In the aftermath of Black Friday, European online poker sites are beginning to step in and take full advantage. Today, PaddyPowerPoker.com has launched an array of bankroll benefits and offers for disgruntled Euro players, upset by the shutdown of poker sites in the States.
On Friday, Apr. 22, not only will the Irish Open be kicking off at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, but there will also be a $100,000 guaranteed at PaddyPowerPoker.com.
For those now looking for a new place to play, the site is increasing its First Deposit Bonus from $600 to $1,000, and there will also be a daily $1,000 First Depositors Freeroll. For those who have already deposited, there are two $5,000 freerolls taking place on Apr. 22 and 23.
Players, new and old, have two more chances to qualify online for the Irish Open €3,200 + €300 main event. Tonight, Apr. 19, at 8.30 p.m. there will be 5 seats guaranteed in a €250 + €25 freezeout, and tomorrow, Apr. 20, at the same time, there will be a €300 + €20 freezeout offering 10 seats.
Spokesman for the company, Paddy Power, said, “With the upcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth and President Barack Obama to Ireland we thought we’d get into the spirit of co-operation by offering a helping hand to poker players looking for a new home.
“As a public limited company with over two decades in the business we’re as solid as the proverbial rock and with marquee events like the upcoming Irish Open to help us create a great community we’re sure the Queen of England and the President of the U.S. would approve of our magnanimous, bankroll boosting offers.”
