Update 5/14: Our Titan Poker rep has informed us that Titan Poker has made this move in hopes of obtaining a license in the Spanish market. On Thursday morning PAS received word that Titan Poker will no longer accept new depositors from Spain ahead of the Spanish market opening up on June 1st. The move will affect Titan brands Titan Poker, Titan Casino and Titan Bet. Interestingly, another Europartners brand, Mansion Poker will apparently continue to accept new depositors from Spain. Titan Poker is one of the most popular and recognizable poker rooms on the iPoker network, frequently referred to as the flagship brand of the network. Unlike fellow iPoker heavyweights William Hill, Genting and Betfred, Titan Poker has no brick and mortar presence. In addition to their popular .com room, Titan Poker also currently holds a French license, operating on the iPoker.fr network as Titan.fr. According to Pokerfuse, 40 license operators are believed to have applied for licenses in Spain. Poker brands thought to be on the list include PokerStars, Party Poker and Ladbrokes. Other poker rooms such as Unibet, Bodog and Microgaming have already opted out of the new market, which is thought to rival the ring fenced markets of Italy and France. We will update this post when we have more information on the specifics of Titan Poker's latest move.

Effective immediately, Chili Poker has joined forces with Poker770 and is now directing players to a new home on Poker770. According to CEO Alexandre Dreyfus, the decision to merge the two skins is to increase liquidity, but the move also comes days after a merger with Bally Technologies. All players will receive an email about the account change informing them that personal details will automatically be transferred into the new account. Players will be able to log in to the new account at Poker770 on March 2nd at 10:00 CET. PAS Publishers will continue to receive commissions for players referred to Chili Poker at Poker770. PAS is currently working on getting these players transferred. Poker770 is a well established online poker site having first launched in 2001. Poker770 is touting a new lobby, $50k in freerolls every month, a new VIP program and a MegaPokerSeries as features of the new site. In addition to operating a .com room, Poker770 is also one of the poker rooms to be launched in the new Belgium regulated market. Chili Poker recently partnered with Bally Technologies and will be working in the U.S. regulated markets, launching Golden Nugget as their first gaming brand as early as 2 months from now.
As some of you may know, each month I go through each of our partner rooms and post the most significant non-exclusive promotions of the month. Today, I thought I would share my subjective analysis of the most interesting promotions on the list -- my Top 7 -- running during February. 1) WPT/Party Poker Card Rush During February, Party Poker and WPT Poker bring back the popular Card Rush. For each 15 Party Points a player earns they will receive a game piece that will reveal a guaranteed prize of a minimum of 10 Party Points up to a grand prize of $5,000. Card Rush Race points will also be earned towards a leaderboard that will pay additional cash prizes of $50 to $9,000 to the top 200 players. Party Poker will also scatter $50 spots to players finishing 220 through 2,000. Party Poker will be awarding up to 1.8 million cards during the length of this promotion. Undoubtedly, many of these cards will be Party Points and freeroll entries but it's still a great extra perks that grinders should appreciate. 2) Carbon Poker/Aced/Black Chip Poker $25,000 Bankroll Booster Freerolls Carbon Poker, Aced and Black Chip Poker will be running numerous daily qualifiers to the $25,000 Bankroll Booster Freeroll to be held on February 26th at 2 PM ET. There is no direct way to get into the tournament so players must enter either three-times-daily Freeroll Qualifiers (at 13:30, 17:30 or 21:30) or via VIP Points Earned Qualifiers. The VIP Points Qualifiers are run nine times daily. To qualify for these tournaments, players must earn a designated number of VIP Points the previous day and/or the current day up to the time of the tournament. I'm estimating an overlay of about $10 per player in the final. 3) Minted Poker $1 Max Rake Minted Poker and other sites on the Everleaf Network have extended $1 Max rake caps on all tables through February. These tables should be attracting more players than they are due to the fact they are not subject to the large 5 euro max rake and the winning limits that players must undergo at the euro tables. This would be the top promotion in online poker if there was more traffic on these tables. 4) Betsafe $100,000 Points Races Betsafe offers their lucrative Points Race every month so this promotion isn't any more special than previous months. I like this promotion not only for the total size of the prize pool -- which is divided into two promo periods each month -- but the overall value to players. Betsafe also sweetens the pot by providing a $6,000 freeroll to all players that finish in the top 100 of Race 1 or 2. 5) True Poker/Americas Cardroom You really wouldn't think that a small network such as Winning Poker would be able to offer such large promotions, but during February they have actually increased their monthly race promotions to $100,000. $60,000 of the prize pool is awarded to the top FPP Point earners during the month and another $40,000 will be given away during weekend "Sprints," $10k each weekend. Note that the Sprints are only available to ring game players while the $60k "Marathon" is offered to both ring game and tournament players and actually awards bonus points for participation in top tournaments. 6) Boss Magic Hands For one day only on February 14th, the Boss Network (Poker Heaven, Fortune Poker, Interpoker) are awarding cash prizes to players that hit various Valentine's Day themed hands. I've always loved these types of promotions, especially ones that are relatively easy to hit like this one. Players receive €25 for a Heart Flush, €25 when losing 3 hands with K and Q of hearts and €250 when winning a hand with Straight Flush of Hearts. Players must submit a Magic Hand to claim via the Player Zone within 72 hours of hitting the hand. Note that both hole cards must be used and other rules apply. 7) Mansion Poker On Target! I'm also a big fan of promotions that guarantee a prize when a certain amount of play is achieved and that is exactly what Mansion is offering during February with their "On Target" promotion. Each week during the month, players can enter On Target via a no-play tournament from the lobby. Players that hit a raked hand target during the week will receive a cash reward and a $50 pending bonus. Prizes start at $5 and a $50 bonus for reaching 200 raked hands. Not bad, especially for grinders and when combining the promotion on top of the other many Mansion promotions. There you have it- my personal favorite standard online poker promotions for the month of February. If you a PAS publisher, be sure to also check out over $300,000 in exclusive promotions during the month of February. Good luck and happy marketing!
