Online poker players can take part in a series of special competitions at CoolHandPoker.com from as little as 22 cents courtesy of the site’s new Tournaments For The People promotion.
The Gibraltar-licensed online poker site revealed that buy-ins for its latest promotion were less than 25 percent of its normal minimum in order to allow new players a chance to learn the game and enjoy themselves before moving on to higher priced tournaments.
CoolHandPoker.com stated that minimum buy-ins on most poker networks averaged around $1.10 while maximums could reach thousands of dollars. However, its new pricing structure includes a variety of tournaments run regularly throughout the day for less than one dollar with its most expensive tournament priced at $22.
“We don't cater to the people betting thousands each day, we cater to the thousands of people who are trying to have fun and learn the game,” read a statement from CoolHandPoker.com.
“These tournaments are another unique feature we're introducing to encourage new players to discover the excitement of tournament play while discouraging professional players.”
CoolHandPoker.com bills itself as a shark-free environment and limits the amount of money a player can have at a table at any given time. In addition, the site restricts the number of tables a customer can play concurrently and does not offer rake back, a feature high-volume participants look for, while limiting cash table sizes to a two to four-dollar maximum and offering 'green tables' that exclude players from other networks.
“Our goal is to build the safest online poker website in the world,” read the statement from CoolHandPoker.com.
“While we cannot guarantee a professional player won't come to CoolHandPoker.com, we're doing anything and everything possible to make it unappealing for them. We've even contacted players directly and asked them to cash out and leave the site. We really do look out for our players.”
