- reload bonus of 25% up to $250
- $2.5 million guaranteed in Sunday Million
- $1.25 million guaranteed Sunday Warmup
- $150k in milestone hands
For the player who finally reaches the 25 billionth hand, the money is going to get huge...

World Series package
World Championship of Online Poker Main Event ticket

We will have banners in rotation soon, and there is a countdown in the lobby showing how close we are until the 25 billionth hand.

Best,
Carly

Carly, how long do you think it will be before the 25 billionth hand is dealt roughly? Also, how many milestone hands are there?

Just figuring out how much time I would have to do something with it.

Hi,

There are milestone hands for every millionth hand dealt.

We expect it to be early next week, but the promotion has really taken off, and we are hitting all sorts of peaks with this, so could be even earlier.

Thanks,
Carly

Hi Carly,

The new first depositor banners seem to be copied from the last promo and contradict what I'm saying on my site. They say 20 days / $75k for the first depositor freerolls whereas it's 8 days / $60k as far as I can tell - or have I missed something?

[Carly]

Hi!

Yes, the new banners are being uploaded right now, so since they are in rotation, and we only got new banners for certain sizes, you may still be seeing the old banners.

The new ones have fireworks, and were produced in the 5 most used sizes.

Thanks,
Carly

Cool... seeing the banners now... Thanks Carly!

Great promotion! Thanks Carly.
