When I was trying to familiarize myself with poker in preparation for the newbie poker tournament my friends organized last month, I signed up to a number of online casino websties. From time to time since then, I have been receiving their newsletters, updates and latest promotions. Just the other day, I got a rather interesting promotion from one of them.

It turns out that these online casinos don't see each other as competitors all the time. There are times when they do cross-promotions and review of each others sites to increase traffic and membership sign ups. Like what FlopTurnRiver and Full Tilt Poker is doing.

I thought at first it was some kind of pinball game, that's why I clicked their link. Then I found out that Full Tilt is holding a tournament and they have what they call the Full Tilt Bonus where they will be adding $500 to the prize pool, no matter how many players enter the tournament. All you have to do to get started is register at the Full Tilt Poker website and enter the Full Tilt Poker referral code and voila! You are now eligible to enter the special tournament.

FlopTurnRiver is also doing a similiar room promotion with PokerStars. A PokerStars Bonus Code will enable you to to receive 100% of your intial deposit up to $50, which you can only get if you're a newly registered member making your first deposit.
