In today's report we are going to take a look at the best races running in May, from Rakerace.com's newest partner room and the great offers of the iPoker network to the best rooms in the smaller networks!


1. Europe-bet - Rakerace.com's new partner room

Europe-bet is a Georgian poker room launched in 2010, they started an international expansion in 2014, for example they struck a partnership deal with the World Poker Tour, becoming the official partner of WPT Georgia.

Rakerace.com players have a great opportunity to qualify for the tournament, as the winner of the $5,000 pooled cash race will receive a WPT Georgia package valued at $2,000!


Europe-bet works as a standalone room, according to PokerScout, cash game traffic is similar to that of the Chico network and Unibet and the software and available games have a 9,1/10 user rating on the site.

The field is mostly composed of Georgian players, the skill level of the players is years behind compared to the bigger European rooms.

Play in the room commences in Georgian Lari (GEL) currency, and players registered through Rakerace.com are eligible for a 100% max 1.000 GEL (~$430) and can get additional returns of up to 35% with the Europe-bet loyalty system.

Europe-bet is a great choice for players who don't mind the unusual currency and software in order to play in a field which is years behind on the learning curve.

2. Exclusive iPoker races - High returns for both small and high volume players

The iPoker network has something for everyone regardless of the amount of generated rake!

In April the biggest returns in the network could be achieved at MyBet. MyBet organized two $2,500 exclusive cash races in April, participating received an average raceback of 84% and 90% (based on Source Based Rake numbers).

Players registered through Rakerace.com are also eligible for the 200% max $1,000 first deposit bonus and can achieve additional returns of up to 50% with the MyBet Poker VIP program. The paying spots on the race leaderboards could be reached with just $22 and $26 in rake, so the room is an ideal choice for players who don't have a lot of time to play.


For players, who generate $100-$1500 rake in a month, Betfair and PaddyPower Poker are great choices.

Betfair ran two $2,500 exclusive cash races, players received an average raceback of 54% and 42%, and the top 3 spots on the race leaderboard could be reached with £310 in rake.

3. Unibet, TigerGaming and Intertops

In these races the number of participants is usually low, so these are great choices for players who want to achieve the best returns for their low volume play.

In the April Unibet races players achieved an average raceback of 23%/28%, and for Rakerace.com players, the total returns can be increased with the fix €500 deposit bonus (25% return) and the Unibet Poker loyalty program (up to 41% returns).
