Cake Poker Brings Back Match & Win and Turbo Gold Cards Promotions[ return to main articles page ]

Cake Poker has brought back two of its most popular promotions in April, offering thousands of dollars in cash and prizes to its valued members. Since April 1, players have been able to earn double Gold Cards with the "Turbo Gold Cards" promotion, plus earn cash and prizes by redeeming their Gold Cards with the "Match & Win" promotion.

Through the end of the month, Turbo Gold Cards will hit cash games twice as often between 6-8 a.m., 2-4 p.m. and 8-10 p.m. GMT. Cards can be redeemed for cash or prizes such as an Apple iPad, a 50" television or even a DUCATI Superbike.

Gold Cards can also be exchanged as part of the "Match & Win" promotion. For April only, players can return the Gold Cards they earn for cash, tournament tickets and Gold Chips by matching their cards to the Match & Win game board located in the Rewards section of the Cake Poker software. If a player matches a combination of Gold Cards displayed on the game board, he or she wins that prize instantly. Once the end of the month hits, the game board prizes are no longer valid.

Both of these promotions are built around Cake Poker’s Gold Card Rewards Program where ring game players earn randomly-released Gold Cards as they play. Players can collect these cards until they choose to redeem them in one of Cake Poker’s daily Gold Card tournaments or sell them for cash at The Exchange, a player-to-player marketplace in which players can buy and sell Gold Cards.

Cake Poker is also bringing back its qualifiers for this year's 42nd annual WSOP in Las Vegas. The world's largest poker series will feature 58 events, including the $10,000 Main Event beginning on July 7 and running through July 19. Last year, PocketFivers earned more than $25 million in cashes at the Rio Hotel and Casino. Fourteen members won bracelets, and John $JMONEY$ Racener took home $5,545,955 for his runner-up finish in the Main Event in November.

Players at Cake Poker can qualify for the Main Event in a series of multi-table tournaments with a final qualifier awarding the winner a $13,000 prize package that includes the tournament buy-in as well as travel accommodations and spending money. The multi-table qualifiers can be found throughout the week with super satellites running hourly, semi-final qualifiers running daily and the $490 buy-in final qualifier running every Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

For those aiming a little smaller, a $2,500 Vegas Spree prize package is also up for grabs through daily Sit-n-Go step tournaments. Players can win as many of each of these packages as they want and then use the cash however they wish, whether it be dining at 4-star Vegas restaurants or buying into smaller WSOP events. Vegas Spree qualifiers are running daily with step qualifiers ranging from a $2 Step 1 Ticket to an $873.33 Vegas Spree Final Ticket.

Satellites for both formats are running daily with buy-ins for as little as $1.10 and can be found “Satellite” section under the “Tournament” tab in the Cake Poker client. The last chance to win a Main Event package will be Sunday, June 19.

PocketFivers can earn a 110% signup bonus up to $600 and 33% rakeback when you sign up for a Cake Poker account through PocketFives.

Cake Poker happily accepts players from the U.S.
