What’s better than the Super Bowl half-time entertainment? Winning $250k by playing poker.
Start practising your poker face because some of the biggest online poker rooms are hosting a $250,000 GTD Tournament over the Super Bowl weekend.
Show up the NFL athletes using tactics in the ring to win a share of $250k at Ignition, Bovada, and Bodog.
Players from around the world can sign up to their preferred site and qualify, or buy their way straight to the main event.
American poker players can qualify for $250k tournament
Online players in the US can make their Super Bowl weekend superb by qualifying for as low as $7.70 for the Main Event on February 3 – or you can buy in for $325 – to win guaranteed cash prizes.
How to qualify
You’ll need an account with one of the sites hosting the Tailgate Edition of the $250k GTD tournament, and we recommend American poker players opt for Bovada. The poker room runs on USD, and you can claim a 100 percent poker bonus up to $500 when you first sign up. It’s important to note you can’t use the bonus money to qualify for the tournament.
