That’s not a typo. I do mean cars and not cards. Which of course begs the question what on earth do motor cars have to do with online casinos?
Well ordinarily not much. But just at the moment, it seems that new car give-aways have become the promotion of choice for a bunch of online casinos that run real-dealer platforms.
The trend started mid last year when Dublinbet decided they were going to give away a Mini-cooper. The promo was announced and started in July, and in November the casino announced that Konstantinos E. from Greece was the proud owner of a new car worth €12,000.
Not to be outdone, bet365 decided to get in on the act in ran a promo in December in which they put 3 BMW Z4′s up for grabs in that month. They called it their ‘Race to a Million’ promo and basically entered all qualified players into draws at certain stages of a cumulative counter. At the 1, 2, and 3 million marks, at draw for a BMW took place. Just last week they announced the winners as:
- Mr Kevin B won the first drawn car on 18 December;
- Mr Tim B won the second drawn car on 21 December; and
- Mr Bo Z won the third drawn car on 26 December.
Now, Lucky Live Casino, another one of the Vuetec powered casinos that streams games from The Fitzwilliam Card Club and Casino in Dublin are giving away a car. Not quite 3 BMW Z4′s but a still a brand new car none the less.
Their promo puts a 2010 model Smart car up for grabs. It’s a simple promo where every €50 deposited and turned over earns a single entry into the random draw for the car that will take place June 30, 2010. There is no limit on the number of entries a player can generate.
