If you are a Party Poker or WPT Poker affiliate, you have likely seen the benefits of increased interest in the poker room from promotions such as World Domination, Gladiator and Card Rush. With the introduction of the Championship Challenge on Monday, Party Poker is introducing it's latest cash-based promotion that is sure to be of interest and line the pockets of your valued members from now through the end of June. About the $100,000 Championship Challenge The promotion works much in the same way World Domination has in previous months, so if you are familiar with that promotion, you should have no problem understanding the Championship Challenge. Instead of cities and countries, players earn one "Football Player" for every 10 Party Points that are accumulated during the promotion period. Like World Domination, only a certain number of Football Player game pieces are awarded, so players are encouraged to get rolling on the promotion as soon as possible if they are interested (there are still 3.3 million left so not that much rush). Players can earn up to 100 Football Player game pieces per day. The football players will feature prizes ranging from freeroll entries (a $1k freeroll entry for the Italy Striker, for example) to cash prizes up to $20 (the Poland Goalkeeper). Not all football players will yield instant prizes, but they will contribute to "Team" prizes. The prizes increase when completing Teams -- four players from a country. Earn the entire England team and receive $50; earn all the Poland players to receive a $1,200 prize. There are over a dozen additional countries that players can complete that will yield prizes ranging from $75 to $900. The prizes don't stop there, however. Earn all four countries in a group to receive huge prizes ranging from $1,000 to $7,000, depending on the group. If a player manages to complete all four groups, Party Poker will award an incredible $100,000 cash prize. Championship Challenge Freerolls Many of the instant Football Player prizes that are awarded by Party Poker are freeroll entries ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. These freerolls will be held after the promotion from July 5th to July 8th. Marketing the Party Poker Championship Challenge If you have Party Poker members that have registered through your sites, make sure they are aware of this promotion through social media, news posts, front page features, mailers or any other high visibility marketing channels. The benefits of this promotion combined with VIP rakeback up to 50% can be unbeatable. New players can also take part in a 100% up to $500 sign-up bonus and of course, all players can currently enjoy the exclusive $20,000 Tournament Fever Series running through May.
The PAS Exclusive Promotions for the month of May have now been posted in the forum. Check out a full list of the $300,000 plus in exclusive promotions here. Often when there are new promotions introduced, there can be some confusion so I wanted to explain some of the newer promotions in a bit more depth. Party Poker Tournament Fever Series: The Party Poker Tournament Fever Series is back for a third round. The first event will be held on May 8th, and like the previous Fever Series events, will be a mix of No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha, Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud. What's different this month is that two of the events will award WSOP entries to the top 4 finishers. Event #6 (May 15th) and Event #9 (May 20th) will award 1 $750 WSOP Satellite entry and 3 $80 WSOP Satellite Qualifiers. All events will either be $500 freerolls or will add $500-$1,000 to the prize pool. A $8,000 Tournament Fever Series Leaderboard will award top Leaderboard Point earners over the 13 events. A full schedule will be posted shortly on PAS. Party Poker Tournament Fever Series Event #13 Event #13 is a new twist on the Tournament Fever Series and something you should begin promoting to your Party Poker players. The tournament is a $4,000 freeroll only open to the top 100 Party Point earners from May 1st to May 22nd. Of course, this presents an advantage for any player in the Tournament Fever Series leaderboard, so make sure your higher volume players are aware of this promotion. Party Poker $10 Free Tournament Ticket The first 200 first time depositors will receive $10 in tournament dollars to be used on any multi-table tournament on Party Poker. The buy-in Tournament Fever series events present a great opportunity for players to use these tickets. Supplies are limited so make sure your players are aware of this ticket opportunity to encourage deposits. Poker Heaven €5,000 Rake Race After a month absence, the Poker Heaven €5,000 Rake Race returns. Paying cash prizes of €20 to €800 to the top 50 rakers, this race has been relatively easy for players to place. Players must opt-in to the Player Zone to participate. This exclusive €5,000 Rake Race will compliment the €5,000 standard races running on Poker Heaven from May 7th-May 11th, May 14th-18th and May 21st-25th. Cake Poker $60,000 Rake Race For the last two months Cake Poker has offered a $100,000 standard points race. We're pleased to report that the $60,000 exclusive Rake Race is back for May. The leaderboard will be split into $15,000 weekly races running from May 1st-8th, May 8th-15th, May 15th-22nd and May 22nd-30th. If you have any questions about any of these promotions, please don't hesitate to post them in our forum.
If you have high volume Party Poker players, take notice of the latest promotion for the poker room's top players. Starting April 23rd and running through May 13th, Party Poker will offer the VIP 500 Club, an opt-in promotion that will allow Palladium VIP players to receive instant prizes for their play during the promo period. Like the Gladiator and other similar monthly cash-game promotions, the VIP 500 Club should prove quite appealing to your high volume players. VIP 500 Club Prizes For every 500 Party Points that a player earns (the equivalent of $250 in rake), a Palladium player will receive an instant prize card that will yield one of the following prizes:$5-$500 cash$25-$100 poker bonus100-500 Loyalty Points BonusiPad 2 or iPodSuper high generating players will receive $1,000 in cash and 5,000 in points. Unfortunately, to qualify for this special prize, a player will need to collect 50 cards. That's the equivalent of $15,000 in rake, a milestone that few players will reach. Don't Forget to Opt-In To participate in the VIP 500 Club, Palladium players will need to opt-in to the promotion via the Party Poker site. To qualify for the Palladium status, a player needs to earn 9,000 Party Points per quarter, the equivalent of $1,500 in rake per month. The 500 VIP promotion will appeal mostly to ring game players, due to a relatively high Party Point requirements. Tournament players should take a look at this month's PokerFest II, starting a day earlier on April 22nd and giving away over $3.5 million prize pools over 47 events.
There are some major changes to announce pertaining to PAS Exclusive Promotions at Party Poker this month, which includes the introduction of the $18,000 Tournament Fever Series. While we're talking Party Poker, we also wanted to inform you of the Gladiator Promotion running during March. We have seen amazing results from this promotion in previous months so we highly recommend heavily promoting this offer as well as our brand new promotions. The promotions mentioned in this post also available for publishers promoting WPT Poker. Party Poker March Promotion Summary Let's take a look at the highlights of this month's Party Poker promotions, all of which are available for players who sign-up through a PAS site: --New Player $1,000 Weekly Freerolls -- PAS Exclusive --PAS Exclusive $18,000 Tournament Fever Series -- PAS Exclusive --Gladiator New Player $1,000 Freerolls PAS's Exclusive New Player Freerolls are back again for March but have been lowered from $3,000 to $1,000 to help fund our featured promotion of the month, the $18k Tournament Fever Series (see below for more information). Approximately 100 players have been entering these weekly freerolls, the equivalent of a $9 or $10 tournament ticket. Make sure to promote these early on in the month -- players can enter more freerolls if they sign-up earlier in the month. $18,000 Tournament Fever Series We're trying something completely different this month as our main promotion for existing members of Party Poker (who signed up through a PAS publisher site, of course). Starting March 11th and running through the end of the month, Party Poker will hold a series of exclusive tournaments and freerolls for our players. At the end of the month, the top 75 players who earned the most Leaderboard Points will receive cash prizes ranging from $25 for 75th up to $1,000 for first -- a total of $10,000 given away during on the leaderboard. This is an addition to the money added to each event. Schedule of Events for the Tournament Freeroll Series: Leaderboard Points: Players receive Leaderboard Points based on finishing position in each of the tournaments. Gladiator Last but not least is the return of Gladiator, a promotion that awards players who earn Party Points -- earned at a rate of 2 per $1 in rake -- over a designated number of days (think Full Tilt Poker's Iron Man promotion). Gladiator awards cash prizes up to $4k, $25k in freeroll entries or even $8,000 WPT or $15,000 WSOP Packages for ultimate Gladiators. After players opt-in they simply need to start earning Party Points and do so consistently each day. Dedicated players will be handsomely rewarded by the end of the promotion. The $15,000 WSOP Package, which is not listed on the chart below, is earned when generating 1,500 Party Points each day for 40 days from March 1st to April 15th. If you don't want the prize package, you can instead receive a $10,000 cash prize. Gladiator is sure to appeal to ring game grinders while the $1,000 New Player freeroll and $18,000 Tournament Fever Series will obviously attract your tournament-minded players. Despite these special promotions, don't forget to mention the other perks available to players, including a 100% up to $500 sign-up bonus and a VIP program that awards up to 50% VIP rakeback. PAS publishers promoting Party Poker can take their pick of a $125 CPA or 25% revenue-share commissions.
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!
