This has to be the oddest poker promotion I’ve ever seen. Poker Stars is calling it “the coolest competitions you’re ever likely to see”. I’m not so sure about that, but whatever.
Here’s the deal. You can buy one of these silly monkey stuffed animals from the Poker Stars VIP store for only 1,000 Frequent Player Points (FPPs). Take this silly monkey to any interesting places you visit and take a picture of him. Email up to 3 of your best monkey pictures to monkey@pokerstars.com that will impress the PokerStars community and you can win one of the following prizes:
1st Place – 100,000 FPPs
2nd place = 50,000 FPPs
3rd place – 25,000 FPPs
3 discretionary prizes – 10,000 FPPs each
This really is a great way to get some Frequent Player Points, if you can think of a idea for a great monkey picture. For example, you can can buy a $150 gas card for only 12,000 FPPs.
The last day to send in your entries is April 1, 2009. More details on this odd promotion can be found on the PokerStars Monkey Promotion page.
