A month ago, BCPoker significantly reduced its cash game fees: the rake cap at certain stakes was reduced to 70%.
Now it's time for some big news in MTTs: a series with a substantial prize pool of $250,000 has been announced, along with daily freerolls, leaderboards, and cash drops.
World Cup Series
The series, with affordable buy-ins (starting from $1), has already kicked off and will run until July 19. It's adding four daily, low-cost tournaments for $1.50 and $2.50, WC HAT TRICK progressive knockouts for $7, major Be.Champ tournaments, and freerolls to the regular schedule.
The culmination will be the WC Final Main Event, with a guaranteed prize pool of $30,000, which will take place concurrently with the World Championship Final. The buy-in is $50, but you can qualify through satellites starting from $1.

Leaderboard
There will be $42,000 up for grabs on the leaderboard, with five weekly scoring periods.

Points are awarded for active play in cash games and tournaments, as well as for casino and betting activities.
The closer we get to the World Championship final, the larger the prizes and the narrower the prize zone: in the final stage, the top 10 players will compete for $10,000.
World Cup Goal Bonus
Every time a goal is scored at the World Championship, cash drops ($5,000 every 24 hours) will be awarded at all BCPoker cash tables.
Depending on the stakes, players can receive between $0.20 and $20 per goal. Tables participating include Hold'em, PLO, Short Deck, and AoF.
Daily Deposit Streak Bonus
Players who top up their balance receive daily rewards based on their previous transaction history: an instant bonus of 2% of the amount, and a ticket value of $5 to $50.

Exclusive Step Race from GipsyTeam
Until June 17th, all GipsyTeam players can participate in the "Got a Hook!" race on BCPoker. A total of $500 is up for grabs every 10 days.
There are five prizes in total, each awarded to participants who contribute a certain amount of rake during the qualifying period. The more rake you contribute, the more valuable the prize you can win.
You can participate in several or even all of the draws: each level includes all the previous ones. For example, if a player has accumulated $320 in rake, they can compete for $75, $35, and $15.
| Amount of rake | Prize in the drawing |
|---|---|
| 1,000 USD+ | 250 USD |
| 500 USD+ | 125 USD |
| 250 USD+ | 75 USD |
| 100 USD+ | 35 USD |
| 10 USD+ | 15 USD |
Drawings take place after the end of each qualifying period. Prizes are credited to the player's account within a week of the stage's completion.
All accounts created through GipsyTeam participate. The total rake accumulated at any table (cash, spins, and tournaments) is calculated.
