The Everleaf online poker network will welcome a new Malta-licensed site on January 16 when No Bad Beat Poker launches with the beta version of its namesake and a patented game concept titled No Bad Beats Poker.
The operator claims that the concept is a revolutionary new feature in online poker designed to protect players from bad beats, suck outs, and bad luck, and is an evolution in online poker to boot.
Company spokesman Aaron Walker claims: "We aim to eliminate bad beats in poker, which studies have shown are the greatest frustration of poker players today.
"When playing popular poker games like Texas Hold'em featuring No Bad Beats Poker, you'll get your money back if you take a bad beat!"
Bad beats happen when a player gets all of his or her money in with a superior hand, and then an opponent catches the miracle cards needed to beat it. Major online poker sites have for some time run bad beat promos to ease the pain, but Walker claims his company's approach is novel.
"Poker is a competitive game of skill and strategy. With the release of No Bad Beats Poker, we offer both competitive players and frustrated players alike an alternative to maddening bad beats in standard poker," Walker said this week.
No Bad Beats Poker works by tracking the win chance percentage of each player, similar to those displayed during televised poker tournaments. If an unlucky player loses despite having a high enough win percentage, they'll qualify for a bad beat in All-In situations.
Players will receive their entire wager back if they take a qualifying bad beat effectively overturning the bad beat. In order to qualify for a bad beat in a pot, players must satisfy the following conditions:
1. You must be playing at a No Bad Beats Poker table or tournament
2. At least one player in the pot must make an all-in bet
3. At the time of the all-in wager, your equity percentage in the pot must be greater than the Bad Beat Cutoff Percentage posted in the table description
4. You cannot fold at any point in the hand
5. You must lose a contested pot
