Global Player continues to hold online events that are the closest thing yet to "our" style events online. This month, they're getting closer yet. September 16th is the 5th anniversary of their launch date, and they're celebrating with a week of special offers. For our interest, here's the most important: They're having a blackjack tournament with a $5000 First Place prize. This one isn't free, unlike their usual events. Instead, there's a $30 entry fee. However, there's one big new development... After an initial qualification period, the top 25 players will advance to a semifinal round that's played just like a land-based elimination style tournament! That's right, five tables of real-time semifinal action, with the top player from each table advancing to the finals. To qualify, you'll need to play during the qualification period Sept 13th through 17th. The 25 players with the highest percentage win get $100 bonus and a seat at a semifinal table. A leaderboard during qualification will tell you where you stand. Here's the link: Global Player Just for reference, here's a quick summary of the other promos that week: New players can get a $50 bonus instead of the usual $30. Existing players get a 50% bonus on deposits up to $500! Five times comp (cash-back) points. This makes some VP positive. Roulette tournament with $1000 first place. Five VP tournaments, with $500 each day and $5000 grand prize. Rebate of 15% of any losses that week If you've been putting off checking them out, this is the best deal they've ever run. If this is your first time purchasing at an online casino, I recommend signing up with Neteller, which is sort of like PayPal. Start today, because a free deposit into Neteller from a bank account takes a week or so. You'll want to be all set for the promotion week.
Global Promo Sounds like some nice opportunities. Making the top 25 shouldn't be too difficult in the BJ tourney. With .2% cash back (X5), the triple play vp looks inviting as well. Are the promo dates 13th-17th? With the $500 bonus and a little luck, maybe I can recoup some losses.
Actually, the 5x comp points runs from the 13th to the 19th. Other players note: The normal cashback rate is 0.1%. For VIPs, the cashback is doubled to 0.2%. I actually haven't thought to ask whether the VIP rate will be 1.0% or 0.5%. I've been assuming 1%.
