Titan Poker has announced extra benefits for its loyal players in March, and this is in addition to its extremely popular cash table races and Club Titan VIP Club.

Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network, will give players twice as many reasons to play in March with its newly launched Spring Poker Madness promotion.

Spring Poker Madness is a promotion available to all Titan Poker players and is bound to be especially popular. During March, Titan Poker will double loyalty rewards for all its players. This is exciting news, as the doubling of loyalty rewards means more benefits, and subsequently higher cash outs. The Special March Loyalty Points Bonus will be issued to players at the beginning of April 2009.

Spring Poker Madness comes in the wake of the recent launch of Club Titan, Titan Poker’s exciting and generous VIP Program. The Club Titan program is simple and easily understood and rewards are available to all players, novices and big-time poker enthusiasts alike.

In addition to the VIP promotions, all Titan Poker players are currently participating in the highly contested February $1,500,000 Race, in which over $1,500,000 in prize money has been set aside for cash table poker players. Players are also vying to win a seat to Titan Poker’s biggest tournament ever, the $2,500,000 Guaranteed, which will be staged on March 8, 2009.

The ECPokerTour Salzburg 2009, in its unique Austrian Alpine setting, takes place between between April 3rd-5th 2009 and offers players unrivalled luxury and a shot at poker glory.

The hills will be alive with the sound of shuffling chips in April when the ECPokerTour Salzburg, descends upon the picturesque Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley in Austria for three days of poker, fun and luxury.

Fans of live tournament poker are once again in for a treat as players from all walks of life will gather at the new five-star Alpine Palace Card Casino to compete for the coveted ECPokerTour title. Players from Europe, Scandinavia, Asia and Canada have already secured their seats, and this is largely due to the support from sponsors Titan Poker, Europe’s leading online poker room, where players have regular opportunities to win sensational $4000, all-expenses-paid, prize packages to the tournament.

The Salzburg meet is only the second in a series already regarded by many as the most prestigious new tournament series on the European poker circuit, and with a prize pool equally as stunning as the mountain views – the competition this time around is sure to be fierce. The ECPokerTour opened at the lavish Casino Gran in Madrid in May 2008 to critical acclaim. Players reveled in the atmosphere and culture whilst battling it out for the 40,000 Euro Grand Prize in the Spanish capital. The top prize and the title were eventually won by young Canadian player Greg Metzak in a highly charged finish to the landmark event.

Players can expect more of the same but on a grander scale as they prepare for Salzburg. Outdoor pursuits and extreme sports in the snow will take a back seat as the eyes of the poker world stay fixed on the felt for the duration of the main event.

To date, 42 of the coveted prize packages have been won by online poker enthusiasts. One delighted winner from Norway was thankful to sponsors Titan Poker “for giving me the opportunity to travel to Salzburg for this exciting event. The qualifier was nerve-racking at the end but I kept my cool and made it through. This will be my first live tournament and I will do my very best.”

Titan Poker is offering players three chances a week to win luxury ECPokerTour Salzburg prize packages with its ECPokerTour Salzburg Super Satellites, staged every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday until March 25th 2009. Players can qualify with direct buy-ins starting at $40+$4, or win super seats at any of Titan Poker’s qualifying Sit’N’ Go and satellite tournaments for as little as $0.55+$0.05.
