				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The name <a href="http://ultimatepoker.com/"><strong>Ultimate Poker</strong></a> will go down in history because they have become America’s first and only regulated online real money poker site. This is a huge and positive move for the poker industry. Finally the poker player can feel safe about playing cards again and will no longer have to worry about what country or city will host the event. Ultimate Poker is run by professionals in the Las Vegas area that no exactly what they are doing which explains why they are at the forefront of the new wave of <a href="http://www.bangthebook.com/poker"><strong>online poker sites</strong></a> that will originate from the United States.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ultimate-Poker.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-23184" alt="Ultimate Poker" src="http://news.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ultimate-Poker-300x168.jpg" width="300" height="168" /></a>The company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, which will always be known as the gaming and regulatory capital of the world. It was founded by four of the most well-known entrepreneurs in the city’s recent gaming and technology history. In 2011, Ultimate Gaming acquired CyberArts, allowing the company to create and preserve its own proprietary casino software complete with regulations. This paved the way to open the doors for poker players once again.</p>
<p>Ultimate Poker is a licensed online poker room, and they are using astonishing customer service and best-in-class rewards to lure the customer back to the tables. Ultimate Poker was created by online poker specialists with more than 30 years combined understanding of the game and they are firmly backed by Las Vegas gaming leaders as well as the local government so they will not be shut down for any illegal practices. They know exactly what the poker player expects from a real poker room and they bring it to life with Ultimate Poker. Ultimate Gaming, a majority-owned subsidiary of Station Casinos LLC, has launched real money online poker at UltimatePoker.com, making history as the first company in the United States to offer legal and secure online poker. Ultimate Gaming is a trend setter in a very new area that will soon to be very successful in the United States. Their goal is to create authentic entertainment experiences across online gaming platforms for all of the poker players that were discarded in the past.</p>
<p>Poker players rejoice, Ultimate Poker represents the future of online poker as we know it. It is time to pull up a seat and get back to what is important and that is playing poker and winning money without worrying about safety, government or any other distractions. Shuffle up and deal!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diamond Sportsbook is most certainly at the top of their game. Diamond Sportsbook also known as BetDSI is highly regarded as one of the best online gaming portals in the world. BetDSI is a global giant in the online gaming industry. Headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica <strong>BetDSI</strong> is a lynchpin of the gaming industry that other <a title="ONline Sportsbooks" href="http://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbook-review/"><em>sportsbooks</em></a> try to emulate when raising their game.</p>
<p><a href="http://betdsi.eu/online-pokerroom?cmpid=1288_5191"><img class="alignright" alt="" src="http://banners.betdsi.com/images/Poker Promotions_180_150_1.gif?cmpid=1288_5191" border="0" /></a>What most people may not know is the BetDSI also has an outstanding poker room. Known as DSI Poker, the poker room at BetDSI is elite and has a huge pool of players that love to sit at the table and throw some cards in the hopes of making some money. BetDSI is not settled with being the best as they like to ramp things up by offering tournaments and great Poker races.</p>
<p>With that in mind, if you love Poker you must enter and play “The Beast”. The Beast is known as the World’s First Progressive Rake Race, and it is exclusive to DSI Poker. The Beast was created by the genius management team at DSI Poker to find a way to completely change how players compete and are warded with big jackpots at <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">DSI Poker</span></strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bangthebook.com/go/dsi.php"><span style="font-family: Bangers,cursive; font-size: large;">Signup now with BetDSI Bonus Code: DSI100 and get 25% sportsbook deposit bonus, 100% Casino bonus and 100% Poker bonus! </span></a></p>
<p>Most Jackpots in poker rooms are popped or awarded on a rare occasion, but not the Beast. DSI Poker has set up this competitive tournament so the jackpot is up for grabs every month! This is unheard of in poker rooms and just another example of how DSI Poker is taking the gaming industry to an entirely new and epic level.</p>
<p>Players earn points in the poker room towards big money. The points earned get tallied as you play and earn you a spot on The Beast. The more points you collect, the higher you’ll climb up the prestigious leader board. At the end of the month, they reward dozens of poker players with hundreds of thousands of dollars based on their position on the leader board.</p>
<p><strong><em>Grab the 100 percent poker bonus and grab a seat at the table today! Can you tame the Beast?</em></strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>San Jose, Costa Rica – January 2, 2013</b> &#8211; The upcoming Online Super Series II in January might see some big names at the tables, including 3-time champion MamaCool. The poker player has done it again by performing the ultimate hat trick at Americas Cardroom for the third month in a row. He earned the top spot in The Beast, Americas Cardroom&#8217;s monthly points race.<br />
The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bangthebook.com/poker">online poker</a> player defeated The Beast in December and received $13,650 in extra cash plus a seat in a $75,000 Guaranteed event, just for playing online poker. The player mentioned that the prize arrived just in time for Americas Cardroom&#8217;s Online Super Series II starting January 13th.</p>
<p>&#8220;After conquering The Beast leaderboard competition in October and November, MamaCoolJ ended the year with a third straight victory under his belt,&#8221; stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. &#8220;This is not only a milestone month for MamaCoolJ, but it&#8217;s also a big deal for Americas Cardroom. A total of <b>$226,545.81</b> were awarded in tournament prizes and <b>$690,351.19</b> in cash prizes for a grand total of <b>$916,897</b> to close the year 2012. And that&#8217;s only 6 months worth of rewards since we first launched The Beast in July of 2012&#8243;.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" title="" href="http://record.secure.acraffiliates.com/_ME-SN0xQr-sAGLP28UEgc7Ll_hVfyFBg/1/"><img title="" class="alignright" style="width: auto; height: auto;" alt="" src="http://www.americascardroom.eu/media/images/banners/2011/10/005/acr_234x60.gif" width="" height="" border="0" /></a>With over 17,000 points separating 2nd place performer mbolt1 from the first place spot, a 3rd victory was claimed by MamaCoolJ. According to Harris, MamaCoolJ has played over 800,000 hands in the last three months alone.</p>
<p>The Beast is Americas Cardroom&#8217;s progressive points race that&#8217;s funded entirely through the poker site&#8217;s jackpot tables, using players&#8217; shared jackpot contribution money. At the end of each month, the prize pool in The Beast is distributed to players who rank on The Beast leaderboard.</p>
<p>Anyone who sits down at a cash table marked Jackpot automatically becomes part of The Beast competition by earning points through participation in a raked hand. While more points are earned at higher stake levels, everyone participating in the same raked hand earns the same number of points—regardless of how much rake they contributed to the pot.</p>
<p>MamaCoolJ is one of the 574 poker players who shared in The Beast&#8217;s more than $176,000 cash and tournament prize pool for December. The prize pool included over $134,000 in cash and more than $41,000 in seats to Americas Cardroom&#8217;s signature $75k Guaranteed Beast Tournament, set to take place on <b>January 13th at 6:00pm ET</b> during the Online Super Series.</p>
<p>The $1 million guaranteed online poker series features 82 events spread out over two weeks. The series will culminate in a $200,000 guaranteed tournament, with $75k, $100k, and $150k tournaments thrown into the mix, too. The series also includes leaderboard competitions with extra prizes on the line for the top performers in the series. OSS II runs from January 13th through January 27th.</p>
<p>More details on The Beast and OSS II are available at AmericasCardroom.eu.</p>
<p>About Americas Cardroom:<br />

Buy-ins are $1,500 + $150 to the main event, but &#8230; <a href="http://news.bangthebook.com/2012/08/17/qualify-for-the-punta-cana-poker-classic-right-now-with-bovada-sportsbook/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the best poker players in the world are going to be assembled at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in October a the epic Punta Cana Poker Classic. Buy-ins are $1,500 + $150 to the main event, but you can qualify right now through September 16th for a spot in the big show for less than a single dollar!</p>
<p>So how does it work? $1,500 (plus the $150 rake) will earn you a spot in the Punta Cana Poker Classic as long as you have the bones to do just that. There is a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000, though the pool could grow significantly higher than that depending upon the number of entrants into the game. However, if you&#8217;re like most of us and you can&#8217;t just afford to drop $1,500 on a poker tournament but still want to play, <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbook-review/bovada.php">Bovada</a></strong> has just the answer for you.<br />
<iframe style="border-width: 0;" src="http://ff.connextra.com/BOVADA/selector/client?client=BOVADA&amp;placement=Poker_PuntaCana_250x250&amp;cxt_aff_id=jMvr4Ye1VlORhRyYoxgVQJB4ODAMiRKy" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="250" height="250" align="right"></iframe></p>
<p>Putting out a much more reasonable $325 will earn you a spot on a satellite table. Winning at one of the satellites will earn you a one-way ticket to Punta Cana for a tournament that it would normally cost you $1,650 to be able to get into. Still not good enough for you? A $22 buy-in gets you into a semifinal table, and winning that table can send you to the satellites. Or, you can start back at $3.30, try to win there, head into the semis, and take a long road to get to the Caribbean. But for an even tougher road to get there, you can take up a cheap seat in an initial qualifier. Just $0.66 buys you a seat into one of those tables, and though it takes winning four different tournaments in a row to get the job done, it&#8217;s still most certainly possible if you&#8217;ve got the skills and the luck to do so.</p>
<p>Bovada <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbook-review/">Sportsbook</a></strong> is still offering up another 20 guaranteed slots from now through September 16th for the Punta Cana Classic. All of the final satellites are played on Sunday afternoons each week from now through the middle of September. There are a guarantee of five slots per week, though more are possible depending upon the number of qualifying, quarterfinals, and semifinals tournaments that have been played leading up to that point.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t just a buy-in that you are getting if you win though, and it makes the temptation to play in this tournament as big as could be. Bovada Sportsbook is hooking you up with a six-night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel &amp; Casino, ground transportation, $1,800 for travel and meal expenses, and the buy in to the event. All told, that&#8217;s a $6,000 package that you can get for literally 0.01% of the price if you can win those four tournaments in a row!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not having luck at the multi-table tournaments or just prefer the settings at the smaller tables or cash games, you&#8217;re not out of luck. Bovada Sportsbook is also doing a drawing on September 16th for the right to go to Punta Cana for all of its other players as well. Simply sit down at any sit and go tournament table or cash game table and earn 75 points to get your spot in the drawing.</p>
<p>What else does 75 Poker Points earn you? $10 cash back! In fact, you can get cash back up to $150 before this promotion ends. For every 75 Poker Points you earn, you&#8217;ll get a $10 bonus and an entry into the drawing to go to Punta Cana. You can also get into this drawing by referring a friend to Bovada Sportsbook. Whether you are referred by a friend or are the one doing the referring, you&#8217;ll get 10 entries into the prize drawing, plus Bovada&#8217;s normal $100 bonus for referring the friend to its sportsbook. The more friends you refer, the more chances that you have to win!</p>
<p>Bovada Sportsbook is offering a 50% <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbook-review/sportsbook-bonus-codes.php">sportsbook deposit bonus</a></strong> up to $250 as well through customers of Bang the Book. Don&#8217;t miss out on this opportunity to get a free deposit bonus, entries into the Punta Cana grand prize drawing, or all of the satellites to get into the biggest poker tournament in the Caribbean! But act fast, as this promotion ends on September 16th.</p>
