WSOP - VEGAS DREAMERS

****PROMOTION HAS NOW ENDED!****

With so many of our players out in Vegas enjoying their ‘Vegas Dream’ package and all the great fun that goes along with it, here at Ladbrokes we thought we should give something back to our players left back at home….

So, for all you Vegas Dreamers who may be feeling a bit left out, we have a mini series of tournaments with hundreds of guaranteed prizes and it’s all available for FREE!

This great promotion starts on Wednesday 1st July until Sunday 5th July and we’re running 4 ‘Vegas Dreamers Freeroll’ events and a ‘Vegas Dreamers Main Event’ all with fantastic added prizes and tournament entries to be won.

Every ‘Vegas Dreamers’ freeroll has hundred prizes with a value of almost €1000! A little taster of what to expect from the fantastic new MTT schedule….

How do I take part?

Each day we will publish the password for our Vegas Dreamers freeroll tournaments in the ‘Video of the Day’ from Vegas. Simply remember this easy password and use it when prompted to enter our freeroll tournaments each day at 19:30 BST, which will be located in our Tournament lobby under specials, just look for ‘Vegas Dreamers’.

If you win any of the 96 free tournament entries (except the first four places) you will be automatically entered into the relevant tournament exactly one week later. If you are in the top four places, you will be automatically entered into the Vegas Dreamers Main event on Sunday 5th July at 16:00 BST. If you win the first place prize you will also be entered into the Killarney weekly final on Sunday 5th July at 20:30 BST.

For example: If you finish in 86th place in Thursdays tournament you will be automatically entered for the €750 guaranteed High Stack tournament at 20:15 BST on Thursday 9th July. So, you can still be a winner at 86th place with Ladbrokes Poker and it’s all for FREE!
