Following the announcement last Friday that the owners of Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker have been accused of alleged bank fraud, illegal gambling offences and money laundering in an indictment unsealed by United States federal prosecutors, Poker Heaven would like to confirm that we have always complied with all International laws, including the passing of the US UIGEA back in 2006, and we remain fully regulated and licensed within the European Union.
We have successfully been processing online payment transactions since 1998 and continue under our Maltese gaming license to offer a safe and secure platform to play online poker on.
Based on the restraining orders that have also been issued against 76 bank accounts in 14 countries used by the accused poker companies and their payment processors, we appreciate that members of these rooms will today be looking for a new place to play the game of poker that we all love, and we appreciate the importance of the decision every player has when choosing where to continue playing online.
With this in mind we have launched a variety of new promotions that cater for new and existing players of Poker Heaven, with E175,000 being given away in freeroll tournaments over the next 2 months.
New players can now claim a 200% first deposit bonus of up to E1000 with lower clearance requirements and an extended clearance time compared to before. The bonus code is P1000 and it has to be entered while making the first deposit. Payout: E5 for every 100 FPP earned. This corresponds to up to 20% rakeback on top of the flat rakeback of 30%. Players now have 60 days to clear the bonus after deposit.
For all new players, we are running E10,000 first time player freerolls for each of the next six Mondays, with the first tournament taking place on April 25th. All you have to do to qualify for one of these freerolls is to play one raked hand at anytime, and you will automatically be registered into the following week’s tournament.
Poker Heaven is also proud to announce the launching of a E100,000 freeroll series, where the final will take place on Sunday, June 12th, with a maximum 3,000 players. During the next 8 weeks 15 qualifying tournaments will take place, with E1000 up fro grabs in each one and the top 200 players qualifying for the final in June.
And if that wasn’t enough, we will also be running WSOP Main Event satellites, where we will be guaranteeing one seat to the $10,000 main event, to be held at The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas , from July 7th. Satellite tournaments will be added to the Poker Heaven lobby over the coming days.
Finally, we will be adding new high value MTTs with low buy-ins, which will include a E10,000 guaranteed tournament with a E5+50c buy-in, taking place at 18:00 GMT every Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday, as well as a E5,000 guaranteed tournament with a E1+10c buy-in, taking place at 18:00 GMT every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. For Omaha players we are also including a daily E2,000 Omaha guaranteed tournament, with a E10+E1 buy-in, starting at 19:30 GMT.
Colin McCreadie, Head of Poker at Poker Heaven, commented: “We can fully appreciate the frustration and distress that players who hold accounts with the rooms hit with legal action from US federal prosecutors must be feeling right now, which is why we have decided to add such a wide range of high value promotions to our offering, with several of these promotions now live in the room. Our sole aim is to offer our players a safe and secure environment to play online poker, while also giving them entertaining and engaging promotions to participate in, and that will continue to be our approach now and always.” |
