Poker Nordica also has minimal entry fees into satellites to play for entry to live tournaments such as the Poker News Cup.
Lastly and maybe the best is Nordicas bad beat jackpot where even if you are the losing hand you still have a chance of big bickies, in fact bigger bickies than if you had have won. You only have to be holding 1 hole card to make the hand, winning or losing with Nordica unlike some other sites. Nordica however has the rule where you must be beaten with quad 9's or above. Payouts for their jackpot is as follows:
- 35% to the looser
- 17,5% to the player with the winning hand
- 17,5% to the other players who had cards dealt in the round
- 20% to start the jackpot again
- 10% goes to the poker rooms on the network
