In keeping with a few recent promotions from companies looking to cash in on the upcoming soccer event known as the World Cup in June, UB.com in conjunction with Absolute Poker are cordially inviting new players to their online poker rooms, enticing them with a range of interesting and potentially attractive offers. New players to either site that fund a new account any time between April 25th and May 30th will be rewarded by being granted access to a whole range of what the companies in question are referring to as “New Depositor Freerolls,” which pack a combined prize pool total of more than $50,000 and include a 2010 World Cup VIP package which is valued at around $14,000.
For new players to UB’s web sites, there is much more than a warm welcome waiting, as the company has a range of exciting competitions including the $50,000 Soccer freeroll Frenzy, while Absolute Poker are offering a competition called the South African Soccer Spectacular, effectively one online promotion under two different monikers in which players in each card room at the CEREUS Network will put themselves in with an exciting opportunity to take their share of $50,000 in prize money throughout 33 New Depositor Freerolls.
Every day, from the beginning of the promotion at the start of May until it ends on May 30th, both UB and Absolute Poker will be hosting a series of tournaments that will be free to enter for those players making a first-time deposit at either of the sites or those players that put money into their accounts for the very first time by means of a player-player transfer. Additionally, each new depositor that takes part in the month-long promotion will automatically get a chance to participate in the Grand Prize $20,000 Freeroll that will take place on June 5th at 14:00, ET.
The winner of the first prize will receive what has been called “The Ultimate World Cup Package”, worth an estimated $11,000 as well as an extra $3,000 travel expenses to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this June. The following 99 places in the draw will earn those players occupying them cash payouts of $9,000. The winner of the top prize will also be able to take a guest to the tournament and will receive full VIP perks as well as match tickets to any two of the rounds of 16 games of the winner’s choice.
New users excited by the prospect of these prizes will find it fairly simple to get going: All they need do is to obtain a new account at UB by downloading the free software on-site, following the easy on-screen steps to deposit money and they start playing for free to put themselves in with a chance of winning a part of the massive $50,000 prize pool.
