UK live and online poker room Dusk Till Dawn (DTD) is expanding on the trend to offer lifestyle promotions, by offering a private jet trip to the WPT Cyprus in September.
The DTD poker room operates on the iPoker network, but this promotion is restricted to DTD players.
Satellites to the £500 buy-in qualifying tournament start at £5. The £500 buy-in final, which offers five £10,000 packages will take place on September 2.
The trip is scheduled for September 5 to September 11, and includes the six-seater private jet flight to and from Cyprus, six nights accommodation at the Merit Hotel and Casino and the $4,400 buy in for the $1 million guaranteed WPT North Cyprus Main Event.
Professional player Simon “Aces” Trumper will take the sixth seat and is as excited about the trip as the players will be.
“So plead with your partner, beg your boss for the time off, whatever you do, don’t miss this chance to accompany me to Cyprus for the trip of a lifetime and live the high life… Don’t forget to bring your cameras :),” he exhorts on the promotional web page.

Trumper also points out that the jet alone costs £50,000, so the excess costs of the package are being covered by the DTD management.
DTD CEO Rob Young expressed his desire to offer more lifestyle prizes after a Caribbean Poker Party in St Kitts which the casino organized last year.
That event “whet our appetite for more adventures outside of our four walls,” he promised—and now he is delivering.
The casino he established in Nottingham, a town in the centre of the UK landmass, has become one of the largest live poker venues in Europe. It offers 45 poker tables and a regular schedule of live events, as well as private tables on its online poker room for casino members.
The International Stadiums Poker Tour (ISPT) event at Wembley Stadium was rescued from ignominy, when Rob Young put his personal guarantee on the prize money and took over the active management of the live event.
