Twitter Up For Africa

A Freeroll With A Higher Purpose
As poker players and fans of competition in general, we like to make things fun. In response to the overwhelming and continued support of the Ultimate Bet community and beyond, we’re launching our most exciting Twitter event yet. It’s not just any Freeroll tournament. This one has what you might call, a higher purpose. 
Remember the Follow Friday Freeroll? Fun right? Well this next one makes that look like 3 Card Monty.
The next Ultimate Bet Twitter Freeroll is happening right here on Wednesday July 15 2009. To make the payout extra sweet we’re asking for your help. We NEED to reach 3500 Twitter followers by the time this Twitter Freeroll happens. We’re currently at 1500, so we need your help to get 2000 new followers.
For each new Twitter follower we get between now and then, we’ll add $1 to the pot. If we hit the goal of 3500 Twitter followers by July 15, you will have helped us increase the total pot to $2000. To make us all feel extra special, we’re going to donate $1000 of the cash to our good friend Annie Duke’s charity Ante Up For Africa. The other $1000 will be used to create the payout structure for the tournament. If we hit that goal, the Freeroll payout structure will reward EVERYONE who finishes from 1st to 74th. WHAT? 74TH! That’s right, it’s getting crazy.
Potential Twitter Up For Africa Payout Structure (It’s ‘potential’ because we need to hit 3500 followers for this to pay out)
- 1st Place - Seat at the $200K Guaranteed ($215 Value)
- 2nd Place – Seat at the $200K Guaranteed ($215 Value)
- 3rd Place – Seat at the Sniper 30K ($130 Value)
- 4th Place – Seat at the $15K Guaranteed ($55 Value)
- 5th to 38th Place – Seat at the Saturday $7K Guaranteed ($5.50 Value)
- 39th to 74th Place – Seat at the Sunday $7K Guaranteed ($5.50 Value)
But remember, this is a contest that has us all working together to increase our Twitter followers to 3500 by July 15, the date of the Twitter Up For Africa tournament. When we hit that target WE ALL WIN, and so does one of the world’s finest charitable organizations. So help us out and we can ALL win TOGETHER, while literally helping to make the world a better place.
There will be many more updates to follow, but for now, spread the word on your blogs, Twitter pages, Facebooks, Myspaces, text and email your friends, forward this blog post and help us connect with more amazing people like you.
