Winning Poker Network changes The Beast rake race...again

In 2019, grinders battled for the top spots in The Beast rake race because it represented a massive rakeback boost for their efforts. Unfortunately, in February 2020, the payout structure was changed, and the rewards were slashed by half. Now a new change will be enforced tomorrow.

The Beast: from $2,500 to $500 reward

Today August 14, 2020, the following message was shared across Americas Cardroom social networks:

"Big changes are coming to The Beast this Saturday!

We've already been paying more players than ever before, and now we're rewarding even more poker lovers for grinding hard. With our new structure, twice as many Beast players will get paid."

Last year, The Beast rewarded about 400 players, and in February, the structure was changed to double the number of prizes but slashing the payouts by half.

The Beast	2019	February 2020	August 2020
Tier 1	$2.500	$1.250	$500
Tier 2	$1.000	$500	$250
Tier 3	$250	$125	$125
Tier 4	$100	$50	$50

With today's announcement, The Beast will pass from paying out 800 players to 1,600, and of course, the top grinders will be the most affected as they will receive 60% less.

In short, heavy grinders won't see The Beast as a profitable promotion, as it will reward only 20% compared to last year's structure.

Winning Poker Network has introduced these changes as a measure to encourage all players to fight for a prize in The Beast. Although the number of paid positions has indeed increased by 400% since the first modification, the players who rake more are the most affected.

In the coming weeks we'll be checking the traffic on WPN to see how these changes affect the games and The Beast prize pool, which usually exceeds $120k.
