U.S. friendly Lock Poker, one of the newest skins at Merge Gaming, has an unusual promotion going on for the month of April: "Battle of the Ronin".
The promotion has actually been running since March but was such a success that the company decided to run it again along with separate promotion called the "Bluff Pro Challenge". The winner of the Bluff Online Pro Challenge will be signed to a LockPRO ELITE sponsorship and be rewarded with some unbelievable prizes to launch a Professional Poker career, including:
* July cover of Bluff magazine
* Seats to World Series of Poker 2012
* Featured in a Lock Pro Campaign
The Battle of the Ronin has half a million in cash prizes and a seat to the 2011 WSOP Main Event. Lock Poker will be tracking the total number of VIP Points earned during the month and every time players earn the required number of points for a level they win a free cash reward. This cash is paid straight into player accounts, no loopholes involved*.
If the poker player clears all the levels they could win over $45,000!
The player with the most points earned not only goes home with the sweet taste of victory but will also win a 2011 WSOP Main Event seat that is worth over $10,000.
To visit the site and read about all their promotions, just click Lock Poker.
*All Battle of the Ronin cash prizes will be paid in full directly to a player's poker account, without any further play through requirements. Any cash prizes will be available for withdrawal after 7 days of being issued to your account, but can be played with at the tables immediately. .
It's been a while since I've posted over here at Poker Portal Listings, but I wanted to share a bit of news about a new partnership of sorts over at Carolina Gambler.
As most readers know CarolinaGambler.com had always been limited to sharing online gambling news from the U.S.A. and promotiong those sites that are friendly to the U.S. players. One of the reasons being that it's hard to promote a poker room or casino and give an honest opinion about them if you can't play them. Hence the reason that there is now a European correspondent at the site who also happens to be an avid online poker player.
Jan is from Denmark and has been playing online poker for more than 10 years. He's traveled hundreds of miles playing at casinos, but enjoys the comfort of online poker. For more on Jan, make sure to read his short introduction at "About the European Gambler".
Thanks for visiting Poker Portal Listings and please come back again !
I wanna give a shout out to the latest gambling site that I'm a small part of. I was invited into a partnership of sorts with a small team and gladly accepted. The name of the site is Gambling Tabloid, and I really think this is going to be a very recognizable site in the not too distance future.
At Gambling Tabloid there are four departments consisting of online poker, online casinos, online sportsbooks and online bingo. There are four different individuals, each one in charge of their own department. This should lead to plenty of quality content for the site, and some very nice promotions for the different types of online gaming/betting.
The site was just started this month, January of 2010, so is still in development but well on its way to becoming what the shared owners are hoping to achieve. What is that some may ask...To answer that, Gambling Tabloid is a one stop place for up to date gambling news and advertising only the most reliable,reputable and safest sites to deposit and play at.
So whether your game is poker, the slots, bingo or betting on your favourite sports team, readers should find something of interest. Like I mentioned, Gambling Tabloid is still new but will be growing by the day.
Poker Portal Listings would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. May you all have good health, no worries, and all your pots be huge in 2010 !

For a change of pace, this month we're going to list an online casino portal. The domain has been around a couple years, but it's just been recently that the site has really got "cranked up".
Online Casino Blues is a one stop place for Internet Casino News and Reviews for those gamblers that are looking for a reputable place to gamble online that allows the American player. You'll find casino rooms there that offer some great sign up bonuses and both download or flash versions of you favourite games.
Along with information on the casino rooms you'll also find articles on different strategies and tips for some of the most popular games like video poker, blackjack, slots and more.
So if you are a gambler that is looking for a reputable place to play, mozy on over to Online Casino Blues. I'm betting that you'll find something that will fit your gambling needs.
House of Poker Blues is the first domain that I bought . It all started due to a Bloggers Poker Tour (BPT) that was played at PDC Poker that I participated in. I had blogged a bit on myspace back in those days, but in order to host one of the BPT poker tournaments, you had to have a "real blog" (that was what I was told), myspace blogs were not allowed. So I went and started House of Poker Blues and have never looked back...
House of Poker Blues also plays host (along with online friend Hacksaw2000) to a Charity Poker Event. The 5th Street Charity Ball is played each and every month on the first Saturday with proceeds going to the Make a Wish Foundation.
At House of Poker Blues you will find poker and gambling news from around the world, whether it's on the WSOP, or news on the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). We try very hard to keep readers up to date on any new attempts in Congress to repeal the UIGEA with a list of the politicians that are sponsoring H.R. 2267, known as Rep.Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act.
On top of gambling news , readers can also find the occasional interview from someone in the industry like Bluff Magazines very own Eric Morris, or lady poker pro Nikki Caballero .
At House of Poker Blues you will find information on some of the most reputable online poker rooms in the world that offer a percentage of your rakeback, and others that just offer some great deposit bonuses. Most all of the poker rooms that are listed at HouseofPokerBlues.com are U.S. friendly and have ways of funding, and withdrawing from the sites.
If poker is not your game, there are skill games and casinos listed as well. Be it online rummy, bingo or slots , you can find a gamesite to play at House of Poker Blues.
Sincerely,
Earl
