16th July 2010 – I’m sure you saw our announcement about Betfair Poker 2 earlier this week, whereby, as part of an ongoing effort to improve our poker offering, Betfair will be implementing several changes and improvements to its service this Summer. One key change sees Betfair no longer operating as an independent poker network, but instead moving onto the Ongame Network. To celebrate we are giving away $500,000 on the site starting Monday.

Save the dates in your diary and put on your best poker face for the following promos:

$60k Points Race (goes live Monday 19th July)
Cash prizes up for grabs on top of your loyalty reward.
Show us what you’ve got at the tables and play your way to the top of the Points Leader board. Finish in the top 100 for a share of $60,000, and keep your sights set on the first prize of $10,000 in cash that you could receive on top of your current loyalty reward. Visit Betfair for details.

SnG ROI Challenge (goes live Monday 19th July)

Prove your skill in our Silver and/or Gold ROI SnG tournament leader boards running from the 19th of July to 8th of August 2010.
To take part in this promotion simply opt-in here and play at least 35 SnG tournaments at the relevant levels to get your name featured on the leader board(s). Your first 35 – 70 SnG tournaments played during the promotional period will determine your final leader board result.
