written by: Will under News Comments: Comments Off

If you have a Bwin account that’s been sitting idle in favor of your PokerStars and Full Tilt accounts, now might be the time to log back on. Bwin Poker is currently offering their members the opportunity to win seats in the 2011 World Series of Poker. The promotion runs from now until June.

Dozens of entry packages to both the WSOP Main Event and a variety of side events are available. The prize packages are completely inclusive, with tournament access, a temporary stay with the Bwin pro team, numerous planned activities in Las Vegas and various other VIP perks.

Until June 5th, Bwin members can enter daily qualifiers that lead to additional satellites, with final table winners earning Main Event seats. Buy-ins start at only $2.20, and a $15,000 prize package is guaranteed in each final.

Daily qualifiers are also being offered for side events, with each final guaranteeing two $3,600 prize packages.

The players who qualify are also eligible for weekly freerolls set to take place each Saturday during the promotional period. These tournaments will lead to a Freeroll Final on June 4th, which will contain three of the $3,600 side event packages and two $15,000 Main Event packages.

Players who display consistent success throughout the tournaments but fail to score an outright win are also eligible for Bwin’s WSOP prize packages, thanks to an overall Leaderboard Challenge and bi-weekly leaderboards set to run from April 4th through May 28th.

The promotion will culminate on June 5th, when Bwin will offer an $11 buy-in tournament with two more Main Event packages and three additional side event entry packages. The satellite tournaments that lead to this event can be entered for as little as $1.20.

Though competition is sure to fierce, the sheer of volume of prize packages will certainly attract plenty of new members to Bwin’s already healthy online poker player base.
