PKR Runs Satellites to the GUKPT

The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) is visiting Thanet on October 16, and PKR.com is trying to send as many possible players to the event as possible to represent the 3D poker site. This tournament is Leg 8 of the GUKPT, and is a $2,000 buy-in, three-day event. The tournament director expects hundreds of players to enter, and a first place prize of over $100,000.

Thanet is a rural area in Kent that contains many seaside towns, and a military history. It is a beautiful setting for Leg 8 of the GUKPT, and should provide a great time for the six-figure winner. Since it is such a scenic area, the Tour is providing players with a rest day to explore and relax while preparing for the final day of the tournament.

If you're interested in this tournament, and want to play, make sure to check out PKR.com to win your tournament package. PKR is running countless satellites to the GUKPT Leg 8, starting with qualifiers for as little a $1.54. There are tons of options for players to qualify, including lottery satellites (everyone pays a small amount, and one player receives entry to the next qualifier), sit and go satellites, and MTT satellites.

PKR Adds New Deposit Options

PKR.com has recently added several new deposit options to give players more methods of getting money from their pockets to the online poker site. Although only players from outside of the United States can make a deposit at the PKR poker site, those players now have their choice of 13 different payment methods. We'll go through each method, and tell you who its best for:

NETeller and Click2Pay - These are both e-Wallets, which means that you fund your account at NETeller or Click2Pay, then transfer money from the e-Wallet to PKR.com. To get money onto the e-Wallet account, most players use either a bank transfer or a credit card payment.

The advantage of creating an e-Wallet is that when you're ready to cash out, you'll receive your money much quicker through the e-Wallet service than through a cheque cash out.

Visa, Visa Delta, and Vista Electron - These are all basically credit cards, and allow players to make instant transfers to your PKR account. There are no fees involved, and it is a very convenient and quick method of getting money onto your account.

MasterCard, gift card, or pre-paid MasterCard - This is basically the same as above - just an instant credit card transfer to your account.

Maestro, Switch, and Solo - All of these options are debit cards that you load with money, then transfer funds onto the poker site just like its a credit card transfer.

Moneybookers - Moneybookers is another type of e-Wallet that you load by either a bank transfer or credit card payment, then move money onto your PKR account. Afterwards, you can withdraw directly to your Moneybookers account to cut down on withdrawal time.

iDeal/Envoy - This option allows you to transfer funds directly from your bank account to your PKR poker account. There are no fees involved, and it is a very quick method of funding your account, once you set up the iDeal system.
