was playing in a 5-card draw ring game on pokertime and drew a royal flush and won against 4 of a kind. why is it that the bad beat JP is only given in the texas holdem games and not all games that the poker site offers.

Some places only take money from a pot from hold'em.

Also, it is generally easier to hit a bigger hand and thus the bad beat in omaha as you have more cards, more backdoors, and odds to stick around longer.

Well your lucky that it gives it at all in that site, cause most sights don't
give anything but a congradulations! Lol, but there is a solid reason
why that one only applies to holdem. It is a looottt harder to get a royal
flush on holdem, than any other poker! Omaha for instance has much
bigger chances, since you get 4 cards instead of 2... The odds are so small
for you in holdem, and well thats why they give it for holdem, cause if
they were to give it to all of the poker games they would actually be giving
out the prise quite often... free money.

Not all the sites give prizes on bad beat or royal flush hands.
And it is harder to get royal flush or straight flush against 4 of a kind in holdem because you have less cards to play with.
Most of the sites that gives bad beat prize are want you to use both hole cards to win the jackpot.
