BetFred Poker Launch Summer Tournament Series

BetFred Poker Launch Summer Tournament Series

If poker fans can tear themselves away from the conclusion of the 2009
World Series of Poker then they’re likely to find a number of excellent promotions occurring at their favourite sites, like BetFred’s newest, the Summer Tournament Series.

The BetFred Poker Summer Tournament Series is a massive series already underway at the site and slated to run daily until the end of the season. With buy-ins set as low as 1 cent and a prize pool guaranteed to run at least
$43,000 USD in total the tables at BetFred are sure to be buzzing for the next two months. The company will be adding up to $1,500 with every continuing week of the series. Qualifying games run each and every day — the players that earn their way to the top will then be able to compete in a weekly tournament. These tournaments take place every Friday night at 8pm EST, hosting a re-buy format and starting players with 1,500 chips and a minimum 10-chip blind.

All online poker players need to get in on the
Summer Tournament Series is an account with BetFred Poker and to follow a few simple steps. New registrants must hold a deposited amount sufficient to cover a buy-in to one of the many BetFred tables then compete in a poker game and accumulate a relatively easy 1,000 points (earned from real-money game actions such as betting, winning hands and so forth).

Betfred Launch St. Patrick’s Promotion and More

Betfred Launch St. Patrick’s Promotion and More

Players at Betfred Bingo are sure to have a busy month ahead of them as the notable site crams even more great bonuses and rewards into the second half of March. Members of Betfred will be able to compete for some great, seasonal prizes throughout the next two weeks as the popular network launches special events for two of the month’s biggest days.

March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day and Betfred Bingo is celebrating by providing lucky members the chance to double their winnings with a special promotion. Players who have deposited within the last seven days before St. Paddy’s will be able to compete for a full house during the 17th. If achieved, Betfred will double your earnings. The second big event commemorates the official first day of spring, March 20th, with an IKEA voucher giveaway. Players that have deposited at least £25 between the 1st and 19th of March become eligible for a £250 IKEA reward as part of the Spring Makeover competition. Every eligible Betfred member will then be entered into a draw through which the winner is eventually announced at the end of the day on the 20th.

With both of these promotions, Betfred Bingo is going a long way toward making March a good month to play in while waiting for spring to truly arrive. Both promotions accompany the already outstanding bonuses regularly available for Betfred members.
