The National League of Poker (NLOP) has not wasted any time in gearing up promotions following its reverse merger with Power Play Development and subsequent publicly listed status last week
The company, which claims startling growth of 750 player signups a day, has launched Poker and Pigskin to run weekly through to January 8th, 2007. Registered contestants enter various NLOP poker contests and accumulate poker points as a reward for skillful poker play. Any consumer who is 21 or older at the time of registration can enter the Poker and Pigskin Tournament, with no purchase required.
“With companies such as Party Poker abandoning the US market because of the recently passed Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, millions of poker players are looking for a new home,” said Michael Clebnik, COO of Power Play. “Our hope is that they will join the tens of thousands that have already found NLOP.”
“NLOP allows registered users the opportunity to win cash and prizes without gambling,” explained Roy Evans E-gaming VP of NLOP. “Our advertisers and sponsors cover the prize awards and our players are afforded a free-to-play US-legal online poker experience. The Poker and Pigskin tournament series is our best ever with more than 4 000 prizes,” continued Evans. “We are introducing Big Money Mondays, Double Shoot-outs, Mega point qualifiers, sponsored invitation only tournaments, and Hall-of-Fame monthly trophies for best overall play.”
Over $35 000 in cash and prizes will be awarded during the 10-week promotion including a $10 000 Seat to the 2007 World Series of Poker. NLOP will give away hundreds of dollars in cash prizes everyday.
