CakePoker Holding Gold Spree In February
CakePoker is holding a Gold Spree for the month of February. Available to each and every player on the site, the CakePoker Gold Spree allows players earn up to 300% more monthly rewards!
As if Gold Cards, Gold Chips, and Gold Stacks rewards weren’t enough, Feb. 1 – 28, 2010, the CakePoker Gold Spree promotion is offering bonus chips to all!
The structure of the Gold Spree promotion divides the month in half – with your performance in the first half determining your rewards in the second half. The ultimate goal is to qualify for the CakePoker Gold Spree Kamikaze tournament.
- The first half is called the Play Spree. Based on their status level, each player in the CakePoker rewards program has to earn a certain amount of FPPS between Feb 1 and 14 to win any a bonus being free entry into a $25,000 guaranteed Kamikaze tournament, with a top prize of $5,000.
- But if you do better than that, say you get 25% over your goal, you get the Kamikaze entry plus a 50% bonus on all the FPPs you earn in the second half of the promotion.
- The second half is called the Reward Spree, andt takes place from February 15 to 28. If you reach double the FPP quota set for you, then you get a 300% bonus on FPPs earned during the Reward Spree.
The Cake Poker Kamikaze tournament takes place on February 17, and pays out the top 200 players a share of the guaranteed $25,000 prize pool.
A Kamikaze tournament features speedy poker games, in which every player is forced all-in each hand until only one player remains.

SportsbookPoker And PlayersOnly Going To Merge (Gaming Network, That Is)
Most poker sites are part of a network. There’s the iPoker Network, headed by TitanPoker; there’s the CEREUS Network, headed by UB.com and Absolute Poker. And there’s the Merge Network, with sites including AcedPoker, CarbonPoker, IronDuke, PokerNordica, and ReeferPoker. The latter of these, Merge Gaming, is about to get a little bigger.
It seems the New Years resolution for the Merge Network is expansion, and they’re wasting no time, having already added PokerFantasy to their roster and about to add two new sites in a matter of a couple of months (April to be exact). Those sites are Sportsbook Poker and Players Only (both of which offer online casino gaming and online sports betting in addition to online poker).
Sportsbook Poker and Players Only Poker are making the move to Merge from the Cake Poker Network, headed (obviously) by Cake Poker, but also including many other top name sites, including the esteemed DoylesRoom (the official poker site of Doyle Brunson), as well as StryykePoker, LockPoker, and PokerHost. Seems a risky tradeoff, with Cake being the more successful of the two at the moment, but at least Merge does have a weekly running average of nearly 250 players, and upwards of 500 at peak times, which is not too shabby for a mid-size poker network.
Says Roger Whitaker of Jazette Enterprises, parent company of PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com:
“Our goal is to provide our players with the best poker experience possible, which is why we decided to make this move. We’re confident that our players will enjoy the groundbreaking features, generous loyalty rewards program, and improved overall playability that Merge’s poker software provides.”
Doyle Brunson Poker Site Offers Bonus Rewards In Gold Spree Contest
The Doyle Brunson poker site is giving away bonus rewards! In February 2010, DoylesRoom.com poker players can earn up quadruple the Gold Chips than usual in the Doyle’s Gold Spree contest.
This month, the Doyle’s poker rewards program is giving away more Gold Chips (the currency for DoylesRoom poker), that can be redeemed for Doyles Brunson Poker prizes, free tournament entries, and more! You can earn Gold Chips by playing in real money cash tables and tournaments at DoylesRoom.
The Doyle’s Gold Spree is divided into two parts, each lasting two weeks:
- Part I, the Play Spree, lasts February 1 – 14. During this period, you’re trying to reach a set amount of Gold Chips, determined by your status in the DoylesRoom VIP program.
- The higher your level, the more Gold Chips you have to earn, yet higher rewards are available to you.
- If you don’t accumulate your set number of Gold Chips between Feb 1 and 14 then you are not eligible for any bonus whatsoever.
- If you do reach your goal, then you get a free seat in the Gold Spree $25,000 Kamikaze online poker tournament. If you surpass your Gold Chips goal then you get to move on.
- Part II of the promotion, the Reward Spree, lasts February 15 – 28. During this period, you can earn a bonus on all Gold Chips earned, based on how much you beat your Gold Chip target by during the Gold Spree Play Spree.
But that’s not it! Part II provides even MORE reward bonuses:
Doyle’s Gold Spree Bonus Rewards: Beat your target by 25%, you get a 50% bonus on all Gold Chips earned Feb 15 – 28. Beat your target by 50%, get double the FPPs you earn. Beat your target by 75%, and earn triple the FPPs. Earn double your target FPPs and get quadruple the points!
