$30,000 in Extra Gold Card Rewards at Intertops Poker This Month

23 April 2013 (St. Johns, Antigua) – A sweet deal just got sweeter. Intertops Poker already surprises players with seemingly random Gold Cards so unsuspecting players can find themselves with a nice bonus any time, even after their first hand, even if they fold.  This month Gold Card collectors will be competing against each other in the Gold Card Race for additional weekly prizes of up to $500.
 

Every Wednesday until May 7 the top 200 players for that week will receive cash winnings totaling $30,000.  The next weekly race 3 begins tomorrow, April 24 and continues until April 30. The fourth and final race will be May 1 – 7.  General terms and conditions apply.

Gold Cards are released every time a table reaches a pre-determined rake amount. Although they’re therefore released more frequently in higher-limit games, they are awarded at all levels and stakes. The value of each Gold Card depends on how it’s used. Some players like to redeem them for instant cash while others use them to buy-in special Gold Card Tournaments.

Every Gold Card earned is worth 'miles' on the leaderboard. The higher the value of the Gold Card, the more miles that are earned and Intertops Poker multiplies it based on table-stakes. Players can check their Gold Card Race standing anytime by clicking the Rewards tab in the Intertops online poker room.

Rakeback is Back at GR88.com -- $100K Race for Riches Also Starts Friday

29 May 2012 (London, UK) – Rakeback is once again available to GR88.com poker players effective this Friday, June 1st. As it was before the program was cancelled last month, GR88 players can once again have up to 35% of their rake refunded.

“We weren’t happy that we weren’t able to offer new players a rakeback option any more,” said GR88’s Poker Manager, “So we’re very glad that the Merge poker network has brought it back!”

“Anyone that registered at GR88 in May can have rake back added to their account if they want. It just takes a quick note to support@gr88.com and we’ll take care of it right away.”

Rake is the commission an online poker room earns on its games. Some poker rooms, like GR88.com, reward regular players by refunding a portion of the rake.

Friday also marks the start of the $100,000 'Race to Riches' rake race at GR88.com. This month, four week-long rake races will each award $25K to the players at the top of the leaderboard that week. Race points will be multiplied in ten designated tournaments each day. Race points will be multiplied by 1.1 up to 2 when playing in designated tournaments.

GR88.com Poker offers Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud and Draw and has a Badbeat Jackpot currently approaching a quarter million dollars. Using a single wallet, GR88.com players can also enjoy hundreds of casino games from Microgaming and CTXM or bet on thousands of sporting events including in-game betting.
