Please note: This promotion has ended.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a professional poker player? Did you ever wish someone would give you a chance to prove just how good you are at the poker tables? Now is your chance!

GR88 Poker, the US friendly online poker room on the Merge network has announced it’s brand new program that is staking online poker players and giving chances to not only build a free bankroll, but to become a sponsored poker player on GR88 Poker! Read below to see how you can become the next staked player on one of the most dynamic online poker rooms available!

Here is how to apply for the Bankroll Builder Stake program at GR88 Poker:

Open an account at GR88 Poker here. (You must use this link to participate)
Send an email to GR88 (bankroll@gr88.com) along with your player name. Tell them why you feel you should be considered for the stake program (your player stats, highlights of your poker playing, accomplishments, etc)
The Management of GR88 Poker will select 100 players to receive a stake of $20 to begin.
If you are selected, you will receive an email from GR88 prior to the start of the competition to inform you that you have been selected to compete.
Players will play using their $20 to build their bankroll. Then, after 1 month the top 20 players will move on to the next level of the promotion.
From the top 20 poker players, GR88 Poker will stake each of them with an additional $200 to compete for an additional 2 months in a VIP challenge.

1st place in the second stage will earn a $5000 Cash payday in their account plus he or she will earn a Pro Sponsorship from GR88 Poker, 35% rakeback and a possible $5400 in VIP cash bonuses!

The 2nd – 8th place players will receive 35% rakeback on GR88 Poker and will also be considered for a Poker sponsorship with GR88 Poker.

Each month as players reach the following VIP tiers below they will also receive the associated VIP cash bonus added to their bankroll to play with during the promotion. What ever is left of the bankroll at the end of the contest period goes to the player. If you are not chosen for staking by GR88.com in either the 1st or 2nd round, you may fund yourself for the same amount ($20 or $200) and participate on equal terms as the staked players. You are able to re-buy into the promotion should you lose all of your staked bankroll. The re-buy is at your own cost and the re-buy can only be at the same amount as the level you are playing in (e.g. $20 in first round, or $200 in round two).

As for the 80 players that did not advance to the 2nd round, they will be allowed to keep their stake, although the stake cannot be withdrawn until after the promotion ends, and after they have raked at least $20 at GR88 Poker (or earned 200 VIP points).

The top 20 players will also be able to keep their stakes plus any VIP cash bonuses, but cannot withdrawal until the end of the contest.

Please note, players who participate in the Build Your Bankroll promotion are not eligible to participate in the cash chase during the same months as the Build Your Bankroll promotion. After a player is no longer participating in the Build Your Bankroll promotion they will then be eligible to participate in the Cash Chase Promotion in future months. Click Here to get staked now!

The wait is over! Intertops Poker announced today the launch of their new US friendly poker room on the very popular Cake Poker Network! The former Microgaming poker room has officially closed and the doors have been swung wide open for US players to enjoy the games at one of the longest running online poker rooms in history!

And for players that have accounts at Intertops, you can log in to the new software with your existing Intertops account information! And yes, all your funds move right along with you!

The news comes just one week before two of the larger poker rooms on the Cake Network are to move to Merge Gaming taking thousands of players away from the tables. With the addition of Intertops poker, we would expect to see very little change in the player liquidity after the moves of Sportsbook Poker and Players Only set to happen on the 15th of April. In fact, even though the announcement by Intertops is only trickling out right now, the player volume at the Cake network is higher than it had been in the past months. With the addition of the 16 year old Intertops, the action at the tables should be juicier than ever! Get your Intertops account here!

For existing players at Intertops, all you have to do to convert is:

Click here to go to Intertops and then click the download link.
Complete the download and install the software like any other Cake poker room
Log in with your existing Intertops account info. If you forgot it you can request the info from Intertops.
Create your table name and select an avatar, adjust your settings, etc.
Go to any cash table and take a seat, your cash will be ready to play with.
Extra bonus offer: Make a first deposit and redeem bonus code "PPUS600" to get a 110% poker bonus up to $600 FREE!

For new Intertops accounts, the setup is very similar, just follow these easy steps:

Click here to go to Intertops and then click the download link.
Complete the download and install the software like any other Cake poker room
Click on the "Create an Account link at the poker log in screen.
Create your table name and select an avatar, adjust your settings, etc.
Make a first deposit and redeem bonus code "PPUS600" to claim your 110% poker bonus up to $600 FREE!

In addition to the first deposit poker bonus for all players, Intertops Poker is also treating all players to:

Regular Reload Bonuses
$6 Million in Monthly Tournament Guarantees
Unique Gold Reward Program.
Rake Races ($150,000 in April)
Satellites to various live and online events.
Predictions of over 10,000 active players during peak hours.
Players from the US are welcome.
One account for all products – Same username and password for Poker, Casino and Sportsbook. All you have to do is download the new poker software to enjoy all the action!

With this sudden influx of players to the tables, it looks like the Cake network will continue to enjoy rather soft play and expanding bankrolls for the average poker player.

It really seems that about every online poker room is having rake races now. You know, where the top positions get paid cash for raking more than other players. It’s a pretty good deal, I mean after all, you are going to be playing anyway, may as well get paid some extra cash to do what you love doing.

Well, PokerNordica is no exception, they have been holding rake races for a long time, they were running two races, one for cash game players and one for Sit N Go players. These are still running and pay out on a monthly basis. But if you are anything like me, you want faster paydays. PokerNordica answered the call and now has weekly rake races that pay out a $200 prizepool over the top 5 players each and every week! And, US poker players are welcome to join!

The weekly rake race runs from Midnight (PokerNordica Time) Sunday until Midnight the following Saturday. What is really great about the weekly rake race is that as you climb the weekly leaderboard, you will also be climbing the PokerNordica monthly leaderboard and that has a $1000 prizepool attached to it and pays out to the top 50 places with 1st place winning a $260 cash prize!

The benefits of playing online poker at PokerNordica don’t stop with the rake races either. When you sign up to PokerNordica you can take advantage of our exclusive 200% poker bonus up to $400 FREE! That is twice the bonus that you would normally earn. Just use the PokerNordica coupon code PPUS when you make your 1st deposit to triple your money. And as a extra benefit of using our exclusive bonus, make your deposit with any ewallet, you’ll get an extra $20 up front in your account! This is in addition to the 200% bonus!

While you are playing poker and climbing the leaderboard, why not try out playing at the Bad Beat Jackpot Tables? If you are playing at one of the special bad beat tables, and your hand of quad 7′s (7777) gets beat, you will take your share of the Bad Beat jackpot! Right now the jackpot is at updating…

Download the free poker software today and start climbing the leaderboard today! Remember, US poker players are welcome to play at PokerNordica!
