Imagine you’re playing poker and you’ve got a hand that seems unbeatable, but then someone else at the table pulls out an even better hand and wins. That’s when the “Bad Beat Jackpot” is triggered, rewarding players for experiencing such a tough beat. “Bad Beat Jackpot” is triggered by losing with the following combinations:
Lose with JJJJ or Better
Lose with 6666 or better
Both the winner and the loser must use both hole cards (two hole cards for PLO/PLO-5/PLO-6) to make the best 5-card hand combination.

Hold’em, PLO, PLO-5, PLO-6, Short Deck, and Rush & Cash will share the same jackpot fund, with its sole purpose being the prize pool for Bad Beat Jackpot hits and its payouts.
The jackpot fund will continue to grow by reserving certain amounts from Hold’em, PLO, PLO-5, PLO-6, Short Deck, and Rush & Cash. In other words, your cash prize for hitting the jackpot will always be waiting!
You can check the Bad Beat Jackpot pool live in the Desktop client lobby/tables and the Mobile client lobby.
