We listened and we reacted. After asking our players what they want, we sat down and after long hard work, we found a way how to give it to them. "How do you survive tournaments, freerolls, head ups....or just plain Texas Holdem Poker Nights?" Virgin created 7 poker school video tutorial clips. Before playing for real money get into the game by learning the game from scratch.
They say practice makes perfect and when it comes to poker this is absolutely true. What helps in the journey to poker perfection is advice from someone who really knows the game and can tell you exactly where you're going wrong. Virgin runs a live poker school 3 times a week online where one of our resident pro's give you advice and tips on your game. Scedule are:
Wednesday 10pm to 1am GMT
Thursday 5pm to 8pm GMT
Sunday 5pm to 8pm GMT
Or just learn everithing from "The Poker Basics" to "Playing your position".Lean back and relax in their groundbreaking Poker School. And now, lets face it. We all play Poker all over the place and not just here at Virgin (although we are the Poker Champions here in the UK). So to make things easier we had a good look at the gaming sites out there and tested them regarding security, fairness and safety...and of course for the the best start: read on for the best poker bonuses.
We are organising our first offline Poker tournament in a pub here in London / UK. Beer, play money and lots of fun. If interested email us at:
and mention "Pub Poker London" in the subject line. We will let you know the dates and location asap.
Stash100$ freeroll held at Virgin Poker:
Everyone is invited to join the $100 freerolls which will be held at Virgin Poker everytime, as soon as 50 players signed up. The freerolls will be limited to 60 players so there is a good chance for everyone to win a bit of cash. Signing up is easy: Either send us an email to:
with your Virgin Poker screename and with “Stash100” in the subject line.
The Heads Up Event Poker Competition:
Virgin Poker gives you the chance to boost your V-Points bankroll with 20.000 extra points (this is equal to a return ticket to Las Vegas). All you have to do is to answer Virgin's weekly question. Last weeks question is :"What is your fantasy Poker table line up and why?". The winning answer will be published in the next Virgingames newsletter. Be as imaginative as you want. The dream team from last week was: "Stu Ungar, Marilyn Monroe, Dinkydonk, Angelina Jolie, Albert Einstein, Phil Ivey and Henty VII". Dinkydonk was the winner and his reasoning was: "Being sandwiched between Monroe and Jolie. Getting Einstein to explain pot-odds and Watching Ivey try to raise King Henry's blind"
This weeks question is: "What is your favoured Poker realated story and why?"
The qualifications for the Virgin Poker Festival are under way and we already have several players looking forward to a weekend of value added poker fun in Birmingham on the weekend of the 24th/25th November.
