Poker points races (also known as rake races) carry excellent value for players, because they reward them for something that they do at the table regardless of whether or not they take part in a promotion: they pay rake. The $65k points race is such a promotion. It may be called a points race, but – since those points are awarded in a directly proportional manner with the rake generated by players through real money play – one may as well call it a rake race. How does one collect a share of the $65k prize-pool? All there is to do is to play in as many real money cash games as possible. Poker points can be earned through tournament play as well, but cash games produce these points at a faster rate.

The leaderboard is tracked through the month, and frozen at the end of it. The player who is in 1st place at that time can count himself $10k richer.

While points can be earned in various ways, the peculiarity of the Americas Cardroom deal is that players can pick up more points by playing in the major tournaments run by the site.

Playing in the weekday $4k guaranteed events gives players 50 points. The weekend guarantees, the Saturday $7.5k and the Sunday $15k offer even better rewards: 75 points can be picked up on Saturdays and 150 points on Sundays just by playing in these events.

Playing in the Across events will result in extra poker points rewards too. While it is indeed the winner who walks away with the lion’s share of the prize-pool, he’s not the only one to take money home. Second place is worth $5k and third place $2.75k. No fewer than 275 players will be paid. The last paying position is worth $50.
