On June 9 bwin Poker launched a promotion that will run through July 11 called the World Cup $1,000,000 Challenge.

To participate in the bwin Poker World Cup Million Dollar Challenge, you simply need to acquire betting tokens during the promotional period and then use those tokens to accurately guess the results of the various matches in the 2010 World Cup in Johannesburg South Africa, which just started on Friday, June 11 and runs through Sunday, July 11.

Each betting token qualifies a player to compete in a single One Hand Heads-Up Sit & Go tournament. For each match of the 2010 World Cup, three such Sit & Gos will be held, one for each team competing (which represents that team winning the given) and a third representing a tie.

A bwin Poker player places their bet by using the token to enter the respective One Hand Heads-Up Sit & Go representing their bet. Prizes are awarded based on a pair of factors, namely: whether the player entered the right or wrong Sit & Go, and whether the player won or lost the Sit & Go they did enter. The more matches the player accurately predicts the results of, the more money from the prize pool they are eligible to split with the other players who achieved the same accomplishment.

The qualifying period to earn a betting token toward the bwin Poker Million Dollar World Cup Challenge is two days (48 hours) prior to the start of the game they wish to bet on.

So far in the opening weekend of the 2010 World Cup, Ghana beat Serbia, Slovenia beat Algeria, and the U.S. and England tied. That gives Serbia and Ghana the lead with 3 points each and puts England and the U.S. in second with 1 point each.

Most of the sports enthusiasts of the world are fond of soccer, a game that promises the thrill of competition, plenty of excitement, wealth, and fame. A number of soccer teams are currently getting ready to fly to South Africa to participate in the prestigious World Cup Soccer Tournament, which offers a chance to one talented team to emerge as the champions.

bwin Poker seeks to reproduce the excitement of this prestigious soccer event by offering a thrilling two-week long poker event called World Cup Warm Up. The site hopes to provide its loyal poker players, who also happen to be soccer enthusiasts, the thrill of competition similar to that of the World Cup Soccer Tournament right in the comforts of home.

The World Cup Warm Up will last for two weeks, providing plenty of poker action and excitement and the unique opportunity for talented bwin Poker players to fight for the championship title. However, just as a soccer tournament allows only one champion, this bwin Poker event also permits only one talented poker player to emerge as the champion.

bwin Poker will first organize 4 World Cup Warm Up Semi Finals at 8 pm on May 5, May 27, June 1, and June 3. These semi finals will help talented players to qualify for the prestigious and lucrative World Cup Warm Up Finals. In the first place, bwin Poker will classify interested players who wish to participate in eight groups from A to H based on their geographic locations. Four players of each group can qualify for the finals. Each lucky semi final winner will receive an attractive cash prize plus a ticket to the finals.

The World Cup Warm Up Final will be organized on June 5 at 8 pm with a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000. Players who enjoy the competitive spirit of the World Cup can fight for the title of champion at this awesome World Cup Warm Up event organized by bwin Poker.

bwin Poker is also offering exciting promotions such as Chip Chaser Sit & Gos, Weekly Country Showdown, and Contender Series, giving players the exclusive chance to win plenty of cash.

bwin Poker, a popular gaming portal in the UK and Europe, recently put up a small but exclusive poker game for the stars of the MotoGP. World renowned racers like Marco Melandri, Colin Edwards, Alvaro Bautista, Mika Kallio and Randy de Puniet were invited aboard the bwin Poker Yacht and represented several Motor companies like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Pramac.

These five MotoGP stars who may be participating in the upcoming Gran Premio bwin de España, sat down at the poker table to try their luck at cards. bwin has been one of the official sponsors of the MotoGP for the past six years and hosted this little game aboard the yacht a few days before the race.

These players took jet skis up to the yacht which was in the Puerto Sherry region and an exciting game of poker was started. The game, which was a bout of Texas Hold’em, was won by Colin Edwards from the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team, who proved he was just as good at poker as he was at winning on the race track.

Play Poker Aboard a Luxury Yacht

Last year, bwin had hosted another game of poker at the Sky Platform where the players rode up to the venue on motor bikes. This year, it was about the sea and poker and allowed the MotoGP stars to relax and unwind away from the race track.

Alvaro Bautista, from the Rizla Suzuki team, said, “This was for sure a good way to fill up with some extra energy, disconnect and get away from the pressure at the circuit for a couple of hours… Here you also have to concentrate hard but in a completely different way. Here you can sit back and think about your next move. On the track it all happens faster, right in front of you.”

Players who want to be watch the Gran Premio bwin de España and play poker aboard a luxury yacht should get involved in the Poker Night promotion hosted by the site which will take place on Friday.

Marco Melandri from the San Carlo Honda Gresini racing team seemed to be very enthusiastic about the upcoming race and went on to give out some tips on what he believed to be the outcome of the race.

Can you remember? Can you remember when we were little kids and became excited each and every Easter when it was finally time to go and search (and subsequently eat) the Easter eggs our parents carefully hid before? While most of us stopped living out this custom at some point in our lives (at least the active part of it), bwin Poker lets you relive the hunt for Easter eggs. At least digitally.

What we are talking about here is a unique – and admittedly somewhat weird – poker tournament. It will take place on the 4th of April at 21:00 (GMT +1) and is called the $10,000 Easter Egg Hunt. You can find the tournament in the lobby of bwin Poker by going the the scheduled tournaments. You can register for a buy in of $10+$1. So far so good and still nothing weird about it, right? Well, here it comes:

While you will fight for each and every final position that you can gain in a regular tournament, the pay out structure of the $10,000 Easter Egg Hunt tournament is somewhat different. As in all other poker tournaments the winner will of course get the highest amount of prize money ($1,950) – places 2 to 10 however will only receive $50. If you finish eleventh you will be rewarded with an Easter egg in the form of $1,240! This structure goes on until a finishing position of 161 which will still earn you $80. To make it short: Every tenth position will receive such an Easter egg while all the positions between will earn between $15 and $50.

You will in any case receive more than your buy-in when finishing in the top 161 but you should preferably try to end up at one of the mentioned places to get rewarded with an Easter egg. If you think you can win it all, by all means play for the win. If for you ending in the top 50 is already a big success, why not try going out at 41, 31, 21 … At any rate this poker tournament is something very different. Give it a try (unless you are out there looking for real Easter eggs that is)!
