01 / Earning race points and qualifying

Players receive 5 points for every 1 SC of eligible rake generated by and attributed to them in qualifying ring-game hands. Partial SC amounts earn points proportionally. Only a player's own attributed rake counts; the full rake from a hand is not awarded to every participant.

Only players with more than 5 points qualify for a race, appear in its standings, and count toward its qualifying-player total. Exactly 5 points does not qualify. The cutoff uses the daily score rounded to four decimal places.

Points are recorded separately for each daily race. Each qualifying player appears once per race and may participate in more than one eligible category.

02 / Heads-up and three-handed bonus increments

• 2.5 additional points per SC for rake generated in heads-up hands with two players dealt in.
• 1.25 additional points per SC for rake generated in three-handed hands with three players dealt in.
• Hands with four or more players dealt in receive no table-size increment.

Table size is measured by the number of players dealt into the hand at its start, not the table's seat capacity or the number still in the pot after folds. Bonus increments are added to the base points; they are not multiplied together.

03 / Daily bonus-points window

Eligible rake earns 5 additional points per SC between 04:00–12:00 ET. The window includes hands completed at 04:00:00 and excludes hands completed at or after 12:00:00. The recorded hand completion time determines qualification. Eastern Time follows the applicable daylight-saving adjustment.

The window and table-size increments stack additively. Per 1 SC of eligible rake in the window, heads-up play earns 12.5 points; three-handed play earns 11.25 points; and hands with four or more players earn 10 points. Bonus increments affect points, not the displayed reward pool or an individual reward.

04 / Daily totals and ranking precision

Each race day runs from 00:00 ET inclusive to the next 00:00 ET exclusive, using hand completion time. All applicable points and multipliers are accumulated first. The daily total is then rounded once to four decimal places, with half values rounded up. These same final totals determine both the displayed score and any tie; there is no hidden tie-break score.

Players are ranked from highest to lowest final points. Before the day is finalised, positions and projected rewards can change as points are added.

05 / Reward positions and whole-SC prizes

Every paid prize is a whole SC amount, with a minimum of 1 SC per rewarded player. Each race starts with a target of six reward positions or the top 10% of qualifying players, whichever is greater, capped at the number of qualifying players. The top-10% figure is rounded to the nearest whole player, with half places rounded up. This is a maximum target, not a guaranteed number of payouts.

The number of paid positions is reduced until the smallest scheduled reward is at least 1 SC before rounding, keeping more of the rewards with higher-ranked players. A positive pool with at least one qualifying player rewards first place, including everyone tied there, with a minimum-prize top-up if needed. A zero pool or no qualifying players means no prizes. No rewards are reserved for empty positions.

Higher positions carry larger unrounded rewards; rounding may make adjacent prizes equal. A tie crossing the last scheduled reward position may increase the number of rewarded players. Previously finalized days retain their original prizes and locked payout totals. Their standings and qualifying-player counts still show only players with more than 5 points.

06 / Equal points mean a shared position

Players finishing with equal final points are shown in the same position. Each is assigned the highest position occupied by the tied group. The next position skips the places occupied by that group: for example, two players tied for first are shown as 1st, 1st, 3rd.

There is no first-to-reach-the-score, extra-hand or alphabetical tie-breaker. Names within a tied group may be ordered alphabetically for display only; that order does not affect rank or reward.

07 / Equal shares and whole-SC rounding

The unrounded scheduled rewards for all positions occupied by a tied group are added together and divided equally among every player in that group before rounding. Positions outside the scheduled reward positions contribute zero. When a tie crosses the reward cutoff, every player in the tie receives an equal prize; no tied player is excluded.

Each prize is rounded to the nearest 1 SC, with half values rounded up. Every player sharing a paid position receives at least 1 SC, even when their equal share would otherwise round to zero. Clubs Poker covers any extra SC required by rounding or the minimum prize; the top-up is not deducted from other players.

Two-player tie example: if two players tie for first with a 1 SC pool, each receives 1 SC. Clubs Poker adds 1 SC, making the displayed reward pool 2 SC.

The displayed reward pool is always the sum of the rounded prizes. It may be higher or lower than the pre-rounding pool, while all tied winners receive identical amounts.

08 / Eligible game categories

Hold’em includes the listed No Limit Hold'em, seven-deuce Hold'em, Fixed Limit Hold'em and No Limit Short Deck Hold'em tables. Omaha includes the listed Omaha, Omaha H/L, 5 card and 6 card variants, with Pot Limit and Fixed Limit entries identified separately.

Hold’em and Omaha each have Low, Mid and High races. A table qualifies for the race listed in the full catalogue below. Match the game, betting format and listed stakes; the same numerical stake pair does not necessarily belong to the same band across formats.

Mixed / Other — All includes the listed Mixed Games, Stud, Stud H/L, Razz, 2-7 Single Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, Badugi, Badeucy and Badacey tables across all listed stakes. Fixed Limit Hold'em and Short Deck Hold'em count toward Hold’em, not Mixed / Other.

Each table contributes to one race. A player's qualifying points from multiple tables within the same race are combined into one daily score, and the player is counted once in that race. Tables listed as Mixed Games contribute to Mixed / Other.

09 / Listed stakes and special table formats

The eligible-table catalogue separates the game, betting format and listed stake pair. Fixed Limit entries retain their listed stakes and assigned race; they are not regrouped using No Limit or Pot Limit blind cutoffs.

Ante tables: Adelphi is in Hold’em Mid at 0.25 SC / 0.5 SC with a 0.25 SC ante. Fontana and Viking are in Omaha High at 2.5 SC / 5 SC and 5 SC / 10 SC respectively. Ante amounts are separate from the displayed stake pair; check the table settings before joining.

The listed Deep Stack, Double Board and seven-deuce tables remain in their assigned races. Cheyenne's Double Board table with 1–3 BB bomb pots is included in Omaha Mid. See the table names below for each specific configuration.

10 / Reward crediting within 24 hours

Eligible players will have their Daily Ring Race rewards credited to their Clubs Poker accounts as Sweeps Coins (SC) within 24 hours after the relevant daily race ends. Rewards are based on the final verified standings and are subject to these promotion terms and the Sweepstakes Rules.

The 24-hour timeframe applies to crediting SC rewards to a player's account, not to completing a prize redemption. SC rewards are not cash payments. Any later prize-redemption request is a separate process, subject to the eligibility, verification and redemption requirements in the Sweepstakes Rules and Terms of Use.

11 / Sweepstakes participation

No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Void where prohibited. Participation is limited to players who meet the eligibility and location requirements in the Sweepstakes Rules and Terms of Use. The Sweepstakes Rules also explain the available no-purchase methods for obtaining Sweeps Coins.
