LONDON, August 23, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Be sure to enjoy one of Sky Poker's many online promotions this bank holiday
weekend
The August Bank Holiday weekend is a fantastic time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the
final days of summer. Sky Poker realise this, and are offering all of their online poker
[http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby ] players several fantastic bonuses to kick-off
the extended weekend.
So make sure that you head off to Sky Poker now to enjoy some of their latest offers
and competitions.
If you think that you are a capable poker player, maybe you will be able to win a
massive cash prize and a seat in the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final with the fantastic Jackpot
Boost promotion. To earn this fantastic prize, you will need to win the main event at 8pm
and then the mini-event at 8.15pm on the same night. So be sure to take your seats now for
a chance to feature in the Nottingham final.
Sound difficult? Well it has been done before.
Earlier this year, "alan1506" won both the Primo and Mini Primo on Sunday 22nd January
to scoop the GBP6,800 jackpot prize. Along with the impressive GBP3415.50 that he won as
prize money, "alan1506" took home a staggering GBP10,620. Pretty good for an evening's
work!
Sky Poker will also be rewarding players for playing poker during the month of August,
by giving everyone the ability to earn Poker Points at a faster rate thanks to the Super
Cash for Points promotion.
For instance, if you earned 1,250 points in a month you would normally get paid 1p per
point, which would equate to GBP12.50. In August, however, you will be paid 1.2p per
point, which adds up to GBP15.
Similarly, if you earned 7,189 points, usually you would get paid 2.2p per point. But
with the Super Cash for Points promotion, you will be paid 2.4p per point, which will earn
you a smart GBP172.54 in total.
With Cash for Points, you will only start earning your bonus after you have acquired
500 Poker Points. Typically you would earn 0.8p for every point gained, but with Super
Cash for Points during August, Sky Poker will be giving players 1p per point once they hit
the 500 point mark.
To be part of this amazing Cash for Points initiative, enter the promo code "POINTS"
in the "Free Bets" section of "My Account". This bank holiday weekend may be your last
opportunity to be part of the Super Cash for Points promotion, so be sure to take the time
to enjoy some poker online [http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby ].
But if you want to win some fantastic cash prizes in an exciting online poker
competition, the monthly Super Roller is the tournament you should be playing. The best
poker players online will be participating, so make sure that you enter and take down the
biggest monthly tournament on Sky Poker!
On the last Sunday of each month, Sky Poker will be running this amazing GBP110 buy-in
tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of GBP20,000. Each game will begin at 8pm, and
players will get 10,000 chips and the blinds will increase every 15 minutes, making it one
of the most exciting tournaments available.
If the GBP110 buy-in is outside of your poker budget, you can satellite your way into
the Super Roller from as little as GBP5.30 with daily satellites into the Semi-Final that
take place every night at 9.45 pm.
