The PokerNews iPad Raffle promotion has come to an end and three lucky winners have been chosen. Each of them won a brand new iPad 3!

The PokerNews iPad Raffle was an exclusive promotion that gave participants a chance to win one of the world’s most sought-after gadgets – an Apple iPad 3 – just for playing FastForward Poker on PartyPoker. All players had to do was generate at least five PartyPoints during the promotion period and their alias’ were entered into a raffle where three names were drawn at random.

The three lucky players who were picked out of the hat are:

• Louzy11 (Netherlands)
• Luc_Da_King (Germany)
• raymiley67 (United Kingdom)

Congratulations to all three of our winners and a big thank you to the droves of PokerNews players who helped make this promotion a roaring success.

The three winners should already have received an email from our excellent support team, so if you’re one of the aforementioned players, please check your email and your spam folder in case your overzealous spam filter has captured our attempts to contact you!

The next PokerNews-exclusive promotion on PartyPoker is in the pipeline but until it is launched, let us point you towards our superb free $50 offer. This free cash offer is only open to new customers who download PartyPoker through PokerNews and use our bonus code “PN50FREE.” Follow the basic steps below and a free $50 will be all yours!

• 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 within 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 of it will be forfeited.

Once again congratulations to our winners! Enjoy your fantastic prizes!

The PokerNews EPIC League is complete and now all eyes are on the Double Stack Final on August 28 at 1800 GMT. The lucky players that have qualified will be fighting it out for a $2,500 EPIC package to play in the Everest Poker International Cup live final in Alicante, Spain, next month.

The next 15 players will all win tokens to play in a $25,000 direct-entry tournament on August 29 where a further ten EPIC packages can be won on Everest Poker. Everest pro Fabrice Soulier is also playing, and will have a 30,000 Summit Point bounty on his head, which can be used in the Summit Points Store.

The league final was supposed to consist of 50 players, however there were three players at the very bottom with the same points and in the interests of fairness, we decided to let them all in to play in the final.
