Poker Circuit News May 26 2009
In preparation for a site-wide makeover, I’ve done a lot of shuffling and rearranging this week at the Online Poker Circuit website. Makeover aside, there is a lot going on behind the scenes of the Online Poker Circuit. Let me bring you up to speed on some of the Online Poker Circuit news.
Now serving Rakeback
This week, the online poker circuit begins offering rakeback to members and visitors of the Online Poker Circuit. Through the Online Poker Circuit’s rakeback program, you will be repaid a portion of the money you pay in rake. Said another way, you’ll get paid by our poker rooms to play poker! We are offering Rakeback for many of the Online Poker Circuit poker rooms we offer – most notably: Cake Poker, Carbon Poker, Aced Poker, Absolute Poker, FullTilt Poker, and Cellsino Poker.
To view a complete list of our rakeback poker skins, check out our Online Poker Circuit Rakeback page. You can click here to sign up for a free rakeback account through the Online Poker Circuit.
In the event you have any questions about our rakeback offerings, including questions on receiving rakeback even if you already have a player account at one of the online poker skins we offer, feel free to either contact me by email, or check out our Rakeback Answers page.
Private RakeRace Freerolls
In addition to offering rakeback, we also are now offering RakeRaces and freerolls for Online Poker Circuit members. Each month, you’ll have the opportunity to compete in rake races for cash prizes, as well as qualify for monthly rake race freerolls. Some of the rake race freerolls allow you to qualify by raking as few as 1 hand in a month! In May alone, we’ll be giving away over $24,000 in cash prizes through our rake races and freerolls. Be sure to register for rakeback with the Online Poker Circuit to compete in rake races and rake race freerolls!
Forum closed
Due to several various factors, including time and focus issues, I’ve decided to close down the Online Poker Circuit’s forum. I currently do not have the time available to dedicate myself to the forum’s growth. Additionally, one of the last things I want on the Online Poker Circuit is a forum that won’t get any attention from me, thus contains outdated posts, threads, and useless “stuff.” With that in mind, I am throwing my endorsement and support to the newly opened PokerDonk Forum.
Click here to register for the PokerDonk Forum. You will find Gerry – the PokerDonk forum owner, very personable. The forum is merely a week old and is getting a good bit of support. Gerry will be offering some forum freerolls, coming very soon to his forum members, in addition to the tournaments he already has scheduled. Additionally, this will be the place to talk poker with the Beer Guy (I’m registered there under the name imjusthere4thebeer). Hope to see everyone there!
Upcoming Online Poker Circuit Events
In addition to the Rake Race Freerolls, I’m hoping to hold some private WSOP qualifiers via the Online Poker Circuit. Additionally, we will be offering a working closely with BigBet Poker in the upcoming months on a promotion designed to pay your mortgage or rent for a year! More details will follow in the upcoming weeks. In the interim, take advantage of BigBet Poker first time deposit bonus of 100% up to $500! Take note that this bonus releases $1 in bonus for every $1.20 in rake paid (a real value from a bonus chasing standpoint)! Click here to visit BigBet Poker via the Online Poker Circuit.
