Press Release

Multiple ways to qualify for the World Series of Poker 2010

21st April

paddypowerpoker.com today announces plans to bring players to this year’s World Series of Poker*  for free.  There are two ways for players to earn a package, either by earning a set number of Paddy Points (loyalty points) during the 60-day counting period or by winning a package in an exclusive freeroll.

Paddy Points are awarded on cash tables, in Sit'n'Gos or playing in tournaments, so all play on paddypowerpoker.com will count towards achieving the total.  Furthermore, players who accumulate the target number of points are free to use them as they see fit once the counting period is over (points can be exchanged for cash bonuses or tournament tokens via the poker room’s VIP programme).

paddypowerpoker.com also announces the launch of a variety of WSOP qualifying options, including Super Satellite tournaments, an MTT Super League and Jackpot Sit’n’Go qualifiers.  The various WSOP prize packages on offer include flights, accommodation and entry to different WSOP events (depending on the package won), including both the WSOP Main Event and various Side Events.

“All poker players turn their minds towards Las Vegas at this time of year and every one of them dreams of playing their favourite game in the poker capital of the world”, said Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com.  “We plan to take as many players as we can to Vegas for free this summer, and have loads of qualifiers up-and-running for those who want to win their package right now!”
