Poker has long been a game of choice for many, but it has only been in the last ten years that poker has made the move from a game to a sport in the eyes of its fans and competitors. Sites like Ladbrokes.com have soared in popularity thanks to films like Casino Royale bringing the glamorous poker lifestyle back to the mainstream.

However, poker is about more than the rush of adrenaline you get when on a winning streak; it’s about the money to be made and, with anyone being able to enter into tournaments at Ladbrokes, the competition is becoming fierce.

Buzz Mania is one of the bigger tournaments currently available on Ladbrokes, offering the chance to win a share of “10,000 cash, or “10,000 of Sunday buzz tickets. Players must opt-in to take part, and play at the multi tournament tables (MTT) in order to qualify for one of the two freerolls. Simply play during any day in February to qualify and build your MTT days.

To enter freeroll #1, and qualify for your share of Sunday buzz tickets, you must accumulate 20 MMT days. For freeroll #2, to qualify for your share of “10,000 in cash, you must accumulate 30 MMT days. The freerolls will be held on March 2, and will follow the same format as Sunday buzz, although playing at any GBP MMT during February generates two MMT days towards qualification.

GBP tables are exclusive to Ladbrokes, meaning that only registered players can participate. You can find these in the cash lobby – just look for anything British. Think bulldogs, Charing Cross, Yorkshire puddings – are you starting to get the picture? Although don’t worry, you don’t have to be British to play, you just need a Ladbrokes account.

Another great offer, currently open solely to Ladbrokes social followers, is the chance to win a ticket to the Sunday buzz “75k GTD.
