Stake Poker Jackpots

Offered by Stake.

Stake Poker runs four jackpots alongside the cash games. JAQKpot draws a random prize pool multiplier before a three-handed hyper-turbo begins, from 2x up to 20,000x — a $50 buy-in hitting the top multiplier pays $1,000,000. The All in or Fold Jackpot pays a straight flush made with both hole cards from a $500,000 pool. The Bad Beat Jackpot pays $1,000,000 across the table when quads or better lose at showdown. Next! Drops adds random cash straight into the pot at fast-fold tables. All four pay immediately at the end of the hand, and all four are poker-only.

Terms and conditions

Four separate poker promotions run to 31 December 2026. JAQKpot is a three-max hyper-turbo sit-and-go where the prize pool multiplier is drawn at random before the first hand and is final once set, at buy-ins of $0.50, $2, $10 and $50, with every stake able to hit every multiplier. The published frequency table per 10 million games is: 20,000x once, 2,000x ten times, 100x 500 times, 50x 1,000 times, 10x 100,000 times, 5x 898,489 times, 3x 4,267,555 times and 2x 4,732,445 times. Multipliers of 50x and above pay the top three finishers; 2x, 3x and 5x are winner-take-all. Players may run up to four JAQKpots at once. The $500,000 All in or Fold Jackpot pays a player who wins with a straight flush or royal flush on a qualifying AoF table — the hand must go to showdown and the winner must use both hole cards. Each blind level holds a separate pool paying 0.02% at $0.04/$0.08, 0.08% at $0.20/$0.50, 0.38% at $1.00/$2.50 and 1.50% at $4.00/$8.00, funded by a fee taken from each hand. The $1,000,000 Bad Beat Jackpot triggers on quad deuces or better in Hold'em, quad fours in PLO4, quad eights in PLO5 and quad jacks in PLO6, requires showdown, both players using two hole cards, a pocket pair where a four of a kind is involved, and four or more players dealt in. It pays 5.6% to the bad beat winner, 3.5% to the opponent and 2.1% split among other players, funded by 3% of all ring game rake, with separate pools per stake distributing 56.69% at $2.5/$5 down to 0.22% at $0.01/$0.02. Next! Drops adds random cash drops to the pot at Next! six-max fast-fold tables from $0.01/$0.02 to $0.25/$0.50, paying between 3 and 100 big blinds, funded until the $1,000,000 pool is exhausted. Players who leave a table before a jackpot triggers receive nothing.

Our assessment

Four poker jackpots with unusually complete disclosure — JAQKpot publishes a full frequency table over 10 million games from which the rake works out to exactly 7%, and both the Bad Beat and All in or Fold jackpots publish their funding rate and payout split per blind level — but the headline million-dollar figures sit behind odds of 1 in 10 million or better.

Frequently asked questions

What is JAQKpot on Stake Poker?

A three-max hyper-turbo sit-and-go where the prize pool multiplier is drawn at random before the first hand and is final once set. Games start as soon as three players register, and buy-ins run at $0.50, $2, $10 and $50.

What are the odds of the JAQKpot top prize?

One in ten million. Stake publishes the frequency of every multiplier per 10 million games: 20,000x once, 2,000x ten times, 100x 500 times, 50x 1,000 times, 10x 100,000 times, 5x 898,489 times, 3x 4,267,555 times and 2x 4,732,445 times.

What is the rake on a JAQKpot?

Stake does not state it directly, but the published frequency table lets you work it out. Weighting each multiplier by its frequency gives an average prize pool of 2.79x the buy-in. Three players each pay one buy-in, so 3x goes in and 2.79x comes out — a rake of exactly 7%.

How often does a JAQKpot pay more than the buy-in?

98.98% of JAQKpots draw a pool of 5x or less, and 90% draw 2x or 3x. Pools of 50x or more, which are the ones paying all three finishers, occur in 0.015% of games.

How do I win the All in or Fold Jackpot?

Win with a straight flush or royal flush on a qualifying AoF table. The hand must go to showdown and you must use both of your hole cards. Only tables showing the AoF Jackpot icon in the lobby qualify.

What triggers the Bad Beat Jackpot?

Quad deuces or better beaten in Hold'em, quad fours in PLO4, quad eights in PLO5 or quad jacks in PLO6. The hand must reach showdown, both the winner and the loser must use two hole cards, a pocket pair is required where a four of a kind is involved, and at least four players must be dealt in.

How is the Bad Beat Jackpot split?

5.6% to the bad beat winner, meaning the player who lost the pot, 3.5% to the opponent who won the pot, and 2.1% split equally among the other players at the table.

How are the poker jackpots funded?

The Bad Beat Jackpot takes 3% of all ring game rake, with Hold'em and Omaha sharing one fund. The All in or Fold Jackpot takes a fee from each hand, detailed in the Card Room Rules. Next! Drops is funded by Stake until the $1,000,000 pool runs out.

What are Next! Drops?

Random cash drops added directly to the pot at Next! six-max fast-fold tables from $0.01/$0.02 up to $0.25/$0.50. Each drop pays between 3 and 100 big blinds, funded from a $1,000,000 pool.

Do I lose my share if I leave the table?

Yes. Both the Bad Beat and All in or Fold jackpots state that players who leave the table before the jackpot has been triggered receive no payout, and any player dealt into a triggering hand must stay until the hand concludes.

Are these available to casino players?

No. All four are Stake Poker promotions and pay nothing on casino or sportsbook play.
