Weekly Bulletin The great Promotion is set to continue - Ladbrokes Poker set to pay out $5,000,000 more in Rake Race – now extended The heat is on - we’ve already given away a massive $3,000,000 in our exclusive Ladbrokes Poker $1,000,000 Rake Races and we’re set to continue dishing out the dosh, as we extend our exclusive promotion! For the next five months up until the end of August, the top 3,000 Ladbrokes Poker 'Rakers' will continue to share a massive $1,000,000 monthly cash pot - and you could be one of the 3,000 each month, with more cash in your pocket as a result of the promotion. Remember – this is not available to players on any other site. Ladbrokes Poker will award points to those who play on any of our cash tables, if you collect enough you’ll automatically be entered on to the Rake Race Leaderboard. The major beneficiaries of the promotion since it began in January have been the Swedes, who have dominated the top ten positions taking the lion’s share of big money cash prizes, which range from $20,000 - $7,500. However, the Danes closely follow and have also secured slots in the top ten thus avoiding a Swedish monopoly in the top ten rankings. The UK have fallen short of securing a top ten place although as a country the Brits have secured the most individual cashes since the promotion began. Nigel Blower Head of Events and Promotions said: “This is a brilliant promotion for our players and has been received positively. Competition has been furious, after all, this has it all - one-upmanship, plus massive online payouts. Other sites have tried to copy – but Ladbrokes Poker is the original, the biggest, the best and also the most transparent.” “The Ladbrokes Poker Rake Race Leaderboard has been a great tool and I believe has been at the root of some friendly rivalry as players use it as a tool to track their performance peak.” Nigel Blower continued: “Feedback from our players suggests that the reason why the promotion has proved so popular is that they feel that they fare much better under the Rake Race promotion than they did under the old system we operated.” The prizes for April will be awarded to the player with the most Rake Race points as at on the 30th April and only points collected during the month of April will be eligible for the $1,000,000 April payout.

Irish Poker Festival in October €250,000 Guaranteed at Ladbrokespoker.com Irish Poker Festival in October Qualification is now underway at Ladbrokespoker.com, for the Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival in Killarney, Ireland which takes place in October (2nd – 4th). The popular main event attracted a record-breaking number of entrants last year (832) making it the largest European ranking event ever staged. The Festival will again be held at The INEC, Killarney, with the main event commencing on the Friday (2nd). There is even a last-chance super-satellite to the main event, which will be played out at the venue on the Thursday (1st) for those who have not yet qualified. The Ladbrokespoker.com Irish Poker festival will also include two side tournaments, and throughout the festival duration, players will also have exclusive access to Ladbrokes hospitality facilities, where there will be a games room with pool, darts and other activities available in between all the poker action. This amazing poker package will cost €1,000 ($1,400) which includes three nights accommodation, your Main Event Buy-In and is available exclusively through Ladbrokes Poker for as little as $5. Ladbrokes Poker has generously guaranteed a €250,000 prize pool and we’re anticipating that the volume of entries will be on a par with last years’ event making a prize pool that will again top €400,000 producing a first prize of €100,000. The three-day Main Event is a brilliant introduction to live poker and a great short break away. Who could ask for more? It combines great poker, a beautiful destination and the chance to sample the renowned Ladbrokes Poker hospitality. Nigel Blower, Head of Events and Promotions said: “We’ve created a tournament that offers players a €5,000 structure for a €500 buy-in, allowing all players irrespective of bankroll to show their Deepstack skills. We feel that we’ve ticked all of the boxes taking into account key factors such as: Price – The package covers three nights accommodation and the €500 + €50 Main Event buy-in. The total cost of the Ladbrokes Poker Killarney package wouldn’t even cover the Buy-in of the majority of live tournaments currently run in and around Europe. Duration – The timing and length of the event mean that the festival is basically a long weekend away. The main event starts on a Friday and ends on a Sunday - this has been done to avoid clashes with work or family commitments. Location – Killarney is synonymous with great Irish hospitality and that’s what our players are going to get. The venue itself is Ireland’s National Event Centre, at the heart of a vibrant hotel and leisure complex, 100's of tourist attractions and a great night-life associated with Irish music! Killarney is far enough away for most to warrant it being a great weekend away, but near enough to ensure a players journeys is only a couple of hours long.
