Every sport has the capacity for nation to take on nation and at Bwin Poker online poker players have just such an opportunity with the Nations Cup. The Nations Cup at Bwin Poker gives the members of the online poker community the opportunity to rally their kin and then beat them not in the name of honor, or freedom, but for good old hard cash - a $50,000 prize pool to be precise. Of course that isn't to say that there isn't honor involved as in fact there's a vast amount of it - not only will the Nations Cup pay its winner a huge cash prize, it will also pay them the greatest honor of all; recognizing them as the best poker player in the land. The way that the Nations Cup works is ingenious. The country must perform as best it can in order to get as big a chunk of the prize pool as possible. Individuals must play as much as they can in $1 - $22 tournaments in order to earn points which will elevate them in their National Leaderboard. The leaderboard is running till the end of the month and each week players' top 7 tournament results be identified and from these their leaderboard points will be given. At the end of the promotional period it will be clear which member of the online poker community is the best of each country and they will be rewarded accordingly from their country's share of the prize pool. The number of players receiving cash payouts per country will depend on how many players take part - the more players there are taking part the more paid positions there will be. For example a country with more than 3,000 players will have 150 paid places whilst a country with under 200 will get 10 paid positions
