Ultimate Poker Launches 2 New Promotions in NJ and NV

NJ double promotion to potentially boost trafficUltimate Poker’s traffic in New Jersey has gone from bad to worse over the past few months but judging by their recent marketing efforts and upgrades the company is certainly not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

On the heels of a major software update, and their “Cash Game Crazy” promotion (where players were capable of earning 100% rakeback at cash game tables in New Jersey until July 31) Ultimate Poker has announced two more promotions which will run alongside Cash Game Crazy in New Jersey as well as in Nevada:

  • The Big 10
  • Triple Play

Neither the new software update, nor Cash Game Crazy has been able to turn around Ultimate Poker’s traffic problems in New Jersey, but the addition of these two new promotions (which are certainly aimed at entry level players) in conjunction with their previous efforts could help move the needle.

Here is a look at the details of both promotions.

The Big 10

The Big Ten is a 10-event tournament series geared towards new and low-stakes players.

Each tournament will feature a $10 buy-in and have a guaranteed prize-pool of between $1,000 and $2,000, with a total guarantee of $15,000 placed on the tournament series as well as an additional $1,500 in leader-board prizes.

As mentioned above, the Big Ten will also feature a tournament leader-board where the Top 10 finishers will earn additional tournament tickets from the site  – the leader-board champion will have the option of taking $500 in tournament tickets or $250 in tournament tickets plus a special Ultimate Poker.

The Big Ten tournament series will run from July 13 through July 20 in both Nevada and New Jersey. Here is a look at the full Big 10 schedule in New Jersey:

The Big 10
Date/Time Event Buy-in Tournament Type Prize Pool

Triple Play

Triple Play is another promotion that seems to be geared towards new and recreational players, and draws on the achievement like rewards common in most social games – Achievement awards have started to invade online poker sites especially in the US and are mainstays of partypoker’s marketing efforts.

Triple Play will run from July 14 through July 31 in both Nevada and New Jersey, and requires players to achieve three separate missions:

  • Play in 100 raked hands at a Triple Play Ring Game Table
  • Win One (1) Triple Play Sit and Go
  • Win One (1) Multi Table Tournament (excluding satellites and Freerolls)

Here is a look at the Triple Play eligible games in each format:

Ring Games:

  • Triple Play 6Max $1/$2 NLHE
  • Triple Play 9Max $.25/$.50 NLHE

Sit & Go’s:

  • Triple Play $5 entry 9 Handed
  • Triple Play $20 entry 9 Handed

MTT’s:

  • Any regular buy-in MTT
  • Excludes Satellites and Freerolls

Any player that completes all three missions will be eligible for an equal share of a $10,000 prize-pool – Ultimate Poker is offering $10,000 in Nevada and a separate $10,000 in New Jersey. It should be noted that all rewards will be paid in U$.

The less players that complete all three missions means more money for the players that do. For instance, if 10 players manage to accomplish the feat in New Jersey they will each receive $1,000 in U$. If only two players accomplish all three missions than they will each receive $5,000 in U$.

Considering the paltry traffic at Ultimate Poker in New Jersey this promotion seems to have a lot of value.

Additionally, players can qualify multiple times by completing all three missions multiple times. So if all three missions are met 100 times and you have accomplished it 11 times yourself you would receive $1,100 in U$ ($100 per share x 11 times).
