Having the opportunity to play in one or two $1,000 freeroll tournaments is a pretty nice offer from an online poker room. Having the opportunity to play poker in $100,000 worth of freerolls, and being able to earn $5,000 in cash is an amazing offer! And that’s exactly what Party Poker is offering people through their Snowball promotion in September.

The Snowball promotion has nothing to do with winter, but rather the fact that internet poker players can gain momentum and pick up rewards like a snowball rolling down a hill. From September 1st through the 30th, players can play for as much as $100,000 in freeroll cash, and even earn $5,000 along the way. Due to the huge amount of rewards and cash players can earn in the Snowball promo, this is the perfect time to promote Party Poker through an affiliate program or join the site and start playing.

Players will earn rewards as soon as they get 5 Party Points at the poker tables; this gives people the chance to play in a $5,000 freeroll poker tournament. The first cash prize comes when a player earns their first 500 Party Points in September; this awards players $20 and more freeroll entries.

In all, there are 15 levels that players can move up to earn rewards and they are as follows: 25 points, 50 points, 100 points, 200 points, 500 points, 1,000 points, 2,000 points, 5,000 points, 10,000 points, 15,000 points, 20,000 points, 30,000 points, 40,000 points, and 50,000 points. Anyone who can reach the 15th level, which requires 50,000 Party Points, will get $5,000 in cash along with the $100,000 in freeroll entries.

That’s not all though because players can also 40% in rakeback while playing poker hands during the Snowball promotion. With so many free poker offers on the table, this promo is guaranteed to be huge!

One of the world’s best kept casino poker secrets is the Belgian Open Poker Championships. Last year this live poker tournament offered a €1,138,877 prize pool, and attracted many of Europe’s top poker players including Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Johnny Lodden, and Marcel Luske; Antonio Guida outplayed all of these players as he earned €256,082 for taking first place in the Belgian Open Main Event!

The great thing about all of this is that you can join Europe’s best players in Belgium through the €2,500 prize packages offered at PokerStars. The world’s largest online poker room is currently running qualifiers and satellites for the €2,500 package deals, and people can start playing for their seat now. All one needs to do is complete the poker download of PokerStars.

Once you’re a PokerStars member, you can play poker in satellites ranging from €2.20 to €215. In all, there are three satellite poker games including the €2.20 Daily Rebuy Satellite (1 player moves on to the Weekly Qualifier for every €27 in the prize pool), €27 Weekly Qualifiers (1 player moves on to the Super Satellite for every €215 in the prize pool), and the €215 Super Satellite. Each Super Satellite awards a different amount of Belgian Open seats to online poker players so it all matters what event you play. Here are how many seats are in each event:

  • 7 seats are guaranteed in the September 12th Super Satellite
  • 10 seats are guaranteed in the September 26th International Super Satellite
  • 15 seats are guaranteed in the October 3rd Super Satellite

All of the prize packages cover the €1,700 Main Event buy-in while there will be money left over for the 5-night hotel stay plus eating expenses. In addition to this, you will also get to play for a giant holdem poker prize pool worth well over €1,000,000!

PKR Poker has always been a leader in terms of poker software since they were one of the first sites to offer 3D games. This is a big reason why they’ve become one of the top poker rooms in the world coupled with the fact that they offer 30% rakeback deals. Interestingly enough though, PKR is always striving to become a better online poker room, and they recently proved this on their 4th anniversary.

On their 4th birthday, PKR overhauled the software giving the lobby a completely new look along with advanced features for finding poker games. Besides changing the lobby and making poker tables easier to find, PKR also improved multi-tabling features by enabling players to run as many as nine tables at once. Now PKR Poker is definitely as good as any of the other poker sites when it comes to multi-tabling. And this makes it worth the time to sign up for their affiliate rakeback offers and other online poker deals.

The changes to the software prove that PKR is intent on keeping up with the top online poker sites in terms of service. And they are also trying to keep up with casino poker rooms too as evidenced by the fact that PKR sponsors London’s first official licensed poker club. The Fox Poker Club is already becoming London’s hottest spot to play poker, and the venue is currently preparing for PKR Live V. PKR Live V, which takes place from November 12th to the 14th, is a $500 buy-in poker tournament where the prize pool is already guaranteed to offer $75,000.

The only bad part about PKR Live V is that players can’t look forward to the excellent 30% rakeback offer seen at the online room. But even without the rakeback deal, PKR Live V will no doubt be a huge holdem poker event that should keep growing every year.

Playing at Ultimate Bet Poker is already a great idea since they offer huge tournaments and great online poker deals on a regular basis.  With this being the case, it’s no wonder why so many websites are joining the Ultimate Bet affiliate program.

But now is an even better time to play poker at UB because they are offering $1 million in prizes through their poker tournament leaderboards.  To get started in the leaderboard race where $1 million will be given away through weekly, monthly, and yearly prizes, all you need to do is complete the poker download at UB.  Once you’ve done this, you just need to start playing in tournaments.

As you play in poker games at Ultimate Bet, you will earn points that move you up the leaderboard.  The finish, buy-in, and amount of entrants will all affect how many points you receive by playing in a tournament.  When determining prizes, the weekly competition counts your top 10 finishes, the monthly leaderboard counts the top 20 finishes, and the yearly board counts the top 100 finishes. 

Whoever finishes first on the weekly leaderboard will earn a $1,000 prize.  The first place prize increases quite a bit for the winner of the monthly leaderboard since they earn $6,500.  However, the biggest prizes come on the yearly leaderboard where the first place finisher will not only get $10,000 in cash, but also a $10,000 WSOP prize package.  Even the second place finisher will receive a $10,000 WSOP prize package while the top 10 finishers all get money.

If you love playing holdem poker tournaments, then the UB leaderboards present an excellent opportunity to earn lots of extra cash.  Besides the money you earn in both tournaments and through the leaderboard, you can also earn cash through the 30% rakeback deals that Ultimate Bet offers.

There are plenty of poker players who like mountain climbing and vice versa.  However, no poker enthusiasts have chosen to combine their love of mountain climbing and poker like UK residents Paul Brady and Conor Toner will. 

Both Toner and Brady have announced that they will climb Mt. Snowdon in Wales with the intention of playing poker hands at the top of the mountain.  If you haven’t heard of Mt. Snowdon, it is a 1,085-foot tall mountain in Snowdonia National Park.  So just the climb itself will be quite a feat as Brady and Toner are predicting it will take them several hours to reach the summit.  And if they have enough energy to play their poker tournament at the top, that will be a big bonus.

What’s great about this story is that the two Portsmouth natives and holdem poker players are doing this whole thing for charity.  Toner and Brady’s hope is to raise £10,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care by the time they’re done playing poker games and climbing the mountain.  So with this event being for charity and fun, is there anything wrong with this picture?

Actually there is because Conor Toner and Paul Brady won’t be earning any rakeback through this whole venture, which is a tragedy for any poker player.  Anybody who plays online poker or promotes affiliate rakeback on a regular basis knows that earning rakeback cash is one of the most important things you can do. 

But because of the fact that Toner and Brady are climbing the mountain and playing poker on a snowy mountain top in the name of charity, we’ll forgive them this one time.  Of course, you won’t forgive yourself for continually playing internet poker without signing up for a rakeback deal!
