To Benefit The Following Charities:
The Poker Gives mission is to provide financial aid and humanitarian efforts to mainstream charities through support from the poker industry. Collectively this industry and the players have an opportunity to actually make a difference and to create a better world by providing a variety of social services to those in need. Poker Gives was founded by poker industry professionals Mike Sexton, Linda Johnson, Jan Fisher, and Lisa Tenner as a way for the poker world to “Give Back” to worthwhile charity organizations. The goal is to raise funds through poker events and donate it to four mainstream charities that are near and dear to their hearts. No Board Members or Founding Members will receive a salary in the expectation that a minimum of 95% of all funds raised will reach the charities. All efforts will be made to keep the administrative costs to 5% or less. Poker Gives charities of choice are Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Special Olympics, Paralyzed Veterans of America and Step by Step Foundation.
Through sports training and competition, Special Olympics empowers individuals with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 countries. Transforming the athlete, sports are a gateway to empowerment, competence, acceptance and joy.
We work to enhance the lives of underprivileged children by creating and supporting, health, nutrition, water, education and other programs that substantially impact the human rights and development of children worldwide.
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund supports the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families who were lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans.
Paralyzed Veterans of America works to maximize the quality of life for its members as a leading advocate for health care, SCI/D research and education, veteran’s benefits and veteran’s rights. Direct Donations 1635 Village Center Circle, Suite 160 |

Earn bounty points each time you felt a Pro to use as a multiplier for cash bounties
in the Grand Bounty Tournament!
The Monthly Bounty Series Tournaments are held every Saturday at 3pm ET and Monday at 8pm ET.
There will be a Grand Bounty Tournament held on the 1st Monday of every month following the previous months series.
This is how it works….
Players should play as many of the monthly series tournaments as they can. The bounties you collect during the tournament series have not only a cash value for that tournament but also a point value that will accumulate for the entire month.
Each time to you crack a Pro you receive bounty points. The $5.00 + $0.50 on Saturday pays 1/4 point for each Pro bounty you bust. Monday nights we have a $10.00+$1.00 tournament that pays 1/2 point for each Pro you can take out.
Your Bounty Points are combined for the Grand Bounty Tournament and when you bust a Pro they are used to multiply the cash bounty paid to you!
For example, Let’s say you’ve had a great month and collected 7 bounties. 2 in the $5.00 tournaments
and 5 in the $10.00 tournaments. You now have a total of 2 x 1/4 = 1/2 plus 5 x 1/2 = 2.
So 1/2 plus 2 1/2 is a total of 3 bounty points.
When you take out a Pro in the Grand Bounty Tournament their bounty is now worth 3 times as much to you! If the Pro has a $25.00 bounty then you will get paid $75.00! Talk about a serious boost to your bankroll!
The first Tournament in the series is this Saturday, January 6 at 3:00pm Eastern Time.
Monday night, January 8 at 8:00pm Eastern Time is the $11.00+$1.00 buy in Bounty Tournament.
Both Tournaments will be broadcast LIVE on PPNradio!
We will have tournaments at these same times every week leading up to the Grand Bounty Tournament in March.
Come on out and join us for this GREAT Bounty series and match your poker skills against the PPN Pro’s and other PPN players!
Multiple Deposit options through our own online wallet PPN.MyPaylinQ.com.
See Ya’ on the tables!
