Paradise celebrates parent company's birthday

The Prize Money

By Sarah Polson

Sportingbet is celebrating a decade of success this year, and Paradise Poker will help it along with several promotions giving away millions of euros.

With 10 years under its belt, Sportingbet has a lot to celebrate, and its poker site Paradise Poker has no qualms dishing out lots of extra cash for the party.

The fun starts October first with the kickoff of the €10+€1 with €10,000 added tournaments. The tournaments will run daily from Oct. 1 through Oct. 10.

The schedule of events is as follows:

Date Time (GMT)
Oct. 1 5:10 p.m.

On Oct. 10, the poker site will also host a €10,000 freeroll for poker players. The only requirement needed to enter is to have 10 raked hands.

Oct. 10 isn't the end of the birthday fun either. Starting the next day and continuing through the end of the month, players will find out that coming in first in selected tournaments won't be the only way to walk away a winner.
