hmpf..... Me personally, i would prefer Pokerstars to give more ATTRACTIVE(!!!) Freerolls to their players. Or some more deposit bonusses. In my eyes they dont give a f**k on the small rolls in past. 25% reload bonus was almost the best idea.... and that was in Jan 2010...

even fishes pay you money. And fishes attract more good player as well. And not offering anything at all to little rolls means less prestige. Thats why FullTilt gets more and more succesfull

Now thats good advertising....yeah...1 Pokerstars aint some cheep danndy part time business now is it...! They know exactly what they are doing and exactly how many extra players they can get just from the advertising and awairness of them as a poker site ... extra revinue will come flooding in as a result of this and a bigger market share defo. Great / brill / wicked, Its so good that the poker brand / market keeps getting new and exciting players. Promos like this help that no end.
Here in Spain Poker is growing up fastly. PokerStars is investing money in tv shows with famous people and making leagues and promotions in the most important newspapers. Basketball national team is followed by many spanish people becase lastly they have been winning a lot. So ... it's the best chance to attack spanish market

A good marketing move for PokerStars, for shure soon they will have a lot new players from Spain. By the way I like very much basketball, a some time a go I played it a lot. So for me is a good news.

After today i must agreed ^^. Anyway Poker Sites sponsor many sports cause much people watch them so it's really good comercial for them.
as far as i know german teams are not allowed to be sponsored by those pages... bwin wanted to sponsor bremen imo, but it wasnt allowed by government
oO and what's the matter? do they have any logical basis for this? why not taking money back from bookmakers? I guess if yhe government wants to prevent popularisation of betting they should prohibit betting itself, not the sponsorship
lol wrong thread i guess..
