European consumers that deposit at Poker Stars for the first time using Ukash during March will be entered into a special freeroll competition due to take place at the end of the month with the San Remo seat up for grabs. Players should enter the promotional code ‘UKashSR’ when depositing while the one-off freeroll will also have €1,500 added to its prize pool.
“This is an exciting chance to offer Ukash users a once in a lifetime opportunity to play poker alongside poker's elite,” said Mark Chirnside, Chief Executive Officer for Ukash.
“By partnering with Poker Stars to offer first-time Ukash depositors such a valuable prize, we hope to show players across Europe the benefits of using Ukash as they join the millions of consumers who already use cash to bet online.”
Last year’s San Remo tournament saw 1,177 players take part to create a total prize pool of €5,713,300. In the end, 20-year-old Amsterdam native Constant Rijkenberg beat Finland's Kalle Niemi heads-up after six hours to claim the title and its €1.5 million prize.
“Providing Ukash as a payment method on Poker Stars has introduced a new demographic to our site, the cash customer,” read a statement from Isle Of man-licensed Poker Stars.
“Thousands of our players benefit from using Ukash, an easy system for depositing money when betting online, and we look forward to working with Ukash to give one lucky customer the chance of a lifetime, to play poker alongside the world's best.”
