Two on-line casinos are going to host "FREE" $1,000 to $1,100 blackjack tournaments for us over the next couple of weeks.
Global-Player is offering a $1,100 free roll Thursday July 20th @ 6:00 pm EST. Plus one free re-buy limited to the first 125 players
Payouts:
1st = $400
2nd = $250
3rd = $150
4th = $100
5th = $ 50
Now the new guys on the block Blackjack21.com are going to offer a GRAND OPENING - $1,000 blackjack tournament "Absolutely Free" on Thursday July 13th, or are they?
After reading past the $1,000 tournament "Absolutely Free" you soon realize that it is only free entry if you do the following:
Deposit $110 and play 5 - $20 tournaments and get the next one FREE, to qualify for the $1,000 guaranteed tournament or;
Deposit $55.00 and play in 5 Mano a Mano $10.00 tournaments and receive free entry into the guaranteed $1,000 tournament.
I called Blackjack21.com today and talked to "Randy" (seems like a nice guy). I asked him how their tournament could be listed as "Absolutely Free" when there are restrictions to getting in?
Randy explained it was just a grand opening promotion to draw in more players. I explained that we (the blackjack community) don't like false promises and guarantees. I suggested that they offer this first $1,000 tournament as advertised "Absolutely Free".
It is their tournament and it is still a nice deal, but it is not what is advertised. For a company starting up and trying to get new players, they are not starting out on the right foot if they don't honor what is advertised. Fear of getting cheated playing at on-line events in blackjack is still the number one reason players don’t play on-line BJ tournaments. If they force these restrictions it will just be another reason for players to fear playing on-line blackjack (at least at blackjack 21.com).
The blackjack community is easy to get along with and we welcome blackjack21.com to our community. We simply expect you to do what you advertise.
