Another December Bonus from Bet365 Poker and Sky Poker’s UKOPS XII Satellites

Christmas is a time of the year that is best symbolised by giving and when it comes to poker offers, December has certainly proven to be an already fruitful month. We have already listed some exceptional offers on No Deposit Poker this month from the likes of Sky Casino, 888 Poker, Bet365 Poker and Sky Poker.

Yet we’re not finished by any means as this week, we bring you news of two more offers or tournament-based promotions in December, again from Bet365 Poker and Sky Poker.

Let’s take a look at each of these very different deals in more detail.

Bet365 Poker’s Road to €100,000 promotion

Bet365 has already given us one of the most impressive promotions this December with their Wrapped Up Rewards offer, however that offer was based exclusively on play at the cash tables.

That’s great news if you are a mobile player (you can play from your iPhone/iPad or Android device via the new Bet365 Poker app) but it did mean that tournament players didn’t seem to have an awful lot to tempt them into playing.

Now though thanks to Bet365’s new Road to €100,000 Big Sunday promotion, there’s plenty of reasons to be tuning into Bet365 over the remaining weeks of December.

Simply make a deposit or transfer cash into your Bet365 Poker account and when you do, you will receive 20 free tournament tokens for any of five daily freeroll events. Each event sees one lucky winner receive a tournament token worth €75 for direct entry into Sunday evening’s Big Sunday tournament, with a cool €100,000 in prize money guaranteed.

However that is not all, those players finishing 2^nd to 26^th will also receive a tournament token, for a special weekly The Road to £100k – 10 Tokens Guaranteed freeroll held Sunday at 4pm GMT. In this weekly freeroll, the top ten players will each win a €75 tournament token, offering them a direct buy in to the forthcoming Big Sunday €100,000 guaranteed tournament, starting at 6pm GMT on every Sunday throughout December.

This is currently the biggest weekly prize available on Bet365 Poker throughout the week and sees a guaranteed prize fund of at least €100,000 up for grabs every Sunday in December.

Such is the popularity of the tournament that it attracts a large number of players, frequently well in excess of 1,500 players and occasionally closer to 2,000. This means that the tournament can last for more than on evening, with play scheduled to finish at 01:00am on Monday morning from Sunday’s 18:00 start, then play resumes on Monday night at 20:00 GMT.

If you would like to take the opportunity to play for the biggest weekly prize available on Bet365 Poker, then check out the latest information about the no deposit Bet365 welcome bonus available via nodepositpoker.  Join today and you can receive €5 free as a new customer, in addition to receiving your freeroll tokens when you make your first real cash deposit.

Sky Poker’s UKOPS XII extensive satellites now running for massive online poker event

So Santa has been and delivered his presents to you and your loved ones, the turkey has been carved for another year and Boxing Day has passed. You may think that the most exciting part of the festive season is over, but if you are a poker player, then in truth it hasn’t even begun.

That’s because from Saturday 27^th December through until Tuesday 30^th December inclusive, Sky Poker will once again be hosting their massive online-based UKOPS XII event, promising four days of the best poker action you will find anywhere this festive season.

The UKOPS stands for United Kingdom Online Poker Series and is a number of events hosted by Sky Poker on the selected dates, but this year, there is a difference.

Sky Poker have listened to some of the comments of players who participated in the last few UKOPS events and as such, they have introduced three ‘warm up’ events, which will take place early on in the day at 14:00, 16:00 and 18:00 GMT, in addition to the five nightly UKOPS tournaments.

These warm up events will be contested for guaranteed pots of at least £1,000 or £1,500, £2000 and £3,000 respectively with the tournament starting the earliest being the one offering the smallest guaranteed prize fund.

However, for bargain hunters, these warm up events offer great value with buy ins starting at just £5.50 and going to £11 before the final warm up event costing £22 to play in.

Once the warm ups are out of the way then it is time for the five UKOPS events to start. Each night sees a Micro, Main, Mini, Challenger and Side event, and each event starts at the same time each night:

• Micro Event starts at 19:00 GMT (buy ins from £2.20 to £3.30)
• Main Event starts at 20:00 GMT (buy ins from £55 to £110)
• Mini Event starts at 20:30 GMT (buy ins from £5.50 to £11)
• Challenger Event starts at 21:00 GMT (buy ins from £11 to £22)
• Side Event starts at 22:00 GMT (buy ins £55 across the week).

In addition to these events, on the first night of the UKOPS XII event, there is also a £25,000 High Roller event, costing £530 to buy in to directly.

The Main Event takes place on Sunday 28^th December at 8pm and is a £40,000 freezeout tournament with a £110 buy in. There are however extensive satellites running across the Sky Poker site right now which will allow players to satellite into this big money event for considerably less than the stated buy in.

Each night there is at least £30,000 in guaranteed prize money up for grabs and on some nights, there is considerably more than that available, all of which must be won.

With prestigious Sky Poker UKOPS bracelets presented to the winner of both the Main Event and the High Roller tournaments, you could win this fantastic prize on top of an extensive cash prize too if you manage to land one of the two big events over the four days.

If you want a slice of this festive action between Christmas and New Year, then join Sky Poker free now and receive £10 completely free when you join, plus a fabulous 200% bonus of up to £500 when you make your first deposit.
