Online Casino Offers Prizes Instead of Cash

SweetPrize Entertainment has announced that it will soon be offering a non-gambling online Poker service where online card players who are not permitted by their country’s laws to gamble online, will be able to get involved in multi-player online poker, with the promise of daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly prizes, rather than cash. Prizes will range from iPods to a Porsche Cayenne sports car.

SweetPrize say they’re aiming to attract well educated, high income players who would prefer to play their online poker in a legal prize orientated environment than play illegally for cash.

Although basic membership to the site is free, SweetPrize aims to raise revenue by charging members to sign up for a special VIP membership, and as the site is not a gambling site, it does not have to apply for special government approval or a gambling licence.
