Official February Promotions Thread

[GonzoPAS]

Hey everyone,

See below for a tentative February promotions list. Please note most of the rooms you see missing from the previous month will likely be back for February but we can't guarantee their inclusion at this time. In addition, we have a couple members of the team at the London affiliate conference so there may be some new promotions that come from that.

What do I need to update?

Stock Sites

If you have not edited your promotions page in the past you probably won't need to do a thing. Just look over your website to ensure that any banners you have are accurate and your links are up to date and working fine.

Customized Sites

You can either use code below as needed or open promotions > promotions and click "Restore to Default". This will give you all the correct links to the existing promotions. Once you do that, Use the pages in promotions > descriptions to translate or add your custom content. Editing only within the Descriptions and emails folders will ensure you always receive automatic updates.


Promotional Banners

Typical 500 x 90

CMS Pages Overview

promotions >
This folder now contains most of the files needed for displaying your promotion info. The root of this folder contains one file for each and every poker room that has a promotion associated with it. Each of these files contains only a few lines of code. These files contain only a title and include statements for each relevant leaderboard and description. This should mean that non English PAS websites will not have to customize these pages at all and therefore will always recieve updates!

promotions > archives >
This folder contains the leaderboards for promotions that occurred the previous month. The list at the top of the page contains anchor links that act as a shortcut to the leaderboards listed below. If you edit this page be careful not to alter the include syntax in any way.

promotions > descriptions >
This folder contains descriptions for each of the four promotion types as well as a description for the promotions page. These pages are safe to fully customize. The contents of each will be called from each promo page (see above) that offers that type of promotion. These pages contain a short description of how each promotion type works and include relevant details that are generic enough to apply to multiple websites. The sign up link will redirect visitors to your offers page.

promotions > freeroll_emails >
The contents of these files will automatically be sent to all qualifying freeroll participants. Be carefull not to edit any {{ tokens }} in this file.

promotions > promotions
This page contains a table listing all current promotions. If you do not alter this page it will automatically update. If you do customize this page you will want to review it every month and make updates when necessary. This simple table structure contains links to all the promotions pages where the leaderboards are listed. The introduction is called from the Descriptions folder.

navigation > promos_widget
This optional page contains a complete listing of available promotions that can be added to your sidebar. You can use this by adding the following code to your layout > layout.html file:

{% fragment navigation/promos_widget.html %}

NOTE: If you are offering Party Poker, Eurobet and Tower gaming use Promosplus Widget instead:

Hey Gonzo

Hey wilee,

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, we had a points boost in January for True Poker players that made a deposit during the month. Still waiting to hear on whether that's coming back in February.

[GonzoPAS]

Promotions are mostly completed. Still awaiting word on Betfair and True Poker from last month.

Is BetSafe points race gone?

Is BetSafe points race gone?

Sure is. Sorry it was left out of the original post. That was my fault.

[GonzoPAS]

Betfair Natural Born Grinders Race with 25% PAS bonus and $50 for 150-300 positions has been added. This promo starts February 10th and runs through April 5th.

[KK89]

Are there any extra information on CarbonPoker's 10k rake race? i.e. the payouts. I can't find any more information about this on their site. Thanks dude!

[GonzoPAS]

Hey KK89,

As is the case for all our exclusive promotions, you won't be able to find information on the poker rooms webpages because they aren't offered as a standard promotion. This information will however be available on your promotion page on your website if you use the default content. IN case you dont have that set up right now, you can view the leaderboard on RakeTracker (a retail brand we operate): Carbon Poker Leaderboard

[GonzoPAS]
