Happy birthday to us. is one.
Come on over to our place, hey you, we’re having a party.

Yes, on Friday 21st November, officially reaches the grand old age of one. Which in online poker years is about 109, so we think it's definitely worth celebrating.

And like anything worth celebrating, it needs a big party; and the good news is, you're invited. To join the fun, all you need to do is log-in to from 7pm Friday 21st November and enjoy:

• A special $500 birthday freeroll at 20:30 GMT. It's absolutely free to enter and with no action point requirement it's open to absolutely anyone.
• A special birthday high hand jackpot of $100, meaning that you can get lucky twice! To qualify for a chance to win the prize, if you get a hand of full house (aces full of kings) or above, just let one of our hosts know by using the manager chat button. Please note the following: (1) Only hands in real money games or tournaments are eligible (2) Only hands of a full house (Aces full of Kings) and above qualify (3) Both hole/pocket cards must be used to form the hand (4) The hand must go to the showdown.
• And for the unlucky amongst you, we're also offering a special birthday bad beat jackpot of $100 as well. Again, if you have a full house or above beaten, use the manager chat to let us know; hey, it might be the most profitable loss you'll ever have. Please note the following: (1) Only hands in real money games or tournaments are eligible (2) Only hands of a full house or above qualify (3) Both hole/pocket cards must be used to form the hand (4) The hand must go to a showdown.
• Three, yes three, bounty tournaments. Knock out a host and be quids in with an instant $50 bonus. To enter, just register in the Multi-table tournaments section of the poker client and look for the word "bounty" in the tournament name!
• Quiz night fun in the lobby! Make sure that you've got an eye on the lobby at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00 and 23:00 (all times GMT) as one of our hosts will ask a poker-related question. If you're the first to get it right, you'll scoop an instant bonus of $25. Easy.
• A lucky seat jackpot. Everyone who registers for the 22:30 $10 No Limit Speed multi-table tournament (it's also one of the bounty tournaments, so there are lots of reasons to register for this one) will automatically be entered into a special prize draw where one lucky winner will get $100 without even having to play a hand. Which can't be bad can it?

So, dig out your best party clothes, stock up on jelly and ice cream and get yourself down to this Friday. The fun starts at 7pm sharp, so don't be late; in fact, we'd advise being fashionably early. Enjoy the night and here's to the next twelve months.
