NoiQ Poker has always been well known for its generous promotions with outstanding $1M races once on offer. Once part of the iPoker Network, NoiQ Poker's home base is now the Entraction Network (exB2B Network). Although the Entraction Network has less traffic (with an average of 1540 players compared to 4600 at iPoker), NoiQ Poker has a well-known reputation to offer the best they can, even though it is on a smaller network.

24h Poker is not unknown either, being one of the largest poker sites on the Entraction Network. With 24h Poker and NoiQ Poker united by the same network, they have now joined forces to offer this exclusive race for their players.

Started on the 1st February, this promotion has now been running for the past two weeks and the team at Rakerace.com has collected and analyzed the data to show you what it is worth.

The results from the past two weeks will be used to calculate how much players got back over that period and will also enable us to predict rough returns for the whole month.

With halfway through the promotion already, the Main Race shows to provide an outstanding return for players. 

Nedfryst being the current leader with a total of 15483 VIP Points, was able to collect 1935 Points per day. This means that Nedrfyst paid a daily rake of €968.

If Nedrfyst continues to play with consistency over the next half of the promotion, he will have generated €15,483 rake by the end of the month. On top of that,  he will be able to obtain a huge 97% total cashback, including the €8,000 first prize and highest possible 45% rakeback.

TTayseer2, currently standing at the 171st position on the leaderboard, with a total of 1436 VIP Points, was able to achieve 180 Points per day.

If TTayseer2 continues his play, he will make himself a nice 38% total cashback, including the €50 prize and 35% rakeback.

On average, if we look at all the data over the first half of the month, we can see that the average player did not do too bad. Having collected 3384 VIP Points so far, the average player achieves 423 Points per day.

This means the player will have a total estimated rake of €3,384, which will provide him with around 53% total cashback, including a €600 prize and 35% rakeback.

All future calculations on weekend tables assume players continue play during weekdays as well.

Winners Cashback Table

The Winners Daily Performance Table is an overview of the players who took the first place in the three events, comparing the daily rake generated and VIP Points accumulated. Both Weekend Races are now over, but the Main Race is still running.

Both Weekend Races’ winners accumulated more rake during the race period than the Main Race leader. This tells us that weekend players seem to be more fierce.


Winners Cashback Percentages

The Winners Cashback Percentages Table shows us the percentages of cashback that the winners of each event were able to achieve. These results are considerably higher than the average. 4bet_bluff from Weekend Race 1 was able to obtain the highest return with an impressive 110% cashback.

Average cashback

Our Average Table uses data from all the players that participated in the race, giving an indication of how much an average player achieved.

From the data collected we can still see that even the average player on Weekend Races has a stronger play. The Main Race is all about stamina, whereas the Weekend Races are about collecting as many points as possible in the shortest time.

Return was still higher in the Main race, but the Weekend Races provide up to €2000 reward within two days.

If a player shows the ability to collect a minimum of 400 VIP Points per day, he is almost guaranteed to secure a payout place within the leaderboard.

Average Cashback Percentages


The Average Cashback Percentages Table indicates the amount of cashback an average player was able to achiieve in the three events and also includes PokerHeaven and Paradise Poker's February rake race. From the data we can see that NoiQ and 24h Poker still offer the best return, achieveing the highest average of 61%. Comparing this to PokerHeaven and Paradise Poker's 37%, I know where I will be playing :-)


Conclusion

NoiQ Poker combined with 24h Poker has not let down its followers in this promotion, keeping up its well-known reputation of giving back big and this is a great example of a rake race truly worth a go.

With most players achieveing around 60% total cashback return and even up to 102%, this promotion is a must for every player who enjoys rake races.

If we also take into consideration the other promotions available, such as:

•    The 30k double AA promo rewarding lucky cash players (if you get dealt AA in two consecutive hands, your reward will be 500 times the Big Blind, up to €1000)
•    25k triple AA promo (if you get AA three times consecutively, you will recieve the €25,000 grand prize)
•    The €40k February Endurance Promo

it is obvious that there has never been a better time to play at NoiQ Poker.

Make sure you don’t miss out!
