TitanPoker and the World Cup 2010

If you’re not a sports fan this summer, you’re probably locked away in a cave somewhere. Even during the normal off-season period, there’s a whole cavalcade of sporting contests around every corner. Alongside the likes of the World Series of Poker, sits the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This month-long soccer tournament allows disparate people from across the world to come together and cheer on their teams to glory. Poker sites have been quick to get in on the action, no more so that Titan poker.

Titanpoker is running a Million Dollar Football promotion, where skilled players with an eye for picking results could walk away from the World Cup $1,000,000 richer. A World Cup match is chosen every day for users to predict the result. To be in with a chance of making the right choice, you need to start playing poker. Each player can make one prediction for each match, but to get involved they need to earn betting tokens. You have 48 hours before the kick-off of each game to play enough raked hands or pay enough in tournament fees to earn betting tokens. These kinds of innovative promotions help make Titanpoker one of the top texas hold em sites in the world.

Not all of these tokens are the same. The more poker you play, the higher you’ll progress through the four different ranks of token. You can’t get these tokens on any of the Titan casino online slots games, just in the poker room. The minimum requirement is 100 raked poker hands of Low Stakes, 30 hands of Mid/High Stakes, or $15 in tournament fees. For all that, a Bronze token is yours. If you really put in the hours, you could pick up a Platinum token. This requires you to record a whopping 3000 Low Stakes hands, 1000 Mid/ High Stakes, or $500 in tournament fees. To be sure you’re playing in the right games, it’s important to know which stakes fall into which category. For Fixed Limit games, between $0.25/$0.50 – $1/$2 counts as Low, while anything above $2/$4 is Mid/High Stakes. For No Limit Texas Hold em hands, and other games, it’s a little different, with Low Stakes starting at $0.10/$0.20 – $0.50/$1.00 and High stakes at $1/$2 plus.

Every outcome of the chosen match will have a Sit & Go dedicated to it. Select the correct level and the result you are predicting and register for the tournament. Whether you win or lose or get the prediction right or wrong, there are prizes to be won. For Bronze players, if you make the right choice and come first in the tournament, you’ll be gifted entry to a $3,000 freeroll, but losing the tournament and predicting wrong will still get you into a $1000 freeroll event. It’s the same story all the way up to Platinum, where a correct prediction and S&G victory will net you $150, while picking wrong and failing to win is still worth $40.

Any true football expert could be in for some really huge rewards. If you make at least 11 correct predictions during the group stages of the World Cup, you can win $7,500. Make a total of 15 and you’ll pick up $75,000. The Knockout stakes are even more lucrative, with prizes between 7 ($7,500) and 10 ($25,000) correct results. If you’re really talented, you might be able to predict either 24, or the full 25 outcomes. If you’re lucky enough to pull it off, you’ll win $250,000 and $1,000,000 respectively.
