Get involved in the fantastic PokerNews PKR StakeChases promotion and you could win a sponsorship package from PKR in the form of tournament tickets!

Kicking off on Oct.24 and running all the way through to Nov. 28, the PokerNews PKR StakeChases promotion could see you walk away with up to $250 worth of tournament tickets, just for playing your favorite real money poker games on PKR.

Unlike many rake-based promotions where you are battling against other players, in the PokerNews PKR StakeChases the only person you have to take on is yourself because the prize you are awarded at the end of the promotional period is based on the PKR Points you earned regardless of how many points your rivals generated.

The PokerNews PKR StakeChases are open to both new and existing PKR players who signed up for their account via PokerNews links and who used our bonus codes. New players will be entered into the First Depositors division, and our valued existing customers will participate in the Active PokerNews Players division.

The first points target you need to aim for is 2,500 where the first set of tournament tickets are awarded. The next highest tier is set at 5,000 then 10,000; 25,000; 50,000 with the highest rank and most precious prizes will be awarded to any player who reaches a 100,000 points tally. The prizes will be distributed as follows:

Existing Players

New Players

Although the points targets look very high, in reality they are actually easy to achieve because PKR Points are awarded at a rate of 100 per $1 generated in rake or paid in tournament fees. Plus, you have more than a calendar month in which to earn as many points as possible, which should be plenty of time to reach the top tier or at least get very close to it.

Please be aware that the prizes are not cumulative and you will only be awarded the tournament tickets from the highest tier that you manage to reach once the promotion draws to a close. Once this fantastic promotion has been completed, all tournament ticket will be credited within 48-hours and any winnings from these tickets can be withdrawn at any time, with no release restrictions.

If you do not have a PKR account then fear not, because PokerNews can rectify that situation and give you a 125% up to $500 first deposit bonus too. Download PKR through PokerNews, enter the bonus code “PNPKR500” and not only will you be able to claim the huge bonus, but you will also be able to participate in the PokerNews PKR StakeChases promotion too.

PokerNews and PartyPoker have come together to bring you yet another brilliant promotion called the PokerNews iPad Raffle. As the title of this article suggests, we have three iPad 3s to give away in a raffle that will only be available to PartyPoker players affiliated with PokerNews.

PartyPoker recently launched FastForward Poker, its version of the popular “fast-fold” poker. After extensive beta-testing, PartyPoker fully launched FastForward Poker and to celebrate are giving away three iPad 3s!

This promotion is available to both new and existing customers who signed up to PartyPoker through PokerNews. All you need to do for your chance to win the world’s most popular tablet is play on the FastForward tables from Oct. 8 through Oct. 23 and earn just five PartyPoints during that time. This is an extremely easy goal to achieve as two PartyPoints are awarded per $1 taken in rake and on FastForward you can log hundreds of hands per hour, meaning you should be able to earn five PartyPoints in a matter of minutes.

If you do not have a PartyPoker account, don’t worry. We can rectify that situation easily and give you a free $50 bankroll to get your career started. All you have to do to get your hands on the cash is follow the simple steps below, and $50 is all yours to keep!

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

Once you have received the 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 in 60 days is easy.

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 will be forfeited.

In addition to being able to help yourself to a free $50 and being able to participate in the iPad Raffle, signing up to PartyPoker through PokerNews will make you eligible for any promotions we hold together in the coming months and years!
