The cherry on top of the cake is the fact that you will also be given $600 spending money.

Winning is quite simple, starting at the stroke of midnight on August 12th the race begins. The goal is to earn as many PartyPoker points as you can at real money tables between the start of the promotion and August 21st.

On September 4th at 2pm Eastern Time there will be a VIP Oktoberfest and Super Gadget Freeroll in which the top two places earn the remaining two trips to Germany. Among other prizes included are a multitude of Apple products ranging from Iphones, to Ipads, and even Ipod Touches.

More TITANic Promotion News
July 13th, 2011 by Kyle Silverberg
Slashing Rake
As if Titan Poker, one of the best remaining sites available for US play, has not been doing enough already they announce yet another promotion. This time they are cutting the rake on cash games by 50%. The promotion does not end at the reduced rake either, they are also setting high-stakes rake to be just $.10 per hand.
Titan Poker offered the following public statement in regards to their newest promotion:
“As part of its poker Rake Break promotion, Titan Poker has decreased the maximum rake cap by 50% at fixed limit tables on all games throughout the day. This reduction has also gone into effect all day long for No Limit Hold’em games with blinds up to $0.05/$0.10.
In addition, no rake is being collected for cash games with stakes of $25/$50 and above. Instead, there will be a fixed fee of $0.10 charged per hand, with the standard consideration of “no flop no drop.”
By The Numbers
Our friends at PokerNewsBoy.com put it like this…”Basically, a player who is contributing $.10 per hand to the rake will see their win-rate increase by $5 per 100 hands during the promotion. A heads-up player who is contributing upwards of $.50 per hand to the rake will be making a whopping $25 more per hour!”
This is a much needed boost in income for a lot of people, and for those that do not actually need it, it is just good to be able to make extra money by doing nothing differently. This promotion comes shortly after Party Poker had announced that they will be running rake-free tournaments for the summer. This is more than likely an effort to pick up the remaining Full Tilt players who have been legitimately left without a home after they have been forced to shut down.

No More Tournament Fees At Party Poker
July 4th, 2011 by Kyle Silverberg
Unexpected Change
Party Poker is one of those sites that has been in the online poker industry for as long as most of us can remember. It is a great site and in my opinion is a bit underrated. But to make them look even better, they recently announced that they would be doing away with all fees for multi-table tournaments.
The reason that this move comes as being so unexpected is because Party Poker earns a lot of their money from the entry fee that comes with tournaments. But the hope is that this promotion will bring players in to the site and keep them there after it has ended. It is a sign of a poker site who is on the move upwards, trying to become the poker room giant that it once was.
Party Poker ranked third in the industry as far as cash games go last year. So it is safe to say that they are not in dire straights and are most definitely not desperate for players, and with the pending collapse of Full Tilt, Party Poker will have the second highest cash game traffic behind only PokerStars. They are quite a ways behind PokerStars though. To put it in perspective, Party Poker averages about 4000 cash players every seven days, in that same amount of time, PokerStars brings in about 21,000 people. Party Poker has a long way until it is on the level of PokerStars, but promotions like this are going to help increase their traffic.

Rising to the Occasion
May 25th, 2011 by Kyle Silverberg
Rise Poker
With all the bad news surrounding the US online poker market, it is hard to find good news nowadays. With sites like PokerStars, Full Tilt, Absolute, and UB being pulled out of the US, one wonders who or what would fill that space. RISE Poker, a newly formed subscription site, will be offering their services to the US starting May 31st. Players will be able to make the choice of having a free membership or a VIP membership which runs at $19.99 monthly.
With the launch of the site (on May 31st), RISE Poker will be giving away over $100,000 in cash and prizes. The most coveted prize may be the seat at this years WSOP Main Event. And for every consecutive month, RISE Poker plans on giving out $100,000 in cash and prizes…indefinitely.
Rise Poker’s Executive VP of Business Development Steve Preiss put it best when he said, “The market could not be better for a new, innovative rake-free site to fill the massive void created by the US departures of the largest offshore online gambling sites. We want to obliterate what the market thinks of a typical membership poker site.”
Legal Poker
In 48 of 50 US states, subscription based poker is 100% legal. Rise Poker will be hosted by ZEN Entertainment Network and is a joint effort of Zen Entertainment and RISE Clothing. These two also join forces with poker talent agency, Poker Royalty.
ZEN Entertainment CEO Craig Billings was quoted as saying, “The RISE Poker group is comprised of the preeminent minds in poker today. Working with them represents an exciting endeavor for ZEN. We are impressed with how RISE Poker is going about building its brand and a unique, player-centric approach to its customers. ZEN looks forward to providing best-of-breed, rake-free poker software to power RISE Poker.”
RISE Poker plans on sponsoring an allotment of poker pros, and the first members are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Until that day comes, RISE Poker is saying very little about the pros. Preiss promises that there will be plenty of familiar faces in the newly added players.
