PartyPoker.com’s latest promotion ‘The Gladiator’ is underway. The promotion runs between the 1 – 25 April. Players have to opt in to the promotion. Just hit our daily minimum target of 10 points for at least 10 days and you’ll win a prize of at least $5 at the end of the promotion. Rise to the ultimate challenge of The Gladiator and you’ll earn yourself $1,000 for your heroic efforts. The more days a player earns the minimum number of points on, the bigger the prize will be. You don’t even have to earn points on consecutive days to be in with a shot at our colossal prizes: we’ll just count up the number of days you’ve made the targets on during the promotion. For example, if you earn 10 points every day for 10 days, take five days off and then earn 10 points on 10 more days of the promotion, we’ll award you the prize for earning 10 points on 20 days. Players will be able to track their progress when they go into their Party Account. Points are not removed from player accounts following the promotion – they all count towards Palladium Lounge targets.

CELEBS DESCEND ON GIBRALTAR FOR EASTER SUNDAY CHARITY FOOTBALL MATCH

April 2, 2009

Gibraltar – 2nd April 2009 — A set of celebs will be donning their shirts and shin-pads as they take on an athletic Armed Forces home side in the big ‘Match in Gibraltar,’ sponsored by PartyGaming http://www.partygaming.com/pg/. The grand finale to Gibraltar’s inaugural International Boat Show, this Easter Sunday showdown aims to raise plenty of smiles as well as plenty of cash for nominated charity – Help for Heroes.

With the 5,000-seater Victoria Stadium as a venue, a convenient hop-skip-and-a-jump from the Boat Show Marinas, the likes of Royle Family and Two Pints favourite Ralf Little, TV personality Jeff Brazier, Hollyoaks’ Jamie Lomas, Big Brother’s Ziggy and clubland DJ Alex P are sure to provide a crowd-pleasing opposition to Petty Officer Physical Training Instructor Dave Wilson’s Forces side.

Martin Weigold, Group Finance Director of match sponsors PartyGaming, comments, “After four days of all eyes on the waterfront, it’ll be great to get our feet on dry ground and provide a real spectacle for exhibitors, organizers, the residents of Gibraltar and visitors from Spain and beyond.  The Match will serve to celebrate what we’re sure will have been an enormously successful first Boat Show for the Rock.  It’s so admirable to see stars from the world of TV, music and sport give up their precious Easter break to raise money for Help for Heroes and we intend to pack out the Stadium to raise as much as possible for this deserving cause.”

Joining Ralf, Jeff, Jamie, Ziggy and Alex P on the pitch will be Dream Team and Sky One’s The Match’s Alex Lawler, Olympic sprinter Derek Redmond, music artist M C Harvey, Corrie’s Danny Young and Eastenders’ ‘Paul Truman’ – Gary Beadle.  Whilst a handful of other much-loved stars will be revealed closer to the date as they juggle their diaries to make the Match.

The Match in Gibraltar isn’t just about the 90 minutes between the whistles.  Pre-Match entertainment will be in the shape of a Crossbar Challenge and Beat the Keeper whilst half-time activities will include a big win raffle.  Gibraltar-based Acquarius Marine Services with their all-inclusive registration, legal and trust services, will be providing the coveted winners’ Cup.

So will it be the lean military machine or the flamboyant stars who pick up the trophy?  Come along from 5.45pm on Sunday 12 April to find out.

Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £6 for under 16s and children under 8 go free.  Family tickets are available for £25 entitling entry to two adults and two under 16s.  Tickets are available to buy now from Ocean Village Express, Savannah nightclub and The Ship Inn Gibraltar, or email info@gibraltarboatshow.com to reserve your entrance.  For all the latest information on the Match visit http://www.thematchingibraltar.com and for the Boat Show itself http://www.gibraltarboatshow.com

About Help for Heroes

Help for Heroes was launched in October 2007 by a group of friends and service relations who wished to do something to help the wounded coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq.


In the words of co-founder, Bryn Perry, H4H is described as “strictly non-political, we accept that wars happen under any government and we are not critical; we simply want to help.  We called for the people of the United Kingdom to show their support and affection for ‘our blokes’ and to do so by ‘doing their bit’. Our call has been heard throughout Britain and an army of volunteers is fund raising to support our wounded.  To date we have raised £17 million or £1million a month to support our blokes.


Our young men and women of the Armed Forces will say that they are not heroes, they will tell you that they are just blokes doing their job. We think that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life.  We may not be able to prevent our blokes from being wounded, but together we can help them get better”
