Online poker sites are huge fans of turning any kind of positive event into a major public relations boost. Everest Poker is no exception to that rule. In many other industries, these types of public relations blitzes would be annoying. However, in the world of online poker, they are tolerated as long as the sites are actually offering something substantive in order to back up their words. In the case of Everest Poker, the blitz they have going on in order to celebrate their 5th birthday is definitely one that can back up the words with something substantial.
At the most basic level, the promotion centers on the ability of most players to collect five Summit Points (the loyalty points at Everest Poker) in a single day. If you can do that during the promotional period, you will get free entries into freeroll tournaments with $5000 as the guaranteed prize pool.
Furthermore, people that are interested in referring friends during this period of time are also people that can benefit from this promotion. Everest Poker has $5000 freeroll tournaments lined up for people that are able to refer four or more people to Everest Poker over the course of the promotional period (in this case, the month of July).
Going up a level in terms of monetary amounts, Everest Poker has a special promotion going on in July and August for quad fives. Because it is their 5th birthday, anyone that gets dealt four of a kind in fives with at least one five being in their starting hand will get a prize of 55,555 Summit Points. Those points can be used to make purchases in the Everest Poker store. The store, during this promotion, actually has discounts anywhere from 5% to 55% on many of the available items.
Everest Poker is also going to be dealing its five billionth hand soon at the cash game tables. Considering it is not part of a poker network, that is absolutely impressive. In any case, all of the players that have a hand dealt to them at the start of that five billionth hand will get $5000 in cash.
And at the end of it all, Everest Poker will cap things off with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool tournament. A great way to end a great celebration.
