Since April 2016, when it was launched, FTRpoker has grown to become one of the more popular poker sites in the country. The poker site that is part of the Quadnet India Poker Network and shares player liquidity with Spartan Poker has undergone a significant rebranding exercise. The site officially re-launched in India today as Blitz Poker, associating with none other than Instagram-sensation Dan Bilzerian!

But for FTRpoker, it’s not just the name that has changed. Bilzerian’s extravagant and decadent lifestyle is the stuff of every poker player’s dreams. The site in its new avatar brings all that dazzling glamor under its fold at Blitz Poker.

Promising a “Bigger, Better, Ballsier gaming experience, Blitz Poker has gone live with a new design, new logo, and a new mission statement that should resonate well with its target audience. The Blitz Poker app is available on the app stores, ready to be downloaded. Players can use the code ‘PGBLZ’ when they register to avail of exclusive benefits.

 

1 Million Dan Bilzerian Freeroll

To celebrate the launch, Blitz Poker has thrown open a fantastic promotion, the grand Dan Bilzerian Freeroll.

Touted as ‘Dan’s Freeroll,’ the tournament will start at 8 PM on August 22 and holds a ₹1 Million (₹10 Lakh) prize pool. If that was not enough, the winner gets to pack his bags to go on an all-paid round trip to Los Angeles to party with Bilzerian himself!

 

The Switchover – What to Expect?

The rebranding move comes when online poker is on a tremendous upsurge the world over.

As Blitz Poker, the new site will offer players a safe and secure environment through certified RNG software. It also promises round the clock tournaments and cash game action, in NLHE and Omaha formats, with some of the popular games being Open Face Chinese Poker and Boost Poker.

However, there are essential stipulations that players need to bear in mind:

> A player can have only one account on the Quadnet Poker Network that includes Blitz Poker and Spartan Poker.

> If a player already has an account on the network and wants to switch to another poker room on the network, he/she has to contact the support team to lock his/her current account. Once done, he will have to make a new account in any poker rooms on the network.

> The change mentioned above can be done only once every six months.

> The balance from an old account (at one network site) on the network to a new account (at another network site) cannot be transferred. Any balance in the old account needs to be cashed out before moving to the new account.

> Marquee FTRpoker platform offerings like one-hand control on the app and instant play on the client remain the same.

> Player deposits and withdrawals will also continue as before.

> Tax calculations for exiting players on FTRpoker migrated to Blitz Poker will take into account past deposits and withdrawals for the current financial year.

 

Bilzerian Increasing Stake in Indian Gaming

Bilzerian may be a controversial celebrity, but his outrageously bold lifestyle has also made him one of the more popular figures in the poker industry!

The social media icon had created quite the buzz last September when he visited India for the first time. He even made an appearance at India Poker Championship’s (IPC) comeback series and played high stakes cash games at the Spartan Poker-operated Casino Big Daddy.

Around the same time, Bilzerian had also invested in Indian real-money fantasy gaming firm, Livepools. With his latest association with Blitz Poker, Bilzerian has further entrenched himself in India’s booming gaming space.

“India continues to be one of the fastest-growing markets when it comes to online gaming and online skill games. In the online poker realm, India has shown a lot of promise that has given me the confidence to throw in my chips as well. We are bringing in BLITZPOKER to India with a ton of features that will help us create a unique experience for the online poker players in India and make the game even more exciting,” Bilzerian said in an official statement.

He added, “Poker is a fairly simple game of skill however it takes a lot of practice and finesse to master the game. BLITZPOKER offers a unique playing experience to its players and helps make it a lot more exciting. I’m looking forward to see how the Indian poker players receive our offering.”

With Bilzerian on the team to promote its offerings, Blitz Poker certainly has taken an ambitious step in becoming a prominent player in the industry.
