has introduced an attractive $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot for its Hold’em and Omaha ring games, adding a new level of excitement for cash game enthusiasts.
Unlike traditional jackpots, the Stake Poker Bad Beat Jackpot is built into designated ring game tables and accumulates from each hand played.
The promotion aims to boost player engagement while providing a lucrative opportunity for those who experience the rare misfortune of losing with premium hands.
Eligibility Standards for Triggering a Payout
To qualify for the $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot, players must meet a strict set of conditions that ensure fairness and transparency across all eligible tables.
- Hold’em Jackpot Criteria
- The losing hand must include at least AAAJJ (Aces full of Jacks).
- Both showdown participants must use exactly two hole cards.
- A pocket pair is required for any four-of-a-kind hands.
Omaha Jackpot Criteria
The losing hand must consist of 2222x or better.
Both players involved must be active until showdown.
Additionally, a minimum of four players must be dealt in for the hand to qualify. The jackpot is only triggered when the hand reaches showdown.
Players who muck before the river or disconnect before completion are not eligible. If the hand is run multiple times, only the first board will count toward jackpot qualification.
Distribution of the Jackpot Payout
Once the jackpot is triggered, Stake Poker’s automated system ensures immediate payout distribution based on a fixed percentage structure.
- Jackpot Payout Breakdown
- Losing Hand (Bad Beat Winner): 8%
- Winning Hand (Bad Beat Opponent): 5%
- Remaining Players at Table: 3% (split equally)
These payouts are instantly credited to the players’ wallets after the hand concludes, providing a seamless and transparent reward experience.
The jackpot fund itself grows from a 2.5% rake contribution collected from ring games, ensuring that every hand played helps build the prize pool.
Limitations and Table Eligibility
The $1 million Bad Beat Jackpot applies exclusively to designated ring game tables featuring the jackpot icon. Games such as tournaments, Sit & Go’s, or other poker variants are not eligible for this promotion.
To remain eligible for a share of the prize:
- Players must stay seated until the hand is completed.
- Only those actively dealt into the hand can receive any portion of the jackpot.
- All payouts are logged within each player’s Stake Poker transaction history for verification.
This ensures complete fairness and traceability for all participants.
