New players at Titan Poker have the chance to compete in special races for beginner players which will see $500 of cash prizes given away every week over.
If you’re not yet a member of Titan Poker then you can take advantage of their new $500 Beginners Races. Over the next three months every player that signs up at the Titan Poker website will automatically have the chance to win a share of $500 in cash prizes every week.
The idea is to create a fun environment for beginners where they will have the chance to win money without being intimidated by more experienced players. Each week between Monday and Saturday online players will be ranked based upon the number of games they have played at beginner’s cash game tables. The top one hundred players will receive a share of the cash prize.
The leader board will be updated every thirty minutes so at any moment players can log in to see how they are doing in the rankings. Prizes begin at $1 and first place on the leader board will receive $35 at the end of the week. Last week’s winner was BlackJMM14 who had 4269 points on the leader board.
Upon signing up players will also receive a 100% bonus up to $500 on their first deposit. Players also receive four free tokens which allow them to participate in their regular $2,500 New Depositors Freeroll tournaments.
Titan recently launched another season of their MT3 Multi-Table Tournament races and will be offering players the chance to win $150,000 in prizes and a number of World Series of Poker experience packages.
The tournament races begin on the February 1st and will continue until the end of May. Each race will award $12,500 in cash prizes every month to players who rank the highest on the MT3 leader boards. Players are awarded points for each multi-table tournament they participate in based upon a formula that considers their finishing position and the number of players. When the leader board positions are calculated, the player’s best twenty results from the previous month will be taken into consideration.
They are reserving $100,000 in prizes for the final leader board which will consider players’ tournament play over the previous four months. The top twenty players will receive a $5,000 WSOP Executive Experience package which includes flights to Las Vegas, hotel accommodation, buy in to the one of the WSOP side events, tickets to a Cirque Du Soleil and many more luxurious benefits.
