Three billion. That's a figure you don't usually come across every day. And when you hear it, it's usually associated with depressing things like public debt or the kilos of plastic floating in the oceans. But that was before. Before the three billionth hand of real money cash games was played on Winamax!
To celebrate the event properly, we're adding a nice counter that will run continuously from the 2,990 millionth hand and make you win big every 100,000 hands. Don't try to count on your fingers: a total of 101 Jackpot Hands will fall on our tables in a few weeks! The best part? Every player participating in the hand will get a share of the pie, depending on the Rake generated on the table. In other words: the longer you play, the bigger the payday! A great way to end the summer in style.
Hands will be counted on the Winamax application in order to help you see the next jackpot coming.
WARNING: only players who are dealt cards on the exact Jackpot hand will be rewarded. Any player sitting-out at the beginning of the hand (a player in the process of rebuying for example) will not receive a jackpot.
If you leave the table and then return, taking a new seat at the table (even just a few minutes later), a new session begins. The Miles earned during the previous session will not be taken into account.

If there are multiple winners in a hand (split pot). The prize per player will be calculated as follows:
Prize per player = (P+(G−P)/N)×√R

Article 5. Distribution of prizes
Jackpot prizes will be credited to the Winamax accounts of the winners within one hour of the Jackpot hand being played, with exception to jackpots over €1,000, which will be credited within 24 hours after the Jackpot Hand.
Article 6. Counting rake at the table
Rake is counted for the current session on the table. If a player leaves the table and comes back to sit down at the table a few minutes later, then a new session will be started. The rake paid in the previous session will not be counted.
In the case of Go Fast or Fight Club, we consider that the session is uninterrupted as long as the player has not left the pool due to their inactivity.

Only players who were dealt cards for the Jackpot hand will be rewarded. Any player absent at the beginning of the hand for whatever reason (players in the progress of rebuying, for example) will not be eligible for a jackpot.
Article 8. Disputes
Winamax can reconsider a hand should a technical incident occur or in case of unavailability of service. Winamax alone determines the numbering of hands.
