Sky Poker Announces The Next UKOPS £150,000 In Prize Money Guaranteed

First up this week is some big news from Sky Poker who have announced that this coming Easter weekend will see the next in their hugely popular UK online poker series of events, the UKOPS XIII with a massive £150,000 in prize money guaranteed across the weekend.

However, before we take a look at Sky Poker’s new online poker series in a bit more detail, let’s first have a look at LadyLucks Casino’s current promotion running throughout the month of March. It’s called Gold It and there is a perfectly good reason why.

LadyLucks Gold It promotion

We like promotions that offer our readers something a little different and LadyLucks have certainly come up with an offer that is certainly out of left field as far as most other promotions are concerned.

From the 2^nd until the 31^st March, players can win a selection of Gold Coins every two days in a series of draws.

To enter the draws players need to play at least £15 in cash on the Goldify slot, or £25 in cash on any other LadyLucks game between Monday to Thursday in any given week. This qualifies them for a place in the next ‘Quarter Draw’ which sees a prize of one limited edition quarter sovereign coin, of which there are only 3000 in circulation today.

The next draw is the Golden Draw which sees players who play £5 cash on Goldify, or £10 cash on any game every day between Friday to Sunday given the chance to win one of 5,000 rare 22-carat Half-sovereign gold coins.

Finally, if you deposit more than £50 into your account between the 23^rd and 31^st March then you will be entered into the Midas Draw. The winner of this draw, which will be announced in early April, will receive a fantastic set of three coins. A full set of full, half and quarter sovereigns, in a presentation set, of which only 1000 were ever minted.

This is a fun and somewhat unusual promotion for punters to get involved in, but be aware that these gold sovereigns are well worth winning as they are, literally, worth their weight in gold.

If you’d like to participate in this King Midas-themed offer on the Goldify slot, or indeed on any other LadyLucks slot, be sure to create an account – but not before you claim your LadyLucks Casino welcome bonus information.

Sky Poker announces Easter UK online poker series with £150,000 in guaranteed prize money

Sky’s UK Online Poker Series (or UKOPS as it has become known) is one of the most popular online poker tournaments in the UK. The last series, which ran between Christmas and New Year proved to be a huge hit and as a result, Sky Poker have announced that UKOPS XIII will take place over the Easter weekend from Friday 3^rd until Monday 6^th April 2015.

However this 13^th incarnation of the series has a twist, TUKOPS, which stands for the Turbo UK Online Poker Series, with the majority of the fourth day of action on Easter Monday devoted to turbo events offering super-fast poker with some outstanding big money prizes.

Each Day sees one Main Event kicking off at 8pm, and the winner of these big money events will not just win a massive share of the prize fund (which is guaranteed to be at least £15,000 and could be as much as £30,000) but they will also win a much sought after UKOPS bracelet.
