Betfair birthday

It’s nearly time to warble “happy birthday to you!” to our good friends at Betfair Poker, as one of the UK best online poker offerings gets set to celebrate it’s second birthday.

And to mark this auspicious anniversary they are putting on a series of cash give away tournaments.

Not only that, they are giving players the opportunity to compete agasinst Betfair staff from ten countries

Bounties of $500 will go to players who eliminate Betfair Poker’s country managers in a campaign aimed at rewarding customer loyalty. In total, £100,000 will be returned to customers through these birthday bonus freeroll tournaments and a My Poker Points (MPP) promotion over the next few weeks.

Every player will be rewarded with £1 for every 50 MPPs and can earn up to £50. The two bounty tournaments will also feature added prize pools of $5,000 and $10,000 and take place on May 27 and 28.

With more than 100,000 registered players, from 126 different countries, Betfair Poker is the fastest growing poker room on the Cryptologic network, enjoying 150% growth in registered players over the last twelve months.

Betfair’s Head of Poker Ben Fried says: “At the heart of our successes is communication with customers. They help forge the direction we take in this highly competitive industry. This anniversary campaign rewards our customers with hard cash and creates opportunities for big wins.

“The bounty tournaments give a chance for our country managers to further interact with our customers. A few quite fancy their chances but my money’s on the customers cleaning up.”
