Full Tilt Poker Offers all Players $50 Free

NewPokerPromotions — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:36:29 +0000

Full Tilt Poker’s newest invention, rush poker, has been a huge hit and to celebrate Full Tilt is giving all current players a free $50 bonus as long as you log into Full Tilt Poker and opt in before 11:59pm on March 14th! This bonus will immediately be added to your pending bonus account, which you can clear by playing games at Full Tilt Poker. In fact, rush poker is the perfect way to clear the bonus quickly.

What is Rush Poker?

Rush Poker is the new cash game style that Full Tilt created, which allows players to constantly be in a hand. Rush Poker is the way poker was meant to be played.

Every player at a certain limit is placed into a giant group that is constantly matching players into hands when they are not involved in a hand. This means that when you fold your hand you will automatically be moved to a new table with new players and begin a new hand. Whichever player at the new table has gone the longest without placing a blind becomes the new big blind.

The game is great! If you aren’t a player at Full Tilt yet, you should definitely sign up using Full Tilt Poker referral code THEFULLTILT and try out the game. If you complete your normal sign up bonus by March 12th you can even get the extra $50 bonus being given to everyone!

Full Tilt Big Thumbs Up

Full Tilt is definitely moving up in the poker world and this new Rush Poker cash game variation combined with the free $50 to show they care for players could be what they need to catch PokerStars in the online poker industry. Only time will tell. Until then I’m going to be clearing my free $50 bonus at Full Tilt Poker!

Another page outlines the easiest to beat poker rooms with Aced.com being the highest recommended on this page. From my experience there are definitely plenty of fish swimming around at Aced.

Full Tilt Poker’s Little Big Tournament

NewPokerPromotions — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:04:12 +0000

Full Tilt Poker has announced that they will be adding four $250,000 tournaments to their January tournament schedule. The great thing about these tourneys is that the buy-in is only $5 + $0.50. The tournaments will take place on the first four Sundays of January at 1:45pm EST each week. These small risk, huge reward tournaments are great for players with small online poker bankrolls who want to take a stab at instant riches.

There are even satellites into these tournaments for players who only have a couple of bucks left in their Full Tilt accounts. These satellite tourneys range from 150 FTP’s to $1.50 tournaments.

These tournaments are only $5 + $0.50 so there is no reason not to give yourself the shot at a big score to start off the new year. For players with rakeback accounts the fee is even less because you will be receiving 27% of that $0.50 back. These little big tournaments are going to be a ton of fun and they will be some of the largest tournaments ever held online. Just to account for the guaranteed prize pool, 50,000 players must enter each of these four tournaments. With that many players there is definitely some big money to be won for the top 1000 or so players!

Sundays are lazy days anyways so if you are bored you might as well try to turn $5 into a small fortune during your afternoon! Small risk, huge rewards! That’s what Full Tilt’s little big tournaments are all about.

Full Tilt Poker Aussie Millions Qualifiers

NewPokerPromotions — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:04:27 +0000

Full Tilt Poker has recently announced the Aussie Millions poker qualifier schedule as well as the prize package that everyone will be drooling over. The prize package is worth the equivalent of $14,500 US and includes not only the AUD $10,500 main event entry, but also an 11 nights stay at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, $1200 in travelling expenses, a $50,000 live freeroll and entry to various Full Tilt events including meeting many members of team Full Tilt.

You can try to win your $14.5K prize package every week at Full Tilt Poker until the final tournament on January 9th. Each qualifier has a buy-in of $500 + $50. Of course there are a ton of satellites into each of these qualifiers, which means no matter how big your bankroll is you can take a stab at playing in the Aussie Millions. Every week at least 1 prize package is guaranteed, with 2 being guaranteed every other week. The final tournament on January 9th will have 5 guaranteed prize packages.

Full Tilt Poker is definitely the best poker room online if you are looking to qualify for the Aussie Millions this year. If you don’t have a Full Tilt account yet, make sure you sign up for a Full Tilt Poker rakeback account. This means you would receive 27% rakeback from Full Tilt. For example, if you have a rakeback account you would receive $13.50 back from the $50 qualifier tournament fee. This adds up over time. Get your Full Tilt rakeback account now!

Cool Hand Poker is Targetting Casual Players

NewPokerPromotions — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:38:50 +0000

Do you find there to be too many sharks and poker professionals on the main poker websites such as Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars? Do you just want to play poker casually and occassionally have a winning session? Are you tired of seeing your bankroll decrease too quickly because you can’t seem to win against all of the poker sharks that infest the waters of the big poker sites?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Cool Hand Poker may be the poker room for you.

Cool Hand Poker is a new room that is taking a different approach to building a player base. Cool Hand is telling the poker sharks and professionals to stay away and inviting the less experienced players who play simply for the enjoyment to come and try their luck playing other average players.

You might wonder how Cool Hand Poker can keep the sharks and poker professionals away from their site. Well the truth is they can’t guarantee that no poker professionals will be playing at their site, however they have done plenty to deter these sharks from bothering with their smaller poker room.

First of all, at Cool Hand Poker you can only play at a maximum of three tables at once. This alone will keep almost all of the poker professionals away from Cool Hand Poker because many professionals like to increase their hourly rate by playing at several tables at once. This three table limit shouldn’t matter for casual players because we are just playing for enjoyment, not necessarily for profit (although it would be nice).

Sign Up to Cool Hand Poker Now!

The other way Cool Hand Poker deters professionals from playing at their site is by not offering any form of rakeback. A big portion of many poker pro’s earnings comes from rakeback. By playing at Cool Hand Poker the poker pro’s would lose a huge chunk of their monthly income because they wouldn’t receive the 27-40% rakeback that they can receive at other sites.

As you can see, Cool Hand Poker has put up some pretty big barriers to keep the poker sharks and poker professionals away. This means that casual players can enjoy the game in a more relaxed environment and actually have a shot at some winning online poker sessions. We all know poker is more fun when you win and by Cool Hand Poker eliminating the sharks, even the casual players can win from time to time.

I highly recommend you download Cool Hand Poker and try out the software. You will probably find a much friendlier environment and likely a much weaker set of competition.

If you do decide to register an account at Cool Hand Poker, make sure you use Cool Hand Poker bonus code 291 in order to receive your 100% matching bonus up to $350 on your first deposit.

Poker in Europe

NewPokerPromotions — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:40:17 +0000

Online poker is taking over Europe is booming. Those are the words you can these days find from a lot of different places. And online poker truly is taking over Europe. Just as with many other things the online poker first gained popularity in America and when it became a major thing “across the pond” the Europeans started realizing how much fun playing poker online really is. The first countries that got swiped over with the poker pandemic were a bit surprisingly the Scandinavian countries Norway and Sweden. It can be speculated that this was mainly because practically every home in those countries had a fast and reliable internet connection already over ten years ago. It didn’t take a long for the online poker sharks in those countries to become main stream media figures. Poker players such as Erik “Erik123” Sagström and Bengt Sonner aka “pkrbt” were soon featured in major news magazines and TV programs. After Scandinavia the poker boom began taking over the central Europe and soon major European countries such as France and Germany witnessed their own poker boom. Currently the poker boom doesn’t show any signs of slowing down and every year a new European country finds itself in middle of the online poker storm.
Every year the player numbers keeps going up on the European Poker Tour and other on other European poker tournament series such as European Masters of Poker.
This is mainly caused by countless online poker sites focusing more of their marketing efforts on Europe and running satellites to those tournaments. PokerStars has taken it the furthest and is the official partner of the European Poker Tour. You can find satellites to all the European Poker Tour events at PokerStars. Another site where you can find major satellites is LuckyAcePoker.
Besides the online poker sites focusing on the European poker market, several poker news sites have decided to focus on Poker in Europe as well. Most famous of them is the Euro Poker Pro which offers daily poker news and poker articles that focus mostly on European poker.

Poker Rooms Offering Casino Games

NewPokerPromotions — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:46:35 +0000

It has become very common for online poker rooms to have a casino section where players can take a break from the stresses of online poker and relax with some simple casino games. The casino games that poker rooms offer include all of the popular casino table game so you can play blackjack, video poker, or even play roulette online. It can be very nice after a bad beat to just hit up the casino section of the poker room and play until your anger has faded and you are ready to return to the felt.

Carbon Poker is one of the online poker rooms that has a casino section available for players. Carbon offers blackjack, roulette, caribbean stud poker and video poker to players looking to take a break from the tables. It is important to note however that the losses from these casino games aren’t recouped even if you are on the 30% Carbon Poker Rakeback plan. A lot of players believe that the rakeback extends to the casino games and this is just not the case.

Party Poker is another top quality online poker room that offers casino games to players. Party Poker’s casino is simply called Party Casino and is one of the many areas that Party Poker branched out into, the others being Party Bets and Party Bingo. If you have never played at the Party Casino before then you should definitely use a PartyCasino.net Bonus Code in order to make sure you receive the sign up bonus from Party.

Overall I think it’s great that poker rooms are offering casino games to players. There is no downside to incorporating them into the poker room. If you don’t want to play them you don’t have to, but if you do get the urge they are there for your enjoyment. Casino games are obviously not a great use of your money because of the house edge, but if they keep you from tilting your money away at the poker tables then maybe they do have their uses.

The FTP $250K Guarantee at Full Tilt Poker

NewPokerPromotions — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:41:42 +0000

Full Tilt Poker has recently announced that they will begin to hold a $250K guaranteed tournament on the first Sunday after the 15th of each month. The buy-in to these big events will be 5000 Full Tilt Points. These tournaments are now the only ones on Full Tilt Poker where you can turn your Full Tilt points into cash. The tournaments will have a 12000 player cap and the top 900 places will be paid. First place is just over $26K and the 450-900 place finishers all receive just over $60. You will also be able to satellite your way into these 5000 FTP tourneys for as little as just 50 points. If the tournaments do cap out, which I expect them to, each seat will be worth approximately $21.

This tournament is very similar to the current PokerStars monthly $1M Turbo Takedown where all players must buy-in with just FPP’s. Just because it’s a stolen idea though, doesn’t mean it’s not a good one. I really like the sounds of this tournament because it gives all players a chance to turn those FTP’s that they don’t know what to do with into potentially a lot of cash.

The first tournament of this nature will be held on June 21st at 2:15pm EST. There are already many Full Tilt pro’s entered including Gavin Smith and Lee Watkinson. If you aren’t signed up at Full Tilt Poker yet you should download Full Tilt Poker now and start earning Full Tilt Points. If you don’t get enough by the 21st there is always next months $250K guarnateed tourney.

Using PayPal to Gamble Online

NewPokerPromotions — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:20:47 +0000

PayPal is one of the most popular e-wallets available for use online and is the preferred choice because of its reputation, security and ease of transactions. The one problem with PayPal has been their anti-gambling stance which has made it very difficult for online poker, casino or bingo rooms to accept PayPal payments even though the majority of online gamblers do have a PayPal account. Well this problem has recently changed with many online poker rooms, casino rooms and bingo rooms allowing PayPal deposits for specific countries.

Some of the emerging PayPal poker rooms include Pacific Poker, Betfair Poker, Paddy Power Poker, Ladbrokes Poker, William Hill Poker and Party Poker. Even though these poker rooms are allowing PayPal deposits they are only from a select few countries in Europe.

Some of the PayPal casino rooms include William Hill Casino, 888 Casino, Paddy Power Casino and Betfair Casino. A lot of these casino’s also own PayPal bingo rooms that include Ladbrokes Bingo, William Hill Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo and Tombola Bingo.

At most of the sites mentioned above the minimum PayPal deposit is around €10 and the fact that these sites are now accepting PayPal will surely set them apart from the competition. PayPal is such an easy to use online payment method and it is nice to see the gambling industry starting to incorporate PayPal into their plans. Hopefully in the future more online gambling sites will start to accept PayPal and a larger list of countries will be on the accepted list.

Fortune Poker $20,000 Rake Race

NewPokerPromotions — Tue, 26 May 2009 01:40:10 +0000

First place in each half will win 1,750 Euros and this amount will decrease until the 50th through 125th place players earn 20 Euro each. Fortune Poker does many rake races and they are one of the main attractions to the poker room.

If you are a big time cash game player these rake races provide a lot of value when used with the 30% Fortune Poker rakeback and the 200% up to $1000 bonuses. If you are able to clear the entire $1000 bonus, while cashing in the rake race and earning 30% rakeback you will be up more money than you have paid to the poker room. The great thing about Fortune Poker rakeback is that bonuses are not deducted from rake so you can take full advantage of all Fortune Poker bonuses and promotions.

So if you are looking for some more cool gifts for Christmas, PKR may have your answer. I would only suggest playing in these tournaments if you were already planning to play some poker that day as the tournaments are not that great value, with only first place winning an extra prize. However, if you do manage to outlast the field, you can take home some pretty sweet gifts.

If you don’t have a PKR account yet, be sure to get the best PKR bonus code around when making your initial deposit. At least download PKR and try out the software, you will be sold!

Using Online Poker Promotions to your Advantage

NewPokerPromotions — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:51:16 +0000

Poker promotions are a great way to continue to build your bankroll after you have exhausted the initial deposit bonuses for the majority of the reputable online poker rooms.

After you have used all the additional money the poker rooms gave you to try out their rooms, you have to look for other ways to gain an edge. These can include rakeback, freerolls (such as the country freerolls at Full Tilt), overlay tournaments AND online poker room promotions. Many promotions offered by poker rooms give money and prizes back to the players.

For example, the Doyle’s Room bounty promotion gives players a free entry into their first bounty tournament, which is a value of $27.50. On top of this players can earn extra bounty money from knocking out Doyle or his friends. This all turns into additional cash being added to the tournament.

Another example would be Carbon Poker’s monthly rake race promotions, which are always the exact same with different themes, which kind of annoys me, but they are still giving cash back to the player. Or even Full Tilt’s happy hour. Full Tilt Points are basically cash because they can buy you into tournaments or purchase you Full Tilt merchandise.

Poker series’ held by rooms almost always have extra prizes or a winners freeroll that gives back to the players. For example the Cake Poker Reindeer Games promotion has added prizes for every tournament, such as 5 seats added to the $250K guaranteed, $5000 added to the prize pool, etc, not to mention the $20K Reindeer Games finals which the top 9 finishers from each event earn entry to.

As you can see poker promotions are a great way to build your bankroll, because you can actually be at an advantage to the house. Any time a poker room offers a promotion such as a money added tournament, a rebate or special bounties, you should try to take advantage of these offers, rather than just play regular tournaments where the poker room earns 10% of your buy-in.

A smart strategy would be to look at our bonuses page. Try to clear all these bonuses while building your bankroll, which will give you a lot of additional poker funds. Start by playing at the poker rooms that give you the best poker bonus and work your way down through the remaining poker rooms bonuses. Then come back and stay on the look out for new poker promotions that are coming up, that put the advantage back in your hands. It’s all about continuing to build your bankroll by gaining an edge any way you can!!

Doyle’s Den Promotion

NewPokerPromotions — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 04:44:24 +0000

Doyle’s Room has recently jumped on the Happy Hour type promotion started by Full Tilt, where players can earn more Loyalty Points (aka Frequent Player points) by playing at a certain time or on certain tables.

At DoylesRoom if you play on the Doyle’s Den tables, which are listed in green under the cash tables, you receive an additional 30% more loyalty points than at a regular table. These tables are not visible to other players who play on the iPoker network through other sites, only DoylesRoom players can see these tables.

The Doyle’s Den tables are the exact same as other tables, except for the increased Loyalty Points earnings. An increase in Loyalty Points is great for the players, as this means, faster bonus clearing and more points which can be used to buy-in to DoylesRoom tournaments or converted into cash through the “Points for Cash” program at DoylesRoom.

Full Tilt Poker Holiday $100K

NewPokerPromotions — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:33:13 +0000

On December 27th at 3:15pm EST Full Tilt poker is hosting the Holiday $100K. This is a tournament that gives all players a chance to turn their Full Tilt points into a share of $100K!

The buy-in for the tournament is 2000 FTP and there will be many satellite tournaments running from now up until the 27th where players can satellite into the event for as little as 50 FTP. I know this is the path I’m going to try to take, with my FTP total dwindled down after some recent Full Tilt clothing purchases you will possibly be able to find me in a 500 point satellite looking to play in this great value tournament 2 days after Christmas.

Just to add some perspective, a Full Tilt poker hat costs 4000 FTP points, so to play in a $100K guaranteed tournament is only costing about half of a hat. To me, this is a hard decision, but that’s only because I desperately need a new hat. But to most people this is an easy decision. Go for the cash!

On the other hand, there is already 4500 or so entrants, with a max of 7000, so I have a feeling that this tournament will max out soon. This means if you want to register you should do so very soon. It also means that the 2000 points are worth roughly $14. Now this makes the hat vs tournament decision a little bit harder, because $28 for a hat isn’t that bad.

So now I’m back to the question. Hat or tournament? Only because I have only 500 FTP I’m choosing satellite into tournament. If I had 4000 points I would choose hat, but that’s just me. The choice is yours and if you decide to play in the Holiday $100K at Full Tilt, I wish you good luck!

***If you are a new player to Full Tilt, make sure to use Full Tilt referral code THEFULLTILT during signup to ensure you receive up to a $600 bonus on your first deposit.

Reindeer Games Final
The top nine from each reindeer games tournament will also receive a seat in the Reindeer Final. This tournament will offer a $5000 grand prize and a prize pool of $20K total. So with 10 reindeer games tournaments, that means the finals will be a $20K tournament with only 90 entrants. That equals out to a $222 buy-in per person, if it was a buy-in tournament.

Targeted: All players who are tired of hold’em and omaha and are looking for a new poker variation.
Value: No added value
Chance of big payday: Whatever you put in, determines what you can win
Type of Promotion: New Variation of Draw Poker
Take Advantage: If you are looking for an interesting draw poker game, where big hands are often present, then yes.

Details
32 Card Draw Poker is increasing in popularity across Europe and is now available to be played at Devil Fish Poker. Only the top half of the deck is used, (7-A), which results in a lot more big hands such as full houses and quads. All these big hands causes a lot of fast paced action, which makes 32 Card Draw one of the most exciting poker games around.

There are some rule changes. The ranking of hands is different than in regular poker, with a flush beating a full house and certain suits being more valuable for flushes than other suites. There is also an option to offer to split the pot. Also, (A,7,8,9,10) counts as the lowest straight in 32 Draw Poker.

Here are the hand rankings for 32 Card Draw:
1. Royal Flush
2. Straight Flush
3. Four of a Kind
4. Flush
5. Full House
6. Straight
7. Three of a Kind
8. Two Pair
9. Pair

Suit Rankings
1. Hearts
2. Diamonds
3. Clubs
4. Spades

Overview
32 Card Draw looks to be an exciting form of poker. I’m definitely going to try it out this Thursday after I play my weekly Devilfish Bounty Tournament.

Type of Promotion: Poker Camp
Take Advantage: If you are interested in improving your poker game and having some fun in the sun, then yes.

Details
Satellite qualifiers to the PokerStars Poker Camp are running now until December 27th. The weekly finals take place Saturdays at 2:30pm EST. You can win entry into these finals by playing the weekly satellite qualifiers or buy-in direct for $320.
The Poker Camp will be taking place January 5th and 6th at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino in the Bahamas. Greg Raymer will be leading the camp, which will focus on reaching the money in deep stack, multi-table tournaments. All skill levels will be catered to and the main teaching tool will be live hand analysis.

Overview
PokerStars Poker Camp is sure to be a huge success, as the biggest online poker room knows how to teach and party right. This camp will be amazing if you are lucky/skilled enough to win a seat. Learning from some WSOP champions and other PokerStars pros will be worth a lot in your future poker games as well as a great story for your buddies.
Poker won’t be the only thing on your plate over the two days though. You’ll also have the opportunity to soak up the sun on one of the best resorts in the Bahamas or check out how your favourite pro is doing at the tables of the PokerStars Carribean Adventure. All in all this will be a great weekend, so I would suggest taking a few stabs at some satellites. I know I will be.

If you are going to be signing up as a new player at PokerStars be sure to use a PokerStars Marketing Code. Using a marketing code will ensure that you receive the $50 poker bonus that is available to new players at PokerStars.

Everest Poker Welcome Bonus

NewPokerPromotions — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:59:56 +0000

For a limited time Everest Poker is offering a $100 welcome bonus to all new players who open an account. All you have to do to receive this bonus is enter the bonus code “Welcome” when prompted while opening the account. Then once you make a deposit on Everest your bonus is released into your real money account by earning summit points. In ring games you earn 1 summit point for every $1 that is raked, including fractional points. For example you would earn 0.2 points if $0.20 is raked. For every $1 paid in tournament fees you earn 8 summit points. Every summit point is equivalent to $0.07 of your bonus. Your bonus is moved into your real money account each time you earn summit points. This is different from the majority of poker rooms who move your bonus over in increments of $10 or $20.

The one downside of Everest’s welcome bonus is that it expires after 30 days and the amount that has not yet been earned is forfeited. This means you have to make sure you play enough poker the month after signing up to ensure you get as much of the $100 bonus as you possibly can!

Everest’s online poker bonus is one of the best in the industry because there is no minimum deposit to earn the full $100 welcome bonus. Also, because the bonus is not earned in increments, it is easier to earn as much of the bonus as possible before it expires.

In addition to the $100 welcome bonus, you will also receive a new depositors freeroll token if you make a deposit within one week of signing up. The token is for a $1000 freeroll that runs every Monday and Thursday at 1:30pm EST.

PKR’s bounty tournaments are always a ton of fun, and I would encourage anyone who can to play and get in the 007 mood.

Poker Rakeback Offers

NewPokerPromotions — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:23:14 +0000

Unfortunately paying rake is just a part of poker. Rake is the money that the poker rooms collect for supplying their online poker room and services. Now players can get a portion of their rakeback. This can really help increase players profit margins. In addition to getting some rakeback, players will also get the sign-up bonus from the poker rooms.

For example you can get Cake Poker Rakeback of 30% PLUS a $500 Bonus. And you will have daily stats, so you know how much rake you have earned. There are plenty of sites on every poker network that are offering rakeback. You can even get rakeback at Full Tilt. You’ll get a $600 Full Tilt Poker Bonus plus 27% of your Full Tilt rakeback. Be sure to check and see if the poker room you are going to sign up at offers rakeback deals. It can be a great addition to your bankroll.
