Americas Cardroom’s The Beast has been one of the most popular weekly rake races for quite a while now. It is definitely not a new promotion, and although its popularity is still as high as ever, Americas Cardroom officials have decided that it was time to overhaul The Beast a little. What they’re going to do is to essentially get rid of the jackpot fees, and expand the promotion to all the cash tables at the site. The changes will go into effect on April 5, 2014, and they will indeed add a boatload of value to the already popular promotion.
If you don’t already have an Americas Cardroom account, create one now and take advantage of the extra value The Beast now offers!

Despite its popularity, the Beast had a few issues. The first one was tied to the special jackpot fees, which were required of players who played at the jackpot tables. Those have been done away with now and Americas Cardroom will apparently directly pick up the tab for it. Starting April 5, the jackpot will be fed with a percentage of the rake players pay at the tables, which means it will essentially come right out of the pockets of the operator. There will not be any changes to the amount of rake the player pays. Of every $0.06 that goes into the middle in the form of the rake, $0.02 will go towards “feeding” The Beast. The caps on the rake will remain the same too. The site will continue to use the weighted contributed rake distribution method.

Since there are no more jackpot fees, there aren’t any more reasons to keep the jackpot tables separated from the rest of the regular cash tables either. From April 5, ACR players will be able to jump into any cash game at the site and play for The Beast jackpot.
Everyone playing in cash games at the site will get to take part in the leader board competition as well, which is an excellent addition to The Beast.
In the leader board race, players will pick up a point for every $0.02 they contribute in rake. The weighted contributed rake method only credits rake contribution to those who actually put money into the pot, so make sure you take that into account.
The bottom line: opening an account at Americas Cardroom has never made more sense than it does right now. The Beast is now essentially free…all you need to do is to reach out and grab the extra value that’s out there.
