Betfair Poker announced today that, as the official online satellite provider, it is committed to sending more than 125 satellite winners to the World Series of Poker Europe 2007.

“As presenting sponsor I want Betfair to have a strong presence,” said Head of Poker Ben Fried. “There are a limited number of seats and at Betfair Poker you can be assured that you will have a place at the tables in London.”

Pro player Ben Grundy said, “There are so many issues these days with online qualification, particularly for the World Series. It’s worth going with Betfair Poker just for the value they provide, but also your seat is more secure.”

Stuart Drysdale was one of Team Betfair’s first online qualifiers. He is used to playing in multi table tournaments from $5 to $20, so the WSOP Europe is a very large step up.

“I am only a break-even player at those levels,” he said. “If I can do it, that must mean that plenty of other low-stakes players can as well. And with the $0.01 satellites there is ample opportunity.”

Yesterday Betfair Poker launched its $250,000 Freeroll Grand Final, where 10 packages (worth $23,000 each) plus $20,000 will be given away. It takes place in September and is part of a $1.5m WSOP Europe promotion Betfair Poker will be running until the event. It is possible to qualify for the Grand Final by placing in the top 9 in daily freerolls at 8pm until the 15th July. From the 16th July the 8pm freerolls will be exclusively for new members to Betfair Poker.

Betfair Poker regulars can still qualify for the Grand Final after July 15th by generating 250 Betfair points and playing in Sundays’ 2pm freeroll series starting 22nd July. In each of these freerolls 50 seats in the Grand Final will be won. Direct multi table tournament qualification into the WSOP Europe is available on Betfair Poker for $110, $315 and $780, and qualifiers to these are available at stakes as low as $0.01. Direct single table tournament qualification is available for $2,500 (9 seats) and $3,800 (6 seats).
