Exclusive Qualifer Poker Tournaments for NEW Players!

by Bodog Poker | Sep 17 2009

Bodog Poker has finally opened their cyber doors to Canadian players and new memberships are on the rise. To enrol as many new players as possible they're cranking up the bonuses for anyone who decides to join Bodog Nation. Bodog is going all-out to put down the red carpet for the new players coming from Canada and elsewhere in the world. On most sites new player bonuses usually only consist of some bonus money that has to be earned though rake. Besides a $110% sign-up bonus, new players at Bodog will get a bunch of opportunities to play in qualifying tournaments for big events.

Once a new player has signed up they will automatically qualify to play in three special tournaments per week for two weeks. That's six chances to win your way into a big event that could launch your bankroll into the upper levels. The qualifier tournaments will be offering one seat for every $162 in the prize pool for the $100K Guaranteed on Sunday at 4pm. The second to 17th-placed finishers will get a $17 seat into a $100K Semi Final tournament. It's essentially a second chance at getting into the big one.

It's important to read up on the rules for these events so you don't miss out on your opportunities. Invitations to these exclusive tournaments are not transferable to other players, and new players cannot carry over unused invitations to participate in subsequent weeks if they somehow can't participate during their invited weeks. The invites will come the following week after a new player signs up and the qualifiers must all be played in the two weeks following their registration.

The Bodog $100K has become a talked-about event in online poker circles. Bodog guarantees the $100K each week, and some of the overlays have been in the tens of thousands of dollars. That means a big prize pool with a much shorter field than you would normally have to battle against to get to the money. Playing the six free qualifiers will also get the new players acquainted with how the weekly $100K Semi-Final tournaments play out, providing valuable experience for the many qualifier-filled weeks to come.

There's no special amount of money that a person has to buy-in for to get the tournament invites sent to them from Bodog. Even if they only buy-in for the minimum amount, they still get to play in six qualifiers once they join. But you don't get a second chance to get them, only new players will get the free chance to get into the weekly $100K.
