New Sponsorship: Casinos Austria Poker Tour, 2009 (€3000)
Austria is a favorite for many poker players, in fact, it is known as the poker capital of Europe. The Casino Austria Poker Tour (CAPT) 2009 has consistently dominated the casinos sector during the last couple of years and is standard for friendly atmosphere, highly trained staff and world class poker tournament structure. CAPT now consists of seven tournament weeks in seven Austrian casinos. The main event in each is a 2 day Texas Hold'em No Limit Tournament with a buy-in of €2000.
This summer we challenge you to qualify to play fully sponsored by Team Rakemeback in the week of tournaments in Casino Velden, one of the venues for the Casinos Austria Poker Tour 2009.Casino Velden is situated on the banks of the Veldener Bucht - one of the most beautiful spots on the lake Wörthersee. It is without doubt one of the most modern and interesting casinos in Europe.
New:To open the sponsorships up for more potential players,
we are now introducing so called
"half sponsorships" with a lower rake requirement
