Social distancing efforts have led to a decrease in gambling revenue with the exception of one area: Online poker.
In celebration of the new online poker boom, Darren Rovell and The Action Network have teamed up with 888poker — one of the biggest online poker rooms in the world — to host a series of weekly games that will culminate in a $10,000 grand finale on July 5.
All new users in New Jersey who sign up and deposit at least $10 using the ACTION888 promo code will receive tickets to compete in 888poker's daily all-in freeroll tournaments as well as a ticket to the $10K grand finale.
The seven winners of this week's all-in tournaments — which take place at 7:30 p.m. ET each day — will earn a seat at Rovell's poker table for this Sunday a 8 p.m. ET, where they'll play for their share of $1,000. Rovell will play one more $1,000 table on June 28 before the $10K tournament on July 5.
In addition to tickets to those daily all-in freeroll tournaments and chances to play Rovell, all new users who use the ACTION888 promo code when depositing (minimum $10) will also get a $20 registration bonus.
So really, there is no reason to not take this opportunity to polish up bounty skills for a free roll on prizes.
Plus, based on how the first game went for Rovell — who had literally never played poker before — the seven winners of this week's daily all-ins should have a decent chance at their share of the $1,000 pot on Sunday night:
