Download Betfair Poker and win a seat to the upcoming Betfair Poker LIVE London Main Event!

The outstanding Betfair Poker LIVE tour drops anchor in London, United Kingdom, from Feb. 17 through 19 at the Fox Poker Club and thanks to our exclusive promotion, you could win one of two packages worth $1,400 each.

All you need to do in order to stand a chance of winning a package is earn 50 Player Points between now and Feb. 1, and a seat to a freeroll that has two packages up for grabs will be yours. Player Points are awarded at a rate of 3.6 per $1 in tournament fees and 3.6 per $1 in rake (as per the Essence System) at the cash game tables meaning you can earn a seat in the $2,800 freeroll for less than $14.

Once at least ten people have met the entry requirements, the PokerNews exclusive freeroll will be given the green light and will take place at 2000 CET on Feb. 4 and will award the first and second place finishers with a Betfair Poker LIVE London package worth $1,400.

Each package consists of:

• $650 Main Event buy-in for Betfair Poker LIVE London on Feb. 17
• $750 travel and accommodation allowance
• Betfair’s legendary hospitality

The Betfair Poker LIVE Main Events are unique in that they are all played to a “bounty hunter” format, meaning players do not even have to make it through to the money places in order win some cash! $100 out of each player’s buy-in is placed on their head as a bounty and is given to whoever eliminates them from the tournament, adding a dynamic not seen on any other poker tour’s Main Event.

Last year’s Betfair Poker LIVE London Main Event attracted 171 players, creating a prize pool of £39,330. Finnish player Arttu Pitkakangas won the event, taking home the £7,630 first-place prize. How big will the prize pool swell to this year?

Being able to play in a freeroll with a $2,800 prize pool for just 50 Player Points would usually be enough value for most poker players but Betfair has decided to add even more to the promotion in the form of its Betfair Poker EDGE.

Any player who funds their Betfair Poker account by the time Day 1a kicks and then goes on to win Betfair Poker LIVE London will receive a complimentary $1,400 package to the next Betfair Poker LIVE event! Furthermore, be the unfortunate player to burst the bubble and you will receive a bottle of champagne and a $120 ticket in your Betfair Poker account that can be used in one of the Betfair Poker LIVE online weekly qualifiers.

Remember that this promotion is only open to PokerNews players who download Betfair Poker through our links. New players will be able to choose their own sign-up bonus of between $50 and $2,500 with no deposit being necessary giving you even more reasons to sign up today.

Download PokerStars to play in an exclusive PokerNetwork League with weekly added Sunday Cubed packages and an ANZPT Package to the eventual league winner. All tournaments start at friendly times for those in the Eastern Hemisphere, and they’re open to all PokerStars players.

To celebrate the launch of the new $50,000 Guaranteed Sunday Cubed Tournament on PokerStars, we bring you the exclusive PokerNetwork ANZPT League. You can fight it out for added cash, Sunday Cubed tokens, and even a package to play in ANZPT Darwin, which takes place Oct. 4 through 8.

The PokerNetwork League

Catering to players in the Eastern Hemisphere, the PokerNetwork League features both an engaging format and a ton of added value prizes. It begins with weekly league events for eight weeks in a variety of poker formats. The winners of each league event will win cash, league points, and the first-place finishers gets a free ticket to play in the $50,000 Guaranteed Sunday Cubed Tournament on PokerStars.

Visit PokerStars

Each tournament has an exclusive password, which will be made available on the day of the tournament on the PokerNetwork forum.

The top 27 players in the league will be manually registered for a PokerNetwork ANZPT League Final on Sept. 28, 2000, AEST. The prize pool is as follows:

1. ANZPT Darwin Package (Value to be confirmed)
2. $400
3. $300
4. $200
5. $100

Score More Points

This league is quite unique in that there are some novel ways to score points. Anyone who makes the final table will score anywhere from 1 to 10 points, but will also score an additional point for every tournament played.

Also, every player can choose one of the final four tournaments (between Aug. 31 and Sept. 21) to be declared a Wild Card Tournament, which will score a player double league points. You need to declare your wild card tournament before it starts in the dedicated forum thread over at PokerNetwork.

About the Sunday Cubed

The winner of each league event will also win a ticket to play in the $50,000 Guaranteed Sunday Cubed, which takes place every Sunday at 0500 ET. A cubed tournament is one that has one rebuy and one add-on – three potential buy-ins in total. It is a very popular format, because it bridges the gap between a traditional freeze out and the all-action frenzy of a rebuy tournament.

About ANZPT Darwin

The third season of the Australia New Zealand Poker Tour is scheduled to make its third stop at SKYCITY Casino in Darwin, Australia, from Oct. 4 through 8. The buy-in and prize pool are yet to be announced but last time around Danny Leaoasavaii took down this event for AUD $57,000. You could be going for free if you take down the PokerNetwork League final on Sept. 28.

This promotion is open to all PokerStars players, no matter where they signed up. If you don’t have a PokerStars account, make sure you sign up through PokerNews using marketing code “POKERNEWS.COM” to get a 100% up to $600 first-deposit bonus, and to ensure eligibility for any future exclusive promotions.

You will also need to be a member of the PokerNetwork forum to get the exclusive password, which is released the day of the tournament, for each league event.
