Check out this week's three promos to watch

The number of online poker promotions continues to increase as site attempt to gain the business of poker players currently locked down in their respective countries due to the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.

This is obviously good for you, as a poker player, but sifting through the various promotions is time-consuming. You could spend that search time playing poker and adding some value to that playtime. Luckily for you, we’ve gone through the current crop of online poker promotions and selected three you should get your teeth into sooner rather than later.

Win Big with GGPoker’s Jackpot Hands

GGPoker’s cash games are already steeped in value thanks to the soft player pools and the Fish Buffet loyalty program, but did you know you can also receive a jackpot for making strong hands?

There are jackpots awarded for making poker’s strongest hands at the Hold’em, Omaha, Short Deck, All-In or Fold, and All-In or Fold Bingo cash game tables.

Most of you play Hold’em or Omaha so we’ll quickly highlight those promotions, but you can read about the rest of them here.

100% rakeback? Yes, really.

Winning the Hold’em or Omaha jackpot is simple. All that’s required is you commit at least 15 big blinds to the pot before you make your jackpot hand, and make that jackpot hand using two hole cards. Jackpot hands for Hold’em and Omaha are four of a kind (you need a pocket pair in the hole), a straight flush and, of course, a Royal Flush.

These big hands are easier to make in Omaha than Hold’em so the amount of jackpot you win is half of that at Hold’em tables, but it’s still possible to win a big prize.

Jackpot Hand	Hold’em	Omaha
Royal Flush	50%	25%
Straight Flush	20%	10%
Four of a kind	5%	2.50%

It’s a fun promotion that gives you a sweat each time you have the chance to make poker’s strongest hands. Read more about the GGPoker Jackpot Hand promotion here.

Don’t Miss Your Chance of a Free Unibet Prize

Time’s running out to get your hands on a free prize from the Unibet Poker €90,000 Anniversary Prize Drop. This promotion concludes on April 5th, so you still have some time to try and win a free prize.

Ongoing partypoker Promo Aimed at Lower Volume Players

Many online poker promotions revolve around playing a lot of poker as they’re aimed at higher volume players. Not everyone has a.) the ability to play a lot of poker or b.) the inclination to get their grind on. If either of those describes you, keep reading.

The partypoker Wheel is a weekly promotion designed with lower volume players in mind. All partypoker players receive up to 40% cashback on their play each week. They must generate at least 25 points in a calendar week to receive the first tier of cashback.

This equates to $25 of rake, tournament fees, or a combination of the two. Players who miss out on cashback can receive up to five spins on the partypoker Wheel, with each spin guaranteeing a prize. It’s a great idea, in our opinion.

Earn five to 9.99 points to receive one free spins. Two spins are tours if you earn 10 to 19.99 points during the week. Narrowly miss out on cashback by generating 20 to 24.99 points to receive five spins. These are the pries those spins can yield.
