Nobody likes losing a big poker hand, but at TigerGaming, that sting could turn into something worth celebrating.
The site’s new Bad Beat Jackpot Supercharged feature gives players the chance to turn a crushing loss into a massive win, not just for themselves, but for everyone playing at the same stake level.
How It Works
If your strong hand gets beaten by an even stronger one during a cash game, you trigger the Bad Beat Jackpot. That means the player who loses, the one who wins, and every other player sitting at a Bad Beat Jackpot table at that stake level all get a share of the pot. In short, everyone wins when someone loses big.
“Bad Beat” refers to those rare hands that seem impossible to lose—like a full house of aces getting beaten by four of a kind. TigerGaming has set up unique jackpot tiers for both No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha, depending on the table stakes.
For example, in No Limit Hold’em:
- $0.05/$0.10: Full House, Aces Full of Queens (AAAQQ)
- $1/$2: Full House, Aces Full of Jacks (AAAJJ)
- $5/$10: Full House, Aces Full of Jacks (AAAJJ)
And for Omaha:
- $0.05/$0.10–$0.25/$0.50: Four of a Kind Tens (TTTT)
- $2/$5–$5/$10: Four of a Kind Sixes (6666)
When the jackpot hits, payouts are split across several groups:
- 20% to the unlucky player with the Bad Beat
- 10% to the winner of the hand
- 10% shared among other players at that table
- 20% to players at other active Bad Beat tables
- 35% goes back into the reseed pool
- 5% is reserved as a fee
There’s also a limited-time payout table for $5/$10 Hold’em, where TigerGaming has increased the reseed rate to an impressive 93%, ensuring future jackpots grow even faster.
The latest update introduces Supercharged Jackpots, now live at NL1000 ($5/$10) tables. The entry requirements have been lowered, making jackpots trigger more often and giving players more chances to score big.
On top of that, TigerGaming is offering new missions and contests tied to the Bad Beat Jackpot, adding even more ways to win. You can find all the details in the Missions/Contests lobby.
