With the Olympics taking place in July, we’ve got a great competition to challenge Genting Poker players through the month.

Can you claim the Gold Medal in our Speed Poker 24 Hour Challenge?

The player who can play the most Speed Poker hands in a single day throughout July will win a £1000 Genting Poker Series Main Event Seat Package and a Gold Medal!

Silver Medal position wins a £430 Genting Poker Series Main Event Seat

Bronze Medal position wins a £430 Genting Poker Series Main Event Seat as a 50/50 Sponsored player.

The 7 next highest scores will win a £55 GPS Seat Super Sat Seat!

All you have to do is play real money Speed Poker with Genting Poker.

Every day we will update our blog with:

- The Top 10 players ranked by the number of hands played.
- The current Top 10 for the month to date.
- So every day you have a chance to beat the high score!
- At the end of July the player with the highest score wins!

So if on Day 1 “FastFingerFred” plays the most hands with 627, he might stay in the Gold Medal position for 5 or 6 days until someone can beat it. It could be that on the 31st July a player comes in and beats the high score that has stood for the whole month! The fickle Fastest Finger of fate has strange ways…..

Terms and Conditions

- Gold - The GPS £1000 Package consists of Seat (£430 token so winner can register online), Hotel (approx £300) and the balance in Spending money paid into their poker account

Easy to spot, instant disqualification and we'll send the heavies round to their bot house also. Its a small fun promo, I can't see anyone really going through that hassle for a grand...might be wrong though!

Given the choice of n-tabling for 24 hours or writing a breakeven bot for a shot at a £1000 prize, 'hassle' would be exactly what decided it for me. Especially as you can try both.

Yes! It is super hard work multitabling the speed tables though, be warned, your head may actually explode.

Also everyone will have their friends take shifts. 10 tabling for 24 hours might place, imo.

There aren't 10 tables live, but yes they might. We reckon that will be fairly easy to spot, but hey its a FUN promo! If Dilberts genuinely want to cheat, there is little we can do about it, save boot them firmly off / up the behind when we catch them!

You just use your token and register for it...might be prudent if you win a 50/50 one. I don't think the online leg will reach the guarantee so there could be value there.

It would be really easy to spot. Any time there's money at stake (particularly £1k!) people will try to win it using any methods possible...
