Leading online poker site PokerStars continues preparations for its December 28th attempt to rewrite the entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest-ever online poker tournament. With a target of 35,000 players, the event should outdraw by 50% some of the largest online tourneys recorded to date – including a Sunday "Hundred Grand" tourney at Stars in July of 2007 that was capped at 20,000 players, thereby setting the published record. With advance registrations proceeding at a fast clip, the special tourney is also likely to be capped well in advance of its start. Even if this tournament should fill up there will be a $150 000 overlay in the prize pool.

If you haven't signed up for Pokerstars, there are 5 $500 freerolls everyday until Dec.27th. To enter, click here and make your first real-money deposit, using any of our convenient payment methods, and enter the code “FDF1” into the bonus code field at the cashier. You'll then be able to play in as many of the daily freerolls as you wish. In addition, you'll also get our 100% First Deposit Bonus of up to $50.

The Dec. 28th event, scheduled for 3:30 pm ET, carries a modest $10+1 entry. The usual buy-in for Pokerstar's $500k is $500+30. The huge number of entrants planned for makes it necessary to be run as a "turbo" event, with ten-minute levels and ten players per table. Over 5,200 players have registered at the time of writing so if you want to make sure you get a spot in this tourney you will probably need to register before the 28th of December because chances are that it will fill up before that.

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Shaun O'Neill, the Director of Affiliate Marketing for www.paynorake.com, stated "We are looking forward to the industry's reaction. We know that players and affiliates will be happy as no other poker site in the industry is offering the rakeback levels and the earning potential that PayNoRake is offering. Since so many poker operators in the industry have mixed feelings about rakeback, we expect our competitors to be upset. Our objective is to change the game in a manner that the PokerStars and the Full Tilts of the world won't match and reward our players for playing at PayNoRake. We expect it will be months before any of our competitors even consider matching what we are offering players and affiliates.

"Not many sites are equipped to give up to 100% rakeback to players and pay it daily. This can save an average player $400 to $500 per month and a high-roller could easily pocket $30,000 to $40,000 in a year - on top of any winnings.

"Rakeback is an incredibly fast-growing part of the market that appeals to the most ardent players. Serious players have done the math and recognize the value. These are the players that are regularly on blogs and affiliate sites looking for the best deals in the poker industry. The major affiliates understand the potential for their players and their business, and see it as a win-win situation. We offer the highest possible commission and we give players an enormous incentive to switch and to play very regularly. By offering the highest rakeback in the industry, we will beat the industry-average player retention.

"No wonder the competition is getting so upset; we're changing the rules of the game." For more information on Pay No Rake, contact Shaun@PayNoRake.com
