If you’re a webmaster, a web-savvy person or just someone who has his/her way with words when it comes to poker, the WBCOOP is for you. All you need to do is to create a poker blog (make sure it’s at least 2 months old though before you start thinking about the WBCOOP) and post a verification code on it pointing to PokerStars’ WBCOOP page. Readers on your page will not only be able to tell that you’re a PokerStars WBCOOP candidate, they’ll also be able to follow the link, thus you’ll end up providing valuable traffic for PokerStars.

Don’t worry though, it won’t be for free. PokerStars will provide you value for it. Register with them and sign up for the WBCOOP. They’ll manually check whether your blog is indeed up and running, of the required age, and with their verification code intact. This may take several days, especially if there are lots of candidates. When everything is given the go-ahead by the PokerStars staff, you receive a ticket for the WBCOOP. Careful though, the fact that you have the ticket doesn’t necessarily mean that you are indeed registered for the event. If it were automated like that, half the participants would be sit-outs which wouldn’t really make a positive contribution to the quality of the experience. Actual registration only starts a few hours before the start of the event, and only those who have a ticket may register.

The total prize-pool is worth $40k, and it includes tournament buy-ins, chips sets, electronics and other goods.
