888 Poker Rewards Program Includes $25,000 Rewards Freerolls

Last Updated on

888 Poker pulls out all the stops with its rewards program, including $25,000 Rewards Freerolls.

As part of its rewards program, 888 Poker is holding special freeroll tournaments that players can enter depending on their status level. Players can even advance status levels simply by competing in one of these rewards freerolls. In addition to regular cash prizes, 888 Poker is also holding weekly and monthly status freerolls with prize pools of up to $25,000 guaranteed.

At least five of the 888 Poker rewards freerolls have no buy-in. You need only have attained the required eligible status level to sit in. All players are eligible for the $75 Daily Freeroll and the $750 Weekly Bronze Freeroll. There’a are also $1,000 Weekly Silver Freerolls, $4,000 Monthly Gold Freerolls and $7,000 Mothly Platinum Freerolls with the named status levels reflecting the minimum level participating players must have attained prior to registration. The weekly and monthly freerolls in this category all take place on Saturdays.

Then there are three rewards tournaments that aren’t exactly freerolls but are certain cheap when compared with their guaranteed prize pools. There’s the Silver Dollar tournament for Bronze players only with its $1 + $0.10 buy-in and rebuy/add-on, awarding cash and Silver status. The Gold Rush has a $5 + $0.50 buy-in, is open to Bronze and Silver players, and confers Gold Status in addition to cash prizes. Finally the Platinum Record costs $15 + $1.50 to enter and confers Platinum status to the top Bronze, Silver and Gold entrants.

888 Poker Mixes in Casino Games With $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up

Last Updated on

For those who like casino games almost as much as they like poker, 888 Poker presents the $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up.

The 888Poker $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up starts every Thursday. To qualify, players need only play one casino game of their choice at 888 Casino on any given Thursday between midnight and the minute before midnight. That qualifies you to play in the following Saturday’s $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up tournament on 888 Poker. It starts at 17:00 GMT and can be found using the Restricted button under the Tournaments tab.

All eligible players – meaning those who play any online casino game at 888Casino on a Thursday – will be notified of their eligibility for the tournament that Friday. At 17:00 GMT on that Friday, registration will open for the following day’s freeroll tournament. The player pool is capped at 3,000 and it’s first come first served for registration.

You can practice for the $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up at 888 Poker’s Double or Nothing Sit & Go tables. Tables of 8 or 10 players compete until only half the player pool remains, at which point each player remaining gets the buy-in of one of the people who busted out, in essence doubling their money. It’s a low-risk, high-reward way to prepare for your participation in the $1,000 freeroll. Buy-ins start as low as $2.50 + $0.35.

Or whet your chops for an upcoming $1,000 Free Casino Mix-Up by playing in a Private Tournament that you set up with other players you feel comfortable (perhaps confident, even) playing against, at stakes that match your bankroll and risk tolerance.

888 Poker Introduces A Por Ella Bounty Event

Last Updated on

888 Poker has introduced a new event in which players have the chance to take on the Last Woman Standing in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, Leo Margets. Hailing from Spain, the 888 Poker pro finished 27th in a field of 6,000 players to claim a $352,000 payday and now you have the chance to claim a $1,000 on her head every Thursday at 888 Poker’s A Por Ella bounty tournament.

Starting every Thursday at 20:00 GMT, A Por Ella costs only $10 + $1 to enter, with a $1,000 bounty on playername “LEO” on the first Thursday of every month and a $250 bounty on the rest of the Thursdays in any given month. The winner of each A Por Ella event and the winner of the bounty on LEO will both win bonus prizes of a free seat in the following week’s A Por Ella event. In addition, for that event 888 Poker will place a $50 bounty on each of those players’ heads, giving the rest of the players something extra to vie for.

Each A Por Ella event is capped at 500 players. If LEO doesn’t show to an event, her bounty will be split among the players at that event’s final table. If the previous week’s tournament or bounty winner doesn’t show to an event, the bonus bounty on their heads will be dissolved entirely.

You can find the A Por Ella tournament listed under the Multi-Table tab in your 888 Poker lobby.

888 Poker Introduces $100K Sunday Challenge

Last Updated on

There is a brand new promotion over at 888 Poker, taking place every Sunday from now on, each time offering $100,000 in guaranteed cash prizes.

The concept of the Sunday Challenge is not entirely new to 888 Poker, which until recently hosted a $50,000 challenge every Sunday. The only difference is, as of now, if the face of a growing player base (currently standing at over 8.2 million players), 888Poker has doubled the guaranteed prize pool for that event.

The 888 Poker $100K Sunday Challenge takes place every Sunday at 19:35 GMT for a buy-in of $75 + $5 (the same buy-in, incidentally, as for the event’s predecessor: the $50K Sunday Challenge).

Speaking of doubling prizes, don’t forget 888 Poker’s Double Up array of promotions, from the double-sized deposit bonus to double the number of tournaments, promotions, and bonuses in general.

The EGR (eGaming Review) Awards gave 888 Poker the prize for Socially Responsible Operator of the Year. 888 Poker is listed on the London Stock Exchange, certified by eCOGRA, TRUSTe, McAfee and other leading Internet authorities, and processes hundreds of thousands of financial transactions securely each and every month.

888 Poker is the site that introduced PokerCam tables where you can view your opponents in real time, the 8-cent tournament, where you can win a share of $2,500 up to $1,000 for just $0.08, and win seats into exclusive freeroll tournaments worth thousands of dollars in cash prizes just for playing at 888 Poker on two or more days of any given week.

888 Poker Goes Social

Last Updated on

In this evolving age of social media, 888 Poker is keeping up by going social itself. Social 888 Poker includes new offerings like Team Poker and PokerCam tables and up to $100,000 in prize money.

Teams Poker takes the live poker tournament experience to the social level by allowing players to form teams with whom to share in their winnings. If you win, your team wins – and vice-versa. Buy-ins for Teams Poker tournaments are as little as 88 cents, with which you can win a share of $1,000 or up to $2,500.

888 Poker is adding new Teams Poker tournaments to the schedule all the time, especially as new teams emerge. Teams Poker Tournaments pit all the members of two teams against one another with the winning player getting half the prize pool and their team splitting the other half. Each team must have at least 100 players, but no more than 1,000.

Cash game players can also go social on 888 Poker by playing Face2Face, as they say, at the site’s new PokerCam Tables. These tables are indicated in the 888Poker lobby by an icon that looks like a webcam. At PokerCam tables you can see your opponents live, just like they were in the same room with you. See their tells, know when they’re bluffing, put them on tilt. Just know they can see you too, so you’d better practice your poker face when you sit down at 888 Poker Face2Face.

888 Poker is even on Facebook and Twitter. And they publish their own 888Poker Wall on the site where members can update their status profiles and video testimonials.
