PokerNews wants to help you boost your bankroll, which is why we’re bringing you two superb promotions. There is a free $50 available from Poker770 and $50 from PartyPoker. Grab them both while you can!

Poker770 Wants To Give You $50!

Poker770 has teamed up with PokerNews to bring you an great free $50 promotion. Getting your hands on this free $50 is simple, all you have to do is download Poker770 through PokerNews, enter the bonus code “news50en,” and fill in and submit the details on the form. It really is as simple as that.

Once you have completed this easy task and your account has been verified, $25 will be released into your account. You then have to earn at least one Poker770 point within the first 60 days of receiving that bonus to lock up the money otherwise you will forfeit your right to the money. The second $25, taking the total free money to $50, will be released by earning just 500 Poker770 points within the next 120 days. This is applicable to players in Andorra, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland or the U.K.

If you live in any of the following countries, the situation is a little different, but you can still get the full free $50: Argentina, Belarus, Bolivia, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, India, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Madagascar, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, Uruguay or Venezuela.

These countries differ slightly in that the free $50 will be split into three parts instead of two. The first $10 will be released into your Poker770 account immediately and another $20 will be released once you have earned 500 Poker770 points within 120 days. The final $20 will be released once you have earned another 500 Poker770 points within 120 days.

One great feature about the free Poker770 cash is you can withdraw it with ease thanks to the low play-through requirements. Generate just $50 in cash-game rake/tournament fees or just make a deposit of $100 or more into your Poker770 account, and you will be able to cash out your free $50. What’s more, you can withdraw any profits over the initial $50 any time you like.

Get a Free $50 From PartyPoker

PartyPoker is one of the major players in online poker and has been for many years and it is making it even more enticing to play in its excellent selection of cash games and tournaments by giving PokerNews players a free $50.

The $50 is released in two segments of $20 and $30 respectively, and if you want to see these amounts in your PartyPoker account, just follow the simple steps shown below:

• Download the PartyPoker software through PokerNews
• Create a new PartyPoker account and enter the bonus code “PN50FREE”
• Fill in the registration form in the PartyPoker cashier
• Return to PokerNews and fill in our small registration form
• Check your email inbox for a confirmation email from free50@pokernews.com

Once you have received a confirmation email, $20 will be placed in your PartyPoker account. You must earn at least 40 PartyPoints before you will be able to withdraw the free $20. If you do not earn 40 PartyPoints within 60 days, the initial $20, or whatever remains of it, will be forfeited.

PartyPoints are earned at a rate of two PartyPoints per $1 in rake or tournament fees, so earning 40 within 60 days should be a very easy task even for those of you who play at the micro-stakes. These requirements will be even easier to fulfill if you play on the brand new FastForward Poker tables, PartyPoker’s “fast-fold” poker variant.

Once you have earned 40 PartyPoints a further $30 will be deposited into your account, bringing the total free cash amount to $50. You must then generate 160 points before you can cash out any of the $30 and must do so within 120 days otherwise the $30, or the remainder of it will be forfeited. Again, meeting the requirements is quite easy especially when you consider you have almost four months to do so.

Laugh Equity

PokerStars has signed comedian Gerry Dee to represent the online poker room’s free-play site, PokerStars.net. Dee, the star of the weekly sitcom Mr. D on CBC, will appear in TV commercials and at live poker tournaments for PokerStars.net. PokerStars has also signed on as the title sponsor of the Gerry Dee Comedy Tour.

“I’m better at math and statistics than the teacher you see on TV, so I’m not a bad poker player,” said Dee, who recently invited Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu to appear on an episode of Mr. D. “I’m no pro but I’ve always been a bit of a poker buff. I really admire the skill it takes to compete at the top level. I’m excited about this partnership and am looking forward to improving my game!”

A PokerStars commercial featuring Dee will air throughout the fall to promote a series of free online poker tournaments where Canadians can win a trip to the Bahamas to play in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA). Dee will attend the PCA and film his experience there for a TV special.

Wednesday’s announcement came one day after PokerStars and high-stakes legend Viktor “Isildur” Blom mutually agreed to part ways.

Bwin.Party Partners with Manchester United

Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, the world’s largest online gambling firm, has entered into a three-year deal to sponsor English Premier League soccer club Manchester United.

The agreement will see the integration of bwin into Manchester United’s website; access to players for marketing campaigns; and bwin-run betting kiosks located at the soccer club’s Old Trafford stadium.

“Manchester United is one of the biggest names in world sport with a global fan base running into hundreds of millions. We share a passion for football that has always been at the heart of our long term brand development strategy,” said bwin.party co-CEO Norbert Teufelberger in a statement. “Man Utd has 569 million followers outside of Europe, providing us with a great opportunity to offer jointly designed and innovative products in countries that do not yet allow real money online sports betting.”

Bwin also sponsors Spanish soccer club Real Madrid. The company was the title sponsor of the Portuguese League Cup competition until last January when a Portuguese court ordered Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment to remove ads and sponsorship from sports competitions in the country after finding the online gambling company’s activities to be illegal.

Heartland Poker Tour Goes Mile High

The Heartland Poker Tour is gearing up for a return to Black Hawk, Colorado, for the Mile High Poker Open at Golden Gates Casino and Poker Parlour. Annually the largest stop on the HPT’s nationwide tour, the Mile High Poker Open will run from Sept. 3 through 16 and is expected to generate a total prize pool in excess of $1 million.

“At every stop throughout the year, players say ‘See you in Colorado,’” said Fred Bevill, HPT’s executive producer. “This event has become a reunion of sorts for HPT players nationwide.”

Former world champ Greg Raymer will be one of thousands expected to compete at Golden Gates next month. Fresh off his win at the HPT Route 66 Championship in New Mexico, Raymer will be looking for back-to-back titles on the tour.

Last year’s Mile High Poker Open was won by Mark Dunbar, who collected $182,100 after besting a field of 401 players. Other former winners are Matthew Mason (2010), William Givens (2009), Andreas Ramadanis (2008), and Michael Haggard (2007).

Tony G is a Baller

By now, we all know that Tony G spent the summer managing the Lithuanian basketball team at the London Olympic Games. What we didn’t know was that Tony has some game, too.

On Thursday in Estonia, Tony squared off against former NBA player Martin Müürsepp on the basketball court and on the poker felt as part of the grand opening of the TonyBet betting shop. In what turned out to be an upset on both sides, Tony won the three-point shooting challenge against Müürsepp, but Müürsepp then got the best of him in the heads-up poker match.

Unfortunately for those in attendance, the draw meant neither had to run through Tallinn’s Independence Square in their underpants.

After the heads-up challenge, Tony and Müürsepp sat down with Estonia’s top four poker-tournament winners of all time – Imre Leibold, Marek Kolk, Raigo Aasmaa, and Henri Kasper – for a six-handed sit-and-go tournament. The winner would receive “1,000, and a “500 bounty was placed on Tony’s head. With hundreds of viewers watching via the livestream at EE.PokerNews.com, Tony G wound up winning the sit-and-go, even after letting a local girl and her dog sit in his seat and play his stack for about 30 minutes. It was quite the spectacle.

For videos and pictures of the day’s events, check out the TonyBet.eesti Facebook page.
