Online poker room Cool Hand Poker is giving users a chance to win concert tickets worth up to $500 for as little as $0.50. The tickets are part of the site’s November promotion entitled “Let Us Entertain You.” Players who take part can win tickets to see the band or live event of their choice and Cool Hand Poker will foot the bill.
On Friday, November 25th, the site will host its Let Us Entertain You finale. The event will feature a $5 +$0.50 buy-in with unlimited $1 rebuys during the first hour of play. The tournament is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm GMT and will have five-minute levels. Its winner will receive a $500 voucher to be used towards the event of their choice.
If $5 is still too steep, players can win their way into the final event via one of several feeder satellites that will run twice daily starting on November 1st and have a buy-in of $0.50. Like the final event, the satellites will also have rebuys and add-ons, which run $0.50.
This is not the only unconventional prize offered at the site, which caters to the recreational player looking to play for fun. Cool Hand Poker offers regular $3 + $0.30 buy-in tournaments with iPods as prizes and has given out shopping vouchers and digital cameras in past events as well. In addition to the merchandise, the site offers its fair share of tournaments with cash prizes, including its marquee $20 + $2 buy-in Sunday Fun Day event that boasts a $2,500 guarantee.
Cool Hand Poker offers tons of tips in its monthly newsletter and rewards players who put their newfound poker knowledge to use. Each month, the newsletter publishes a quiz to test players on their recently acquired poker skills. The first 100 people to respond with correct answers get prizes like a seat in one of Cool Hand’s tournaments.
New players can take advantage of Cool Hand Poker’s New Roller Freerolls. These $50 freebies run twice daily and are open to any player who has registered for an account over the past seven days. Users are allowed to play in as many of the freerolls as they want during their first week of registration. Cool Hand Poker offers a 100% deposit match up to $350 and if a user makes a deposit within seven days of registering, they’ll also get 200 free Cool Points in their account.
Cool Points are part of the site’s customer loyalty program and can be used to buy into several multi-table tournaments, sit and gos, and satellite events. Points are paid out based on the number of raked cash games hands played as well as the amount of money paid in tournament registration fees. Players can earn up to 1,000 Cool Points per day.
These points also play an integral role in Cool Hand’s “My Poker Challenge.” The challenge rewards players for the time and effort to put into their game by giving them extra Cool Points. If a player is able to end a day of play with more money in their account than they started with, then they will receive an additional 10% in points. Players can also double their Cool Points by playing on the cash game tables every Monday. If a player can earn the maximum 1,000 points per day and end with a positive balance every day, they also have the chance to win $10,000.
Cool Hand Poker does not currently accept U.S. customers and makes its home on the Microgaming Network.
