WBCOOP 2012 & Railbirds.com: Blog for your Chance to Win Cash and SCOOP Tickets

The Spring Championship of Online Poker is just around the corner and PokerStars is giving everyone a chance win huge cash prizes and even free entries into SCOOP events. What’s the catch? This is a blog contest so it’s time to put on your creative thinking cap. PokerStar’s wants to know, in either a 500-world blog post or 60 second short video, what would you do with $5,000 for winning the WBCOOP Best Blogger prize.

If you don’t have a blog page, then let me introduce you to Railbirds.com! Railbirds is a social networking site devoted to poker that boasts a membership of over 80,000! The site allows you you to write blogs, upload videos and pictures and send messages to other poker players on the site.

Throughout the years, Railbirds has connected poker players from around the world, sharing both their triumphs and agonizing close calls or bad beats. Thousands of new friendships have been created with bonds that will last a lifetime.

Groups of players have banded together and created a series of clan tournaments where they face off against each other on the virtual green felt. Railbirds also hosts its own ranking tournaments, with the top point earners every month winning cool swag prizes and other special promotions.
