Weekly Cash Game King at BetKings: $250,000 Prize Pool

The essentials: BetKings runs an ongoing cash game loyalty program with no end date. Every week, $250,000 is distributed among the players with the most points, calculated from daily leaderboards by game type and blind level. Prizes are paid in C$ Cash Game Dollars.

If you've been grinding cash games for weeks and feel like rakeback is the only thing you get back for your time at the tables, there's something else running in parallel at BetKings: $250,000 in real money split every week among the most active players, no opt-in, no weird fine print — just for sitting down and playing. Here's how the point system works, what the weekly payouts look like, and what to check before assuming your winnings withdraw like straight cash.

What Weekly Cash Game King Is

Weekly Cash Game King is BetKings' recurring loyalty program poker players keep coming back to, built for cash game grinders who want more than just their rake back. It isn't a one-off tournament — it's a standing weekly race with no closing date, in which any cash game player automatically competes on the BetKings cash game leaderboard for a share of the $250,000 total prize pool the room offers each week, according to official BetKings figures.

How it works

According to BetKings' own site, "Weekly Cash Game King points obtained in the daily leaderboard are automatically reflected in the weekly leaderboard." In practice, there's no sign-up button you can forget to click — just play cash games. Each day, your results generate points on a daily leaderboard segmented by game type (Hold'em, Omaha, etc.) and blind level, and those points roll automatically into your weekly total.

Key fact: Points are awarded based on your daily leaderboard rank within each stake level — not simply on hands played in isolation.

Tiers, payouts and frequency

Daily points are assigned according to your rank within each blind level — higher stakes climb faster, but even at micros there's a real prize waiting. A sample of the points table:

Those accumulated weekly points determine your place on the overall prize table:

Available research on this promotion suggests the payout ladder continues below the 250th spot, with smaller amounts down to hundreds of paid positions — though a full breakdown of those final tiers isn't available here.

Conditions

• ◆Prizes are paid in C$ Cash Game Dollars, not as unrestricted real-money cash.
• ◆Prizes are awarded up to 24 hours after the end of the leaderboard.
• ◆In case of a tie, the player who reached that point total first gets the higher rank.
• ◆Minimum age depends on jurisdiction: 18+, 19+, 21+ or 24+.

Heads up: Because prizes come as C$ rather than plain cash, it's worth checking the room's terms on that balance before assuming it withdraws just like a deposit.

AI Points

If you play at BetKings through PokerDealsAI, the rake you generate at the cash tables feeding this leaderboard can also earn AI Points, an additional benefit that stacks alongside your rakeback and Weekly Cash Game King prizes — without replacing or reducing either one.
