Bodog Poker wants to send you to the 2010 World Series of Poker* in Las Vegas, NV. Four lucky players have already earned their selves a $12,000 prize package, including a $10,000 buy-in to the 2010 WSOP* Main Event. The next opportunity for players to win their way into the World Series Main Event is a big one. On Sunday, May 2 at 4:35pm ET, Bodog.com Poker will be running a $470+$30 buy-in satellite where another 10 Guaranteed Main Event seats will be up for grabs.

"I’ve proudly worn the red and black of Bodog Poker since signing on with them in 2005, and I can say from years of firsthand experience that there is no better way to experience the WSOP* than as a member of Team Bodog," says Bodog Poker Pro Evelyn Ng. "Most rooms will get you to Vegas and buy you into the Main Event, but that’s about it. With Bodog you’ll get your travel, accommodations and World Series Main Event buy-in covered, as well as some spending cash, loads of Bodog swag, a dedicated Team Bodog player handler to ensure you’re always well taken care of, and an invitation to the exclusive annual Bodog Poker Players & Pros Social – which has proven to be a uniquely amazing and memorable experience each and every year."

On April 25, Bodog Poker held its first Main Event Satellite of the year where four players – Andrew "Longhorn_99" S., Tay "Huestertay" N., Matt "farmslicer7" F. and Nandit "Riyan" M. – earned $12,000 World Series Main Event prize packages. Those four players got especially lucky as the first Main Event Satellite had a more than $10,000 overlay. On Sunday, May 2 at 4:35pm ET Bodog.com Poker will run its second Main Event Satellite, where an even bigger overlay is expected, giving players huge value for their buy-in buck as the satellite will put another 10 Guaranteed World Series Main Event seats up for grabs.

At Bodog, Poker players also have the ability to choose how they get into any of this year’s 10 Main Event Satellites. Players can buy directly in to a satellite for $470+$30, can earn a seat in the satellite by winning a $50+$5 Main Event Semi-Final, or can start with any number of $1+$0 Cheap Seat tournaments and work their way up to the Main Event satellite.

After coming in fourth-place in two World Poker Tour (WPT) tournaments and second in another, BoDog Poker Pro David Williams can cross yet another poker milestone off his bucket list – winning a WPT event. Best of all, of all the WPT events to win, William’s took down the most prestigious, the WPT World Championship, held at the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas this past week.

From the start of the tournament Williams’ was feeling good about his chances, so much so that in a post-victory interview with WPT.com, he said of his friends and family: "I told everybody to come down… I said I’m going to win today and I want everyone to be here with me and to experience it." Sure enough, win he did, and he did so while his mother lead a huge cheering section of his closest friends and family, including fellow BoDog Poker Pro Evelyn Ng.

William’s is no stranger to the Poker spotlight, having played in the biggest poker tournaments around the globe and some of the most popular Poker TV shows in the industry, but Williams’ truly cemented his status as one of Poker’s elite at the 2006 WSOP* where he won his first bracelet. Make this year your year. Qualify for the World Series of Poker* through BoDog Poker and you could be on the fast track to Poker superstardom.

Casino Del Rio, the first eco-friendly online casino, is celebrating its seventh birthday this Earth Day with special casino promotions.

With all the games one would expect to find at an online casino, Casino Del Rio has long added a unique ecological twist to the online gaming experience. Beyond a green themed website, designed to reflect the casino’s eco-friendly orientation, Casino Del Rio also pledges to plant a tree for every new depositing player.

While no Earth Day games per se are planned as part of Del Rio’s official birthday party, throughout the duration of the promotion (April 19th – 25th), registered players will receive an extra 100% on their first deposit of the day (every day), plus an additional 40% on every deposit made.

"As an online casino with an eco-friendly theme, it makes sense that Casino Del Rio actively participate in Earth Day events," commented Euro Partners Marketing VP Marc Kenigsberg. "Seeing as Earth Day coincides with the casino’s seventh birthday it makes all the more sense to celebrate with an extra bonus promotion."

Players who care about the environment are encouraged to visit Casino Del Rio this Earth Day where they can, in the words of the online casino "go green, play green and win green".
