The Points Per Day Race

RedKings has made it possible for low volume players to compete in rake races with the Point Per Day Race

Its not about being a big grinder its all about being consistant. You can win in our Point per Day Race by just earning 50, 100 or 300 player points per day. The twist is that you have to do that for at least 13 days during the campaign period of 16th October and 31st October.

Even if you cannot play 13 days, RedKings has added “sprint races” that allow you to stay in the race even going at your own pace!

Collecting Points

There are 2 ways of collecting Race Points; either earn 50,100 or 300 players points per day (maximum 1 race point given per day), depending on the level that you have chosen, or you WIN points from Sprint Races.

Sprint Races

There will be 2 sprint races during the campaign period; Friday the 23rd and 30th of October where the top 20 players who collect most points during that day will receive 5 race points each. No added money will be given for the Sprint Race Points and they only help you to achieve the 13 Race Points.

Therefore if you miss some days during the week, you can get the points needed from the Sprint races.

Prizes
There will be a progressive prize pool for each level:

Level 1:

RedKings will add $1,000 to the prize pool + each time a registered player collects a Race Point, RedKings will add $1 to the prize pool.

Example 1:
If during the campaign all of the registered players will collect for example 380 race points,
RedKings will add $1 for each collected Race point to the Prize pool. So in this case the Prize pool would be the original $1,000 + 380 x $1= $1,380 which will be divided equally among all the players who have managed to collect at least the required 13 race points. The prizes will be paid on top of your possible bonuses and valueback.

Level 2:

RedKings will add $3,000 to the prize pool + each time a registered player collects a Race Point, RedKings will add $2 to the prize pool.

Example 2:
If during the campaign all of the registered players will collect for example 280 race points, RedKings will add $2 for each collected Race point to the Prize pool. So in this case the Prize pool would be the original $3,000 + 280 x $2= $3,560 which will be divided equally among all the players who have managed to collect at least the required 13 race points. The prizes will be paid on top of your possible bonuses and valueback.

Level 3:

RedKings will add $5,000 to the prize pool + each time a registered player collects a Race Point,
RedKings will add $6 to the prize pool.

Example 3:
If during the campaign all of the registered players will collect for example 180 race points, RedKings will add $6 for each collected Race point to the Prize pool. So in this case the Prize pool would be the original $5,000 + 180 x $6= $6,080 which will be divided equally among all the players who have managed to collect at least the required 13 race points. The prizes will be paid on top of your possible bonuses and valueback.

Sign up at RedKings today and get ready to race (at your own pace).
