One of the more unique poker promotions we’ve seen in a while is currently playing out on bwin, which is giving its members an opportunity to train with and meet one of the world’s top football clubs, Real Madrid. The final chance to score a prize package comes your way via a $25 tournament that will be held on Tuesday, January 24th at 21:00 GMT+1. The event has a standard payout plus a Real Madrid prize package that will be given to the winner. Let’s take a closer look at what’s up for grabs.The Real Madrid meet and greet prize package includes lodging at a posh hotel, breakfast each morning you’re there, transportation, access to the Valdebebas training center, training with Real Madrid, personalized Real Madrid gear, and even a city tour. We can’t recall the last time we’ve seen a once-in-a-lifetime promotion like this, so visit bwin for more details.
If you don’t want to fork over $25 for the direct tournament buy-in, you can play in freerolls on Sunday and Monday at 19:00 GMT+1. These completely free tournaments award five tickets for the final on Tuesday and another 25 tickets to a $1 qualifier that also takes place on Sunday and Monday. These $1 tournaments give away one ticket for every $25 in the prize pool. Your final path to qualify for the final is by playing in $5.50 tournaments that award one ticket for every $25 in the prize pool.
On the overall experience, text found on bwin’s website explains, “What you win from the prize pool is intended to cover travel and spending money. The rest of the experience will be added on top. You can bring a guest, but only you will receive custom gear and get to try out the pitch.” So, if you’re a fan of football, this is definitely one promotion you won’t want to miss.
On the horizon on bwin is the eighth Grand Series of Poker, or GSOP. There are 18 open events with nearly $3 million in combined guaranteed money, along with a Grand Slam Final that you can qualify for by finishing in the top 100 in a special GSOP leaderboard. The kickoff tournament takes place on February 26th and is a $200 Hold’em Deep Stack event with $500,000 in guaranteed prize money.By the way, bwin also runs Last Chance Qualifiers to GSOP events. On these, bwin’s website notes, “Ideal for those who want to wait until the last minute. Qualify via one of the Last Chance Qualifiers, which will be running on the day of each Main Event.
