Poker Stars Launches New Daily Freeroll

Saturday January 23, 2010

Poker Stars has announced a new daily freeroll tournament for UK and Ireland players where they will be adding £2,000 to the prize pool each day.

The new £2,000 giveaway tournament will run for six weeks, starting on January 22, 2010. The daily freeroll tournament will take place at 9.30pm GMT every evening and players will be able to re-buy for $50c. If players miss the 9.30pm tournament then they can always take advantage of another freeroll for £250 at 10.30pm.

Emma Crowe, Regional Marketing Director for Poker Stars comments: "The cold, dark nights of January and February are traditionally the most popular months of the year for online poker play. We feel that the new daily freeroll will appeal to a wide range of poker players. By adding £2,000 to the prize pool everyday for six weeks PokerStars are once again showing their commitment to rewarding players who use the world's largest poker site."

The announcement comes soon after Poker Stars announced the launch of the new UK and Ireland Poker Tour which began in Galway in December 2009 and makes its way across the Irish Sea to Manchester on February 11th - 14th.
