The 2011 World Series of Poker is literally just around the corner and Betfair Poker are planning on sending dozens of players to Las Vegas, Nevada to take part in the largest poker festival on Earth. The two main ways to win a seat to the 42nd Annual World Series of Poker are "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and the "6 Shooter" promotions, both of which are explained below.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
This is not about the Sugababes but instead a brilliant promotion that is going to send three lucky grinders to the $10,000 WSOP Main Event and another 147 players will win a share of $40,000! All you have to do is play your little socks off at real money games on the 100% secure Betfair Poker client until May 26 to earn as many Betfair Points as you possibly.
Every point you earn will help you climb the weekly leaderboards, which run form 00:00:01 on Friday until 23:59:59 on a Thursday. Depending on where you place in the weekly leaderboard will influence how many Master Leaderboard Points you get. Finish in the top 3 of the Master Leaderboard and you will win a $10,000 seat to the WSOP Main Event, place 4-150th and you will win a share of $40,000. Happy grinding!
6 Shooter
The 6 Shooter promotion is not about how many attempts on goal the Arsenal strikers need before they hit the back of the net but about the six tournaments that will take place on consecutive days, awarding a total of 12 WSOP side event packages worth $5,700 each! Each package consists of entry to Event #54 ($1,000) and Event #56 ($1,500), flights, eight nights accommodation, access to the Betfair Poker party and spending money!
The only way to take part in one of these six tournaments is to earn yourself a ticket to them and how do you do that? Easy. Just move up through the various VIP levels on Betfair Poker, and the higher you manage to get, the more tickets you will earn. As the meerkats say, "simples." Progress through all the levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Diamond and Master and you will get six shots at winning a $5,700 package.
To earn the necessary points for the "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and "6 Shooter" promotions you will need to play real money cash games and tournaments. You will earn 3.25 points per $1 in rake (according to the Essence System) in cash games and 5 points per $1 in fees for all forms of tournament poker. All points and rake you generate throughout the promotions will count towards earning up to 40% Valueback and if you are a new customer attracted to our 100% financially secure site the points will count towards the welcome bonus of between $50 and $2,500 making this one of the best-valued online poker promotions ever!
