Freeroll Your Way to Fame at Hollywood Poker

By Sarah Polson

Hollywood Poker brought back its Freeroll Your Way to Fame promotion for another year, promising to award free seats to the World Series of Poker Main Event once again.

The promotion began March 19 and will run through May 31 with a weekly freeroll for depositing players running each Saturday at noon (EDT).

The freerolls require no fee or points to play; according to Hollywood Poker, they are simply a special "thank you" to all of the poker site's depositing players. And that "thank you" comes with a $300+$20 qualifier ticket to get the freeroll's winner into three weekly WSOP Package give-away events.

The rest of the players in the weekly freeroll final table will also receive a $30+$3 qualifier ticket, giving them a free shot in the WSOP qualifier event.

Hollywood poker has a couple different WSOP packages up for grabs. The first is the $16,000 Premium Package that includes:

• $10,000 WSOP Championship buy-in
• 12-day extended accommodation at the Venetian
• Airfare
• Transportation
• HollywoodPoker Clothing and Merchandise

The site also has $13,000 WSOP Side Event packages that have all the same travel and accommodation coverage, but give the winner $8,000 for WSOP side tournament buy-ins instead of a Main Event buy-in.

"It's all about star treatment at Hollywood Poker, and this is our way of rewarding loyal members who do what they love with us," said Vince Van Patten, Hollywood Poker spokesperson.

Poker players at Hollywood Poker will want to sign up for the weekly freerolls quickly. Space is limited to the first 4,000 players to sign up, and there are probably a lot of players hoping to get their hands on a qualifier ticket to potentially win one of nearly 40 WSOP packages offered at the poker site.
