CoinPoker's CoinRaces pays out $5 million every month through cash game leaderboards that reset throughout the day. Micro races run for one hour, while Low, Mid and High stakes use two-hour windows.
There is no separate opt-in. Eligible real-money cash game play counts automatically, with one leaderboard for Texas Hold'em and another covering PLO, PLO5 and PLO6.
CoinRaces Leaderboards Reset Every One or Two Hours
Micro stakes use one-hour leaderboard windows. Low, Mid and High stakes run for two hours, with a new leaderboard starting when each window ends.
Both the NLHE and PLO leaderboards are split into four stake groups, each with its own prize pool.
Micro
- $0.01/$0.02
- $0.02/$0.05
Low
- $0.05/$0.10
- $0.10/$0.25
- $0.25/$0.50
Mid
- $0.50/$1
- $1/$2
- $2/$5
High
- $5/$10
- $10/$20
- $25/$50
All CoinRaces schedule times are listed in UTC.

How Are CoinRaces Prizes Calculated?
CoinRaces does not assign a fixed prize to every finishing position. Instead, the prize pool for each leaderboard window is divided proportionally among players who finish in paid positions, based on their share of the rake generated by those players.
CoinPoker gives a $0.25/$0.50 Texas Hold'em example.
A player finishes among the top 250 in a leaderboard with a $1,250 prize pool. If that player generated 20% of the total rake produced by those 250 players, the CoinRaces prize would be $250.
The $250 figure applies to that example. Actual payouts depend on the leaderboard prize pool and each qualifying player's share of the relevant rake.
How to Check Your CoinRaces Rank
CoinRaces rankings update during play and can be checked directly in the CoinPoker app.
On Windows or Mac, open the menu beside your username, select Leaderboards, then choose NLH or PLO and filter by Micro, Low, Mid or High.
On Android or iOS, open the username menu and select Cash Leaderboards, then choose the game and stake category.
While playing, the star and podium icon at the table also opens the current leaderboard and shows your rank.
When Are CoinRaces Prizes Paid?
CoinPoker says prizes are credited to the player's account balance a few minutes after each one-hour or two-hour leaderboard ends.
Once credited, the prize can be used in CoinPoker games or withdrawn.
