One of the common reactions poker players have about an opponent’s play is calling them a “donkey.” With that in mind, Cake Poker has come up with a promotion that will allow players to salute their favorite “donkey” while helping out a charitable organization with a worldwide reach.
Throughout the month of December, Cake Poker is accepting donations that will allow contributors to purchase a real, live donkey that will be gifted to Oxfam. If you’re not familiar with the organization, Oxfam provides working farm animals to families in need around the world. There are several different donation methods that can found under the “Events” tab at Cake Poker.
Players can donate from $5 to $300 towards the cause, with each donkey costing $100. If a player donates $100 for the full donkey, they will be able to dedicate the hardest working animal in poker to someone they deem worthy – an adversary on the virtual felt, a non-poker friend, or even a family member. Cake Poker will share these dedications through their blog.
January is one of the busiest months on the live tournament poker calendar and Cake Poker will be running satellites to send players to the Aussie Millions. One of the most prestigious tournaments in the world, this year’s Aussie Millions begins on January 13th and will feature 20 different events, capped off by a $10,000 Championship Event. Players can earn their seat through several satellites that Cake Poker is offering.
Daily qualifiers for Cake Poker’s Aussie Millions promotion start as low as $1.10 and can earn a pleasant trip to sunny Melbourne for those who win a seat. Cake Poker is offering players a $14,000 prize package to the Aussie Millions Championship Event, which includes the tournament’s buy-in, a ten-night stay at the luxurious Crown Promenade Hotel in Melbourne, and $2,500 in cash to help with travel expenses. With the Aussie Millions so close, however, players will have to hustle to earn their seat, as the promotion ends on December 19th.
Cake Poker will also be offering its Turbo Gold Card promotion from now until December 12th. For players on the cash tables at Cake, the Gold Cards that they earn will come four times more often than normal. In conjunction with the Turbo Gold Card promotion, Cake will also offer the “Match and Win” promotion, where players can turn their Gold Cards into extra cash.
Finally, Cake Poker will continue the Champions League Tournament Series. The UEFA Champions League is the annual soccer competition for the top clubs in Europe. To commemorate the event, Cake Poker will host a nightly tournament on each day of Champions League matches on December 7th and 8th. Players who finish in the money in both tournaments will receive an extra $50 beyond what they earn for cashing.
Whatever players may be looking for, Cake Poker has it throughout the month of December. Visit Cake Poker for more details.
