There are 267,000 cards still up for grabs as part of the PartyPoker Card Rush Instant Win promotion. It sounds like a promotion associated with scratch-off lottery tickets, but PartyPoker has put a unique spin on instant win games.
Earning Card Rush cards is simple. All players have to do is hit the felts on the world’s fourth largest online poker site. For every 20 Party Points earned on real money ring game tables, a person will earn a special Card Rush card. Each card comes with a one in three chance of winning a prize, including freeroll entries, Party Points, and up to $50,000 in cold hard cash. Players can nab the first card for just 10 Party Points to get their adventures started off on the right foot.
There are two freerolls associated with the Card Rush Instant Win promotion on PartyPoker. A $10,000 freebie takes place at 12:00pm ET on September 5th. Three hours later, a $5,000 Card Rush Freeroll will pan out on the age-old industry site. Players can accumulate as many Card Rush cards as possible. However, the promotion ends at 11:59pm ET on August 31st or after one million cards have been given away, whichever comes first. At the time of writing, just 267,000 cards are still available in what has been a frenetic pace since the promotion began on August 3rd.
A press release distributed by PartyPoker noted that several of the cards come with a $5 reward. Players must visit their Party Account in order to reveal the contents of their cards and unrevealed cards will be forfeited at the conclusion of the promotion. Text found on the popular online poker site cautions, “Any Party Point awarded during the promotion can be used in our store, but will not count towards your loyalty ranking or any bonus release requirements.” Party Points will not be removed from players’ account balances once they redeem Card Rush cards.
PartyPoker is the fourth largest online poker site in the world, according to PokerScout.com. It boasts a seven day running average of 4,650 real money ring game players with a 24 hour peak that is nearly double that amount. At the time of writing, which is 5:30pm throughout most of Europe, 6,081 cash game combatants have taken to its virtual felts. On the first Sunday of every month, PartyPoker’s tables come to life with the running of the Monthly Million. The $640 buy-in tournament awards at least $1 million and kicks off at 12:45pm ET. Qualifiers start as low as $1, with direct satellites beginning at $35.
The Monthly Million boasts a Championship blind structure. Players begin with a stack of 20,000 in chips and blinds commence at 25-50, increasing every 20 minutes. There is a break after every three levels and antes kick in at the start of Level 6, when blinds are 250-500.
The site is doling out $13,000 packages to the PartyPoker World Open V, which includes the $10,000 buy-in to the Main Event, seven nights’ accommodation in London, and $1,000 in spending money. The triple stack PartyPoker World Open V will take place from October 11th through 15th in the storied European city.
Every Sunday at 2:15pm ET, PartyPoker hosts a $700 buy-in World Open V satellite. One in 20 players in the high-stakes tournament will walk away with a trip to London. Satellites begin at $3, with direct qualifiers taking place daily at 2:25pm ET. The buy-in for that event is $75. PartyPoker, which features Poker Hall of Fame nominee Mike Sexton as its ambassador, does not accept players from the United States.
