888 Poker has just introduced Teams Poker, a promotion based on European football teams. In 888 Poker’s Teams Poker, players can win money for supporting their favorite teams in some of their biggest matches, including teams in Barclay’s Premier League from England, La Liga from Spain and Bundesliga from Germany.
Throughout the entire football season for each of these leagues, 888 Poker has scheduled an online poker tournament for each of the league’s big matches. These events all have a $0.99 buy-in and a $100 prize pool. When you join any of these tournaments, you’ll be asked to select one of the two teams competing in the actual match corresponding to the event. If your team wins the tournament, you win money however you individually finish in the event. On the first of October and the first of November are also special teams poker fixtures called the Zodiac Wars: Battle of the Star Signs.
888 Poker is also hosting weekly tournaments for each of the three leagues. The weekly Barclay’s Premier League event takes place every Monday at 19:40 GMT; the weekly Bundesliga event takes place every Sunday at 19:40 GMT; and the weekly La Liga Challenges take place every Thursday at 19:40 GMT. These events feature all the teams from each league. They are played just like a normal 888 Poker tournament, except that half the prize pool is split amongst the players in the winning team. That means even players who bust out of the tournament can still wind up in the money.
