PartyPoker Cash Machine
February 15, 2025
PartyPoker’s latest promotion lets you convert your Party Points into hard cash… and it’s programmed to pay out unlimited amounts of money to PartyPoker players.
The Cash Machine promotion started on the February 1st and ends on February 28th. To get your unlimited cash reward, just earn 10 or more PartyPoints on at least 10 days during the promotion. At the end of the promotion, PartyPoker will look at the PartyPoints you collected on your 10 highest-earning days, then match the number of points you accumulated on the lowest of those days with a cash reward of $1 for every point earned.
Every new day of the promotion, PartyPoker gives you the chance to top your current lowest total and increase your cash prize. Keep playing to make sure you earn more.
How it works – If you earn the following points on your 10 highest-earning days:
- Days one to three: 100 points per day
- Days four to seven: 175 points per day
- Days eight to ten: 150 points per day
Your lowest daily points total in this period is 100, which means PartyPoker will put a $100 cash reward directly into your Party Account.
Remember, you can have up to 28 qualifying days and your cash machine bonus is only limited by the number of points you earn: if your lowest day’s points total is 1,000 points, PartyPoker will give you $1,000. What you win is up to you.
The minimum payout from the Cash Machine is $10. But don’t worry if you don’t earn enough points to qualify for a cash bonus after playing for at least 10 days because PartyPoker will give you a seat in their $25,000 Cash Machine freeroll, which takes place at 12:00 ET on Saturday, 3rd October.
In order to take part in the PartyPoker Cash Machine you must opt-in to the promotion. Players can opt in at any time during the promotion – but you must opt-in.
- PartyPoker will pay your money into your player account on February 29th.
- Players who have 10 qualifying days but fail to achieve the $10 minimum bonus will be entered into a $25,000 freeroll
- The freeroll will take place at 12:00 ET on Saturday February 3rd.
Visit PartyPoker to opt-in to the PartyPoker Cash Machine.
