ILL BLOG A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS AS ITS ONLY 3 WEEKS AWAY.

Irish Eyes Poker/Bet

A few weeks back I posted the site had become an affiliate with Irish Eyes Poker. Due to work commitments I have not had time to follow this up. Star Poker in Bray also have become an affiliate with Irish Eyes and you can register in the poker room itself, lodging and withdrawing money from your account.

This affiliate programme is exactly the same except you can only sign up via the site. All lodgements/withdrawals are done by you. The affiliation done through the blog is more for the online player rather than the live player who cant make it to Bray to set up an account.

So......... A few little things to know:

New Sports Betting, Casino and Poker games, including Fast Fold Poker, available on PC, Mobile, iPad and Tablets - play poker where ever you are even on the move

There is a 200% poker deposit bonus available. Players should use the deposit code IEBET when making a deposit to get this bonus. This is not a Signup code or Referral code. This is for after the signup when YOU want to make a deposit with credit card etc. Using this Deposit code will get you a poker bonus of 200% on the deposit amount up to €400. (eg, you deposit 50 euro, and after the the release requirements of play, you can get 100 euro extra. depending on how much you turnover in rake is how it works,). Usual release terms apply.
CLICK ON EITHER BANNER WITHIN THE BLOG TO REGISTER FOR IRISH EYES POKER OR IF YOU LOG ON VIA THE IRISH EYES ITSELF USE THE REFERRAL CODE WICKLOWPKR.

Fast Foldem can be played on all mobiles and tablets...ipads, iphone, android etc.

Classic poker - which is the usual software download like other sites - is playable on pc and laptop only. It does also have Fast Foldem built in however.

Fast Foldem is on the Instadeal network

The regular classic poker is on the League network, European based. They do share liquidity for tournaments with Revolution network also.

Finally one of the things that might come up is that some players will have an existing IrishEyesPoker account. What you need to do is go to www.irisheyesbet.com and click on the Forgot Password link in the top right hand side of the page. You will then receive a new password sent to your email address and can access your old account. If you have any difficulties at all, email support@irisheyesbet.com .
