Beginning on January 1st, 2009, Ladbrokespoker.com will give away $4,000,000 in the largest Rake Races series ever held by the online poker room. The special Rake Race series will run for four months and will pay a total of $1,000,000 to the top 3,000 finishers, including a $25.000 first prize for the each series winner. According to Ladbrokes Poker pay chart, places from 2 to 5 will get a $10,000 prize; places from 6 to 10 will get $5,000; while all top 50 finishers are guaranteed a minimum $2,000 and the remaining places from 51 to 3,000th are guaranteed $100.

"Our players are getting a great deal, definitely more bang for their buck and following the aftermath of the Xmas period when cash-flow can be a bit tight it couldn't be better timed. More players will benefit with cash prizes equal to, if not greater than what they received before. Points will be cleared on a monthly basis so there are four shots at claiming the big money giveaways." said Edward Ihre, Ladbrokes Poker MD in a statement released by the poker site.

In addition, LadbrokesPoker has guaranteed to double the difference to VIP players who get less that what they would have received under the old Rake Back promotion. For more information on the Rake Race Series and other promotions available, visit LadbrokesPoker.com.
