Americas Cardroom invites poker players to lock in $540 Winning Millions seat with minimum deposit

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Who says you have to win at poker to earn a seat in the biggest online poker tournament to hit U.S. shores in nearly four years? Americas Cardroom invites players to lock in their $540 seat by making a $10 deposit for first depositors or $25 for reload depositors. The seat is unlocked just by playing poker and the $1 million tournament gets underway on December 14th at 3:00pm ET.

"It's our goal to pack Winning Millions with as many players we can and catapult the final prize pool into history-making territory," stated Michael Harris, spokesperson for Americas Cardroom. "So starting today, we're inviting online poker players to lock in their seat just by making a deposit."

Winning Millions is a Texas Hold'em tournament featuring a $1 million prize pool, set to begin on December 14th, 2014. Poker players can buy directly in for $500+$40 or win their spot through daily satellites.

With today's announcement, poker players can also lock in their seat just by making a deposit. Upon depositing, players are invited to join the promo by opting in through the BONUSES section in the CASHIER. Once players have collected 13,000 Award Points, their seat will be unlocked. Players can earn Award Points by playing cash games, tournaments, and sit & goes at Americas Cardroom.

Commented Harris, "Over the last year, we've seen a giant community of grinders hit the tables hard at Americas Cardroom playing The Beast and Sit & Crush. With 2.5 months left to secure a seat, it's easy for dedicated players to unlock their seat."

Harris notes that the Lock In You Winning Millions Seat promo is extra rewarding because those grinding the tables to unlock their seat will also automatically participate in The Beast and Sit & Crush by playing at qualifying tables.

The response to Winning Millions has been beyond impressive. Many are predicting that the tournament could change the poker landscape in the U.S. permanently and a Sunday million-dollar tournament could be a weekly event to look forward to in 2015.
