Here's a fine example of how online gambling are appealing to the college aged demographic. Are you an online gambling player with an impending college tuition? Do you like playing poker online? If so, students interested in winning tuition money for the spring 2006 semester at the school of their choice have until 12AM EST, October 6, 2005 to enter the Absolute Poker free Win Your Tuition Texas Hold'em tournament to be held online October 15.
To compete in the cool new online porker event, students only need proof of enrollment for the spring 2006 semester, be in good repute with their school, and have online capabilities (and if you are reading this - you do).
As part of the countdown leading to the October 15 online gambling main event, Absolute Poker is hosting free rolls with prizes every weekend and outpost tournaments that start on October 10. No more than 2,000 players, selected at random based on a first-come-first serve basis, will be able to play in any of the satellite events. The top 20% of the poker finalists from each of those tourneys will qualify for the main poker event. You can register and download the free software by going to absolutepoker.com.
Get this - t uition for a semester is not the only prize available either. Other prizes include internship opportunities, cash prizes and random tournament giveaways.
So far, it is being reported that
Penn State is leading all schools in registered poker participants. Indiana State is a close 2nd, with Univ. of Texas, Univ. of Florida, Purdue, Univ. of Illinois, Virginia Tech., Univ. of Cal., Rutgers and the Univ. of Wisconsin rounding out the top 10.
