The majority of ONLINE tournaments on PartyPoker will not conflict with League tournaments in our venues.
All tournaments are exclusive to players who are members of the Canada Poker Tournament League (CNPTL). To play, you must be a member of the CNPTL and it's free. However, to have access to the "Finals and Prizes", the member must subscribe to the Poker Tour Management (PTG) scoring system at a cost of $20 per season (October 1st to September 30th) and this before the tournament in question.
The PartyPoker tournaments will be played in the section "tournament - special" of the PartyPoker software.
Furthermore, for any new PartyPoker account, with the first $25 minimum cash deposit into your PartyPoker account, the League will deposit an additional $20 in your account with no additional requisite. For those that already have a PartyPoker account, please contact us at PartyPoker@cnptl.com to see if special arrangements are possible with PartyPoker.
You will also benefit from an exceptional 100% bonus, up to $500 when making your first deposit. You just need to install the PartyPoker Software in Step 2 - Installation or use the bonus code CNPTL.
To participate and take advantage of offers, promotions and bonuses offered by the league, after May 1st 2010, you must install the PartyPoker software through our link in Step 2 - Installation or use our code CNPTL when installing the PartyPoker software if it was downloaded from another website. If you have installed your PartyPoker Software through another site after May 1st 2010, please notify us at PartyPoker@cnptl.com
To participate in ONLINE tournaments, the player, member of the CNPTL must have a PartyPoker account and link his PartyPoker screen name to his CNPTL account/profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE : If you only want to participate in the League's freerolls on Party Poker, you can do so without depositing any money into your PartyPoker account, however, you MUST register in the "Cashier" section by completing the information requested. You will not have to deposit money to play in the freerolls only. This is usually not permitted on PartyPoker but given our agreement with them, PartyPoker allows CNPTL players to do it but this promotion will only be valid for a period of two months from your date of eligibility to play tournaments for free. It can take about a week before you're able to play the freerolls without making a deposit. However, the player who makes a deposit has access to the League's free tournaments on PartyPoker at all times.
