Buy-in Bank's Online Poker League - The Easiest Way to Play More Live Tournaments?

    SHANGHAI, CHINA, December 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you're the kind of savvy online poker player who's always looking for the best deals, you've probably already heard of Buy-in Bank.

An online poker rewards program designed to help online players earn sponsorship packages and tournament buy-ins to live poker tournaments around the world, Buy-in Bank has grown rapidly in popularity since its launch back in June of this year.

In an effort to reward their many loyal users, Buy-in Bank will soon launch their first Online Poker League and award $10,000 worth of buy-ins to live poker tournaments, cash, sponsorship points, and swag to the participants.

Described as, "7 events, $11 buy-ins, $2,500 sponsorship package," all Buy-in Bank account holders, both new and old, have been invited to take part in both of the 7-week leagues.

The Western League is scheduled to accommodate players from Europe and the Americas and will begin on January 9th, 2011. The Grand Prize is a $2,500 sponsorship package to the 2011 Pura Vida Poker Cup, which will be held in Puntarenas, Costa Rica from March 11-13th, 2011.

After the close of the Western League, a second league will begin, this time focused on Europe, Asia and Australia. Dubbed the Eastern League, it will also award a $2,500 sponsorship package Grand Prize, but this time allow the winner to play the live event of their choice.

The winner will be able to choose from one of the many live poker tours found in Buy-in Bank's catalogue of live poker events or suggest an alternate venue anywhere around the world.

Buy-in Bank was founded on a simple goal: to help online poker players play more live tournaments. While their rewards program is structured to help their users earn their way to live events through online game play, the Online Poker League will provide them with an alternative opportunity to win their way to a live event, as well as boost the sponsorship points in their Buy-in Bank Accounts.

Seeing as this is their first major league, organizers are expecting a fairly small turnout, which means the value for the players should be excellent. Is this the easiest way for online players to play more live tournaments? Buy-in bank is banking on it.
