Extension for gambling videos

02/14/2008

PlayersOnly.com online casino and poker room is extending the entry deadline for their fun $10 000 video contest on YouTube.com. Video clips showing what it takes to be a "player" can now be uploaded until March 15 to YouTube.com/Group/UnleashThePlayer.

"As word of the contest has spread, we've been getting lots of inquiries," said PlayersOnly.com manager Dave Anderson. "We think it will be worth the wait to give these guys a couple more weeks to get their video clips uploaded."

The promo video for the contest, featuring PlayersOnly.com hostess and Playboy/FHM model Carrie Stroup, has been online at YouTube for a few weeks and is becoming a popular clip. Stroup, whose animated image welcomes players to the video-rich PlayersOnly.com casino lobby, is already a favourite with YouTube viewers for her Benchwarmer Girls and RipeTV appearances. She shot the promotional video for the contest at Venice Beach several weeks ago.

PlayersOnly.com invites contestants to submit video clips showing themselves and their friends demonstrating what it takes to be a "player". Or, for perhaps a bigger laugh, showing the exact opposite. Pay tribute to successful, confident players you admire, or parody wannabe players that just don't get it. Secrets for success, sleezy pick-up lines, tongue-in-cheek dress-to-impress wardrobe tips – anything goes. The winner will receive a $10 000 prize and a night out with the site's sexy hostess, Playboy/FHM model Carrie Stroup.

Americans over 18 with a video camera, an idea and a sense of humour can enter the free contest at the "PlayersOnly Unleash the Player In You Video Contest" page on YouTube, YouTube.com/group/UnleashThePlayer. Contest entries are available for viewing there and viewers are invited to assist the judging by making their own comments.
