Global e-commerce payment provider Ukash has joined forces with online poker site PokerStars.com to offer players an alternative means of cashing up new gambling accounts, and first time European users are being offered a promotion to use it.

First-time Ukash users in Europe can win a seat to the European Poker Tour’s San Remo event next month. The seat will include an all expenses paid trip with flights, accommodation and spending money.

“This is an exciting chance to offer Ukash users a once in a lifetime opportunity to play poker alongside poker's elite,” said Mark Chirnside, CEO for Ukash.

“By partnering with PokerStars.com to offer first-time Ukash depositors such a valuable prize, we hope to show players across Europe the benefits of using Ukash as they join the millions of consumers who already use cash to bet online.”

A Pokestars spokesman in the Isle of Man said: “Providing Ukash as a payment method on PokerStars.com has introduced a new demographic to our site, the cash customer.

“Thousands of our players benefit from using Ukash, an easy system for depositing money when betting online, and we look forward to working with Ukash to give one lucky customer the chance of a lifetime, to play poker alongside the world's best.”
