Poker Sites Updates September 02, 2010
Online poker sites constantly have new promotions, tournaments and bonuses on offer to their players. At PokerSites.com you will find a wealth of information to help you choose the best poker site to play at. Below is a weekly roundup of the latest news and promotions from each of the best poker sites.
- Have you claimed the head of a Team Titan pro yet? There will be three Bounty Tournaments running during September where knocking out a Team Titan member gains you a $100 bounty prize. Buy-in for just $5+$1 and win the tournament to get a $500 bonus added to your prize money. But even better than the money, you get to brag about how you scalped a pro.
- Sorel Mizzi, a Team Titan Pro, has been hit by cheating allegations. According to sources, there is a purported chat transcript which shows Mizzi discussing the possibility of using specific software to rig MTTs. These new allegations can only harm Mizzi’s career further after the Full Tilt scandal in 2007 which saw him take over a friend’s account during a tournament, resulting in a forfeit for his friend. He has denied the current allegations, claiming he is the victim of an extortion attempt.
- Whether you are a green entry level player or a high rolling platinum pro, Sportsbook Poker has a VIP program built just for you. Exchange your VIP points for cash, get invites to exclusive member only freerolls and be tempted by fantastic monthly reload bonuses. You’ve never felt more special than at Sportsbook Poker.
- It happens to the best of us. You get your chips into the middle and your opponent flips over a terrible hand. Your heart leaps as you realize he only has two outs. You start dancing at the table, thinking about how you are going to spend the juicy pot you just won. And then you drown on the river as he hits a lucky card. Before you rip out your hair, your opponent may have done you a favor. PlayersOnly Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot means that if you lose a hand holding Quad 7s or better, you could find yourself winning a big, fat cash prize that will have you dancing once again.
- You’re stuck at the office, but dying for a little poker action. Normally, you’d have to watch the hours crawl by as you wait to get home. But with Bodog Poker’s Instant Play, you can play poker anywhere you can load up an internet browser. There is nothing to download, so there is no need to worry about installing software, and you can even play with a Mac. Get your poker fix anytime, anywhere.
- You don’t have to be a high roller to enjoy a great poker tournament. With William Hill’s Super Series, there is a cash added tournament taking place every day of the week. With buy-ins either £5+£0.50 or £10+£1, these are affordable tournaments with a great incentive to hit the felt. And, with a tournament every night, it almost feels like Christmas already.
- As we edge into September, we reach the last few weeks where you can take a shot at winning a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 worth $200,000. And if getting your paws on a work of art like the Gallardo was not enough, there is also $1,000,000 up for grabs along the way. So what are you waiting for? Dealer, deal me a supercar if you please…
- Fancy playing some poker in the Land of Oz? PokerStars are offering the chance to win a seat at the Adelaide Casino Poker Championship. Online qualifiers are currently running and have buy-ins as low as $3.80. Considering there is an AUD$1,500 prize package on the line, you are getting fair dinkum value.
- PokerStars has finally made an official comment about the Negreanu and Duke issue, coming out in favor of Negreanu following his derogatory comments. Apparently, Negreanu thought he was talking off the record and Duke has fired another shot across PokerStars’ bows with an open letter to the site. Where will it end?
- Did you miss out FTOPS? Perhaps the big buy-ins left a dent in your bankroll? Good news is at hand, because Mini FTOPs is about to begin on September 8. This fantastic series features the same events as its bigger brother, but at 1/10 of the buy-in. And there are satellites running now to win a seat at a Mini FTOPS event for as little as $0.50. Remember, good things come in small packages…
- Winner Poker is making a big deal out of September with their Big Deal promotion that lets players transform points into cash at fantastic rates. The Poker Points you earn during September can be converted to cash, allowing you to get more green for your grind. Remember, once this offer ends, your points will revert to the normal conversion rates, so get gathering them now.
- The snowball has started rolling. During September PartyPoker is offering players the chance to win up to $5,000 in cash and $100,000 in freeroll entries as you earn points to win prizes. Simply play in real money poker tables during September and start racking up those points to watch your snowball grow.
- Satellites are running until September 12 for the Drive the Dream promotion that will see one lucky winner drive off with an Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. The sub-qualifier tournaments are freerolls, meaning you get the chance to turn thin air into a lean, mean driving machine.
- Party Gaming, who run PartyPoker, have announced a merger with Bwin that will see the companies form a gambling powerhouse with an estimated net worth of $4 billion. The merger should occur in 2011.
- 888 Poker are rolling out a red carpet to new depositors, with $4,500 in new depositor freerolls to really make you feel like a VIP. By making your first deposit you gain access to seven $500 freerolls, as well as an entry in to the $1,000 Depositors’ Freeroll. Now how is that for some freerolling fun?
- 888 Poker has suffered a 25% drop in revenue for the first half of 2010. However, with the launch of its new poker client, a new loyalty store and a license to operate in France, it expects to see its revenues grow throughout the next half of this year.
- CarbonPoker has gone down with football fever. Earn Touchdown VIP points during September to win cash prizes as you drive up the field. And if you score a "touchdown" by pushing through the three drives, you will even unlock a bonus game where you can win additional cash by kicking a conversion. Don’t miss out on your chance to get in on this Gridiron Grind.
