The Definition of a Bad Beat Jackpot according to
Wikipedia is the following:
A bad beat jackpot is a prize that is paid when a
sufficiently strong hand is shown down and loses to an even stronger hand held
by another player.
Not all poker games offer bad beat jackpots, and those that do have
specific requirements for how strong a losing hand must be to qualify for the
jackpot.
For example, the losing hand may be required to be four-of-a-kind or
better. There may be additional requirements as well. For example, in Texas hold
'em there is usually a requirement that both hole cards play in both the losing
and winning hands.
Bad beat jackpots are usually progressive, often with a small rake being
taken out of each pot to fund the jackpot (in addition to the regular rake).
When a jackpot is won, it is usually split among all players sitting at
the table at the time of the bad beat with the losing hand getting the largest
share.
The following rules apply to the Bad Beat Jackpot at

Four or more Players must be dealt into the hand.
The losing hand must be Four-of-a-Kind - 8's or better.
