Everleaf Network to Leave US Market

Last Updated on

The Everleaf Network is set to announce their exit from the US poker market.  An announcement to that effect should break some time tomorrow.   The network received a cease and desist notice from the US government and their Malta licensing authority has advised them to cease all United States operations.

Various skin operators on the network have taken steps to assure players that their money is safe.  No one knows for sure how US players will be refunded their money, but there are supposed to be  negotiations with the United States in progress now to facilitate that return.

This is all breaking news.  Check with Holdem Poker Chat frequently for updates as the situation develops.  Luvin Poker was the only Everleaf Network skin that Holdem Poker Chat promoted.  Other sites on the network included Minted Poker, Poker4Ever, Raider Poker

Luvin Poker In Midst of PokerPoints Frenzy
	


	

		Last Updated on     				


Luvin Poker is smack dab in the middle of its month-long PokerPoints Frenzy. It’s a four tournament online poker series with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000 at each event, making for a grand total guaranteed prize pool of $4,000.


The Luvin Poker PokerPoints Frenzy runs from September 1 to 30, 2011, during which four weekly PokerPoints Frenzy Tournaments will take place at each of which a $1,000 cash prize pool will be given away.


What makes this a PokerPoints Frenzy and not just a four tournament frenzy is that there are no cash buy-ins for these events. You can only buy in with PokerPoints, which you earn by playing at Luvin Poker’s real money tables. It costs 500,000 PokerPoints to enter the $1,000 guaranteed tournament, but you can win your way there for much cheaper.


Luvin Poker is holding a Step tournament satellite series leading up to the $1,000 PokerPoints Frenzy, with daily 10-seat tournaments with the following buy-ins: 250 PokerPoints for Step 1; 1,000 PokerPoints for Step 2; 5,000 PokerPoints for Step 3; 25,000 PokerPoints for Step 4; and 100,000 PokerPoints for Step 5. Only the winner of each of these Step satellite tournaments will win a seat in the next Step satellite in succession. 


The PokerPoints Frenzy tournament takes place every Wednesday in September, 2011, with the first having already taken place September 7 The remaining PokerPoints Frenzy tournaments will take place today, September 14 and September 21 and 28.


You can find the PokerPoints Frenzy tournament and all Step satellite tournaments leading up to them in your Luvin Poker SnG lobby. 

	


	
	






			
	

		
Win Freeroll Entries With Luvin Poker PokerPoints Program
	


	

		Last Updated on     				


Luvin Poker runs a PokerPoints program that allows players to earn free entry into a variety of cash multi-table tournaments. Luvin Poker players earn PokerPoints at a rate of one PokerPoint for $0.10 or 1.5 PokerPoints for every €0.15 they spend in rake at LuvinPoker’s real money cash game tables. 


Players can then use the PokerPoints they accumulate to enter PokerPoints Freeroll Tournaments that have no cash buy-in and award real money as prizes. A quick search of PokerPoints Freerolls running at the time of this writing showed three taking place today, a $50 PokerPoints Freeroll for a 150 PokerPoints buy-in and two $10 PokerPoints Freerolls, each with a 50 PokerPoints buy-in. 


While the prize pools are not necessarily huge in these events, they are free to enter with points earned simply by playing as you normally would in LuvinPoker cash games anyway. The real benefit to participating in these PokerPoints Freerolls is that they are a safe (read: no-risk) way to practice tournament style online poker, which is different to play than cash games. Currently all Luvin Poker PokerPoints Freeroll Tournaments are in No Limit Texas Hold’em.


Freeroll tournament entries aren’t the only thing PokerPoints can earn you at Luvin Poker either. The site also has its own webshop, featuring LuvinPoker apparel, including men’s, women’s and unisex tank tops, t-shirts, windbreakers, vests and military caps. You can order any of these items for as little as 1,000 PokerPoints.


Licensed in Malta by the Lotteries & Gaming Authority there, Luvin Poker is open to U.S. players.

	


	
	






			
	

		
Introducing the Luvin Poker Super League
	


	

		Last Updated on     				


Luvin Poker offers its players $2,000 in guaranteed monthly prizes for the top players in its Super League. The Luvin Poker Super League is a points race in which players at Luvin Poker’s selected guaranteed tournaments will earn points based on their performance in the events. 


The top 30 players in each of these selected guaranteed tournaments will receive points, ranging from 5 points for each of 26th through 30th place to 200 points for first. Luvin Poker will track these players’ point scores over the course of the month, giving $500 to the player who has earned the most points at the end of the month, $300 to the runner-up and $200 to third place. Players in the top 20 will be paid out a prize of at least $20. 


Super League points and the end-of-month $2,000 pot is on top of whatever prize monies these top performing players earn from the tournaments’ guaranteed prize pools.


In addition to a Super League leader board and prizes for regularly schedule MTTs, this August 2011 Luvin Poker also holds three other monthly leader board contests for Sit and Go tournament players–SNG Bronze, SNG Silver and SNG Gold. Eligible tournaments for this contest are all 6-seater regular and 6-seater speed Sit and Gos (SNGs). Whether a tournament is considered for points on the Bronze, Silver or Gold leader board depends on the tournament buy-in, with SNG Bronze tournaments having buy-ins of $0.55 or less; SNG Silver tournaments having buy-ins of $1.10 to $5.50; and SNG Gold tournaments having buyins of over $5.50. End of month prizes a guaranteed sum–$100, $250 or $600, respectively–plus a percentage of the month’s SNG buy-ins paid. First place gets 40% of the pot, second gets 25 and third gets 15%. The top 5 places pay out.
