Online poker site teams up with poker media authority to create THE LEAGUE
Los Angeles, CA – Broadway Tables, providing the very best in online poker, has teamed up with the marketing geniuses at PokerRoad to create the first online poker league of its kind. The league will have 8 tournaments per season, with the first event on August 8 being a freeroll to win entry into the first league tournament on August 15. For entry into the freeroll a player just needs to follow the sign up instructions ACR Poker. As long as you use the code FTR600 when signing up you will automatically receive a seat at the freeroll. Space is limited to the first 150 players.
What separates THE LEAGUE is that players are accessing a legitimate prize pool within the confines of a fun, weekly recreational league.
“PokerRoad is ecstatic to be able to begin a new, dedicated league that offers incredible value, as well as the ability to bring players together from across different online play platforms. We’ll be offering leaderboards and the ability to win some real money, along with prizes, which will be sure to solidify THE LEAGUE. Get on this!” said PokerRoad’s Joe Sebok.
According to Broadway Table’s Brian Hendricks, “Up until now, leagues have not been supported by online sites and as such have suffered in their prize pools. With the support THE LEAGUE is getting from both PokerRoad and Broadway Tables, players can enjoy the comradery of a league while actually playing for something real.”
THE LEAGUE tournaments have a $33 buy-in with significant value in cash and prizes.
