Spartan Poker Bad Beat Jackpot Rules
A Bad Beat Jackpot is a progressive type of jackpot that is often attached to one specific poker game, the idea behind this jackpot is that if one of the strongest poker hands available gets beaten by an even stronger one such as four Aces getting beaten by a Royal Flush at a live poker table, then the player who lost out to the Royal Flush hand, and occasionally every other players involved.
SwC Poker is proud to announce our Bad Beat Jackpot. Win big when you lose with Aces full of Kings or better in a qualifying situation:
- The Bad Beat Jackpot is in play on all Jackpot tables when at least 4 players are dealt into the hand.

- A qualifying Full House or Straight Flush must play both hole cards.
- A qualifying Four of a Kind must play a pocket pair.
The Bad Beat Jackpot can be won at our BBJ Hold'em tables, noted by the yellow background color and “Jackpot” table name. The rake taken in qualifying BBJ hands is 25% higher than our regular tables. This extra portion is contributed to the bitcoin poker jackpot.

- 35% to the loser of the hand
- 20% to the winner of the hand
- 15% shared between all other players dealt into the hand

A Bad Beat Jackpot will be paid out if a minimum of Full House loses to Quads.
Many places with a bad beat jackpot require both the winning and losing hands to use both of their hole cards. Fight Club Poker uses relaxed hand requirements so that the Bad Beat Jackpot is paid out more often. Quads is the only hand that must use both of their hole cards. Also, quads must have pocket pair. All other qualifying hands (Straight flush winning and losing hands, and full house losing hands,) need only use one hole card.
If there are multiple full house hands that lose to Quads on the jackpot hand, the high ranking full house wins the Bad Beat Jackpot.
