The Big Deal is on at 888 Poker. The flagship site of its very own poker network, 888 is doling out a bounty of cash and prizes as part of its Big Deal promotion. There are coupons galore waiting for new and existing players in the 888 client. And don’t forget – you can add your 888 Poker user name to your PocketFives profileand any qualifying MTT scores will be tracked for the Poker Rankings. Let’s take a look at the latest from 888 and learn how you can get a free month of PocketFives Training to boot.

Let’s start with iPad 2s for new 888 Poker players. Just sign up for 888 using the promotion code IPAD4MEand you’ll get a seat into a beginners’ freeroll for a brand new iPad 2. The freeroll will come your way on October 25th at 19:00 GMT and you can find it by navigating to “Tournaments” and “All” in 888’s software. The buy-in to the freeroll is, as you guessed, free after you make a $10 deposit.

888 players can also double their money. When you deposit $10, you’ll get $10 free. If you sign up for 888 through PocketFives, you can reap a 100% bonus up to $600. Keep in mind that the regular bonus is 100% up to $400, so you’re getting a steal by signing up through PocketFives. Plus, new 888 users tracked to PocketFives get $8 free, which you can use in any way you see fit.

In one of the more unique promotions we’ve seen on an online poker site, 888 is offering a $20 shopping coupon for any of its female clientele that play 100 real money hands in a day at 888’s poker cam tables. You’ll literally be able to view your opponents at 888’s poker cam tables, which are marked with a special green camera icon in the lobby. When you play 100 hands, your shopping coupon will be sent to your inbox within three days.

All players who fire up 888’s felts four days per week and accumulate at least five status points per day will be eligible to enter a $3,000 Big Deal Freeroll. A “week” runs from Monday to Sunday, with the Big Deal Freerolls taking place on Saturdays at 19:00 GMT. Just remember to earn five points in a day in order to be eligible for this part of the Big Deal promotion at 888 Poker.

888’s marquee tournament is the $100,000 Sunday Challenge, which comes your way on Sundays at 19:35 GMT. This is 888’s Sunday Major and has a buy-in of $90. Last weekend, the $100,000 Sunday Challenge brought in a field of 889 entrants and the top 140 players finished in the money. The top spot was worth $22,000 and went to spey1, while n1Santa banked $14,000 for second place. Sign up for this week’s $100,000 Sunday Challenge by visiting 888 Poker.

Finally, we’d be amiss if we didn’t talk about Sam Holden (pictured), a member of the 2011 WSOP November Nine and sponsored pro of 888. The site ran a special $1,000 Sam Holden Bounty whose final installment took place today. Holden will return to the Rio in Las Vegas as the tournament’s short stack next month and hails from the United Kingdom. Look for more exciting promotions surrounding Holden and other pros at 888.
