Exclusive $24k Package for Europe's Most Prestigious Poker Tournament from PokerListings.com and Betfair Poker

Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles (PRWEB) June 17, 2008 -- While the original World Series of Poker* in Las Vegas is currently in full swing, poker players across the globe know there's still another prestigious series to be played this year - the WSOP* Europe, set for Sept. 19-Oct. 1, 2008 in London, England.

As the official presenting sponsor, Betfair Poker (http://ads.betfair.com/redirect.aspx?pid=5622&bid=1823) is the only place for players to qualify online, which for PokerListings.com players (http://www.pokerlistings.com/betfair-poker) means an extra-exclusive upcoming freeroll.

Action is set to go July 13, 2008, with the freeroll winner taking a $24,000 package for the 2008 WSOPE* main event, including the massive £10,000 buy-in plus travel expenses and accommodation. An extra $6,000 in cash will also be spread to a deep prize pool.

"Anyone who has been following this year's series coverage (http://www.pokerlistings.com/live-tournaments/wsop) in Vegas has to be as caught up in the thrill and excitement that comes with the World Series as we are," says Hannah Mayen, media relations director at PokerListings.com.

"It's been a stunning tournament to this point, with so much great poker, so many worthy champions and so many incredible stories. And it's not even at the halfway point," continued Mayen. "As the inaugural World Series of Europe showed last year, the same holds true across the pond and we can only expect the same in London."

The exclusive freeroll is open to all players signed up at Betfair Poker via PokerListings link, new or existing, who earn just 1,000 Betfair Poker points between April 1 and June 30, 2008.

Also available for PokerListings.com players at Betfair Poker: Monthly $2,500 cash freerolls and a world-best sign-up bonus of up to $1,500 at 100% - almost three times the standard bonus of up to $600.

The $1,500 sign-up bonus is available to all new players who sign up via PokerListings link with bonus code PL1500.

The monthly cash freerolls are open to all PL players who earn 100 Betfair Points in a month; next two are scheduled for July 20 (for June qualifiers) and Aug. 10 (for July qualifiers), both at 7 p.m. (GMT).

"With our typical World Series freerolls averaging between just 100 and 150 players," adds Mayen, "this is, unquestionably, one of the best value freeroll offers in online poker."

"Those who know online poker also know, as is the PokerListings norm, this is an unmatched deposit bonus at one of the best poker sites on the planet. From a value standpoint, it just makes sense to be a PokerListings player, wherever you choose to play, and we'll continue to make sure our players are always in with the best of it."
