€1,000,000 Bonus For All Jogar Poker Online World Series of Poker Qualifiers
Players that qualify for the World Series of Poker though Jogar Poker Online will become eligible for a share of an unprecedented €1,000,000 bonus.
Montreal, Quebec April 8, 2009 - In an unprecedented move, Jogar Poker Online announced today that it will match total World Series of Poker winnings by its players at the Main Event this June, and will distribute that exact amount to any player that qualifies for the tournament through Jogar Poker Online.
The way the bonus works is simple: At WSOP, Jogar Poker Online will match the Main Event winnings of its qualified players up to €1,000,000, and share that amount with all those who qualified for WSOP through Jogar Poker Online Poker. Even if a player busts out in the first hour, they will still remain eligible for the bonus. Based on last year's figures that would mean all 62 Jogar Poker Online players - regardless of how quickly they were kicked out - would have netted €20,000 each.
There are many ways players can qualify for the biggest prize in world sport (over €9,000,000 last year) but only with an official WSOP sponsor, Jogar Poker Online, could a player go home richer even if they lose.
"Our aim last year, our first as sponsor, was to encourage more European players than ever before to go to the WSOP, which we did," said Jogar Poker Online spokesman Ed Pownall. "This year we want to reward that loyalty by offering a knock-out reason to qualify with us. This bonus gives everybody hope of winning something even of they are out early on and it will also give an added sense of camaraderie to all those qualified with us."
