Ukash and PokerStars Finalizes Partnership for EPT San Remo

Worldwide e-commerce payment provider UKash has partnered with online poker site PokerStars.com to give poker players an alternative option of cashing up new gaming accounts and first time European players are being offered a promotion to utilize it. First-time European users of Ukash can win a slot to the EPT's (European Poker Tour) San Remo stop next month.

The package will include an all expense paid trip with flights, hotel accommodation and pocket money. Mark Chirnside, the CEO of Ukash, said on March 12th, 2010 that this is an excellent time to offer Ukash users a one-of-a kind opportunity to enjoy poker alongside elite poker players.

Chirnside added that by collaborating with PokerStars.com to give first-time Ukash depositors such an awesome prize, they hope to show poker players across Europe the rewards of using Ukash as they join millions of individuals who already use cash to wager online.

A PokerStars spokesperson in the Isle of Man stated that providing Ukash as a payment option on their site has attracted a new player demographic to their site, the cash customer.
