The core engine is The Beast, ACR’s progressive weekly points race for cash-game players, running from Saturday 00:00 ET through Friday 23:59 ET. It’s funded out of the rake and tracks points by stake levels — not whether you win or lose — so the grinders who stay in action and keep contributing consistently are the ones who rise. Points are earned via a weighted contributed rake method, and the headline math is simple: you earn one point for every $0.02 you contribute toward the race. Cash prizes get paid out on Monday, and the promotion also feeds players with tournament-ticket rewards tied to weekly results — the kind of extra overlay that keeps the chase spicy even if the cards run cold.
Now comes the accelerator: Blitz Beast, a separate weekly rake race built exclusively for Blitz Poker players, with an approximate $30.000 weekly prize pool and a real-time leaderboard that moves fast because the hands move faster. It runs Saturday 12:00am ET through Friday 11:59pm ET, so your week has a clear rhythm: lock in sessions, rack points automatically while you play, and watch your ranking update as you keep firing. The kicker is the “double-dip” potential — Blitz tables don’t count for The Beast, but nothing stops you from grinding both formats across the same week, giving you two parallel routes to payouts depending on where you put your volume. If you like speed and pressure, this is the cleanest way to turn time at the tables into leaderboard equity.
This combo is unmissable because it rewards what serious cash players already do well: table selection, volume discipline, and staying emotionally stable when variance tries to shove you off your A-game. The Beast favors the steady grinders who can keep the machine running all week; Blitz Beast favors the players who thrive in rapid-fire decision loops and can keep their ranges tight under constant action. Put them together and you get a weekly ecosystem where you’re never relying on one heater — you’re stacking points, building position, and giving yourself multiple shots at a payday.
