Can 12 average people become Millionaires playing Poker?Playsafe has just bet millions they can. Clive Archer has joined Playsafe AS to fulfill a dream of turning average players into Poker millionaires . Up to 50 players will be selected to by the new Million Dollar Poker Club to become Daniel Negreanu protégé’s and be coached by him and 15 additional coaches - each of whom have won more than a million dollars playing poker. They include Scotty Nguyen and Tom McEvoy. 

The players will attend week-long live coaching tournaments, one-on-one seminars and online programs over a period of two years to see if they can become million dollar winners. The new  Million Dollar Poker Club will also satellite their players into million dollar tournaments all over the world holding at least 50 such tournaments per year. These satellites will send players to Dublin, Prague, Monte Carlo, Vegas and Macau to participate in everything from the Irish Masters, to the EPT and APPT, as well as WSOP to mention just a few. 

It is understandable that this has not made Clive too popular with some of the more established sites. His response is “I simply don’t care. Let’s face it, there are almost a thousand poker sites out there and the leaders all have a gigantic marketing war-chest. The only way for a poker operator to compete with them is to change the rules of the game. I've joined Playsafe to do just that, to change the rules and create a true community poker site. The Million Dollar Poker Club is intentionally breaking all the rules, the way low cost airlines have rocked the formerly cozy airline industry. 100% commissions are just the start. We are also satelliting players into competitors’ online tournaments and enlisting their stars to teach our players.  

Playsafe will break any rule that is not in the best interest of our players and if our competitors don’t like it tough for them. Our only focus is our players and the affiliates that bring them to us. “

A Poker Revolution is on the Horizon at the Million Dollar Poker ClubThe New Revolution of Poker play is on the horizon with PlaySafe's Million Dollar Poker Club. Would you send your best Poker customer to the competition?

Clive Archer has joined Playsafe AS to fulfill a dream of creating a  series of next generation poker sites based on the principles of social networks.  His first step is the Million Dollar Poker Club . The first clue to its unique structure is the fact it’s a club. But it doesn’t stop there. It also has free weekly million dollar tournaments, dozens of trips to live tournaments and sixteen coaches that have each earned more than a million dollars playing poker - including Daniel Negreanu, Scotty Nguyen and Tom McEvoy.

Now you might think Daniel and Tom are tied to PokerStars. Well they are but that isn’t stopping the Million Dollar Poker Club from using Daniel to teach their top 50 members for a year online or from flying others to Vegas to be trained by world champion Tom McEvoy. Clive says; “We simply don’t care whether these coaches work for others. We just want the best for our members. We’ll gladly send a player to a live or online tournament sponsored by others whether it’s an EPT tournament an APPT tournament or the WSOP . Every week we will send players to PokerStars Weekly Million. The only difference is we send them for free and absorb the fee. We will send our players anywhere if it helps them become a Million Dollar winner , and we don’t even collect a commission from the site that receives the player.”
