Webroute Services has set the wheels in motion announcing the first of CAP Euro’s schedule of ‘out of hours’ entertainment

On Wednesday 21 May, Day 1 of Spring Break 2008, CAP partygoers will enjoy an Arabian Nights Beach Party courtesy of the affiliate program for Webroute Services and, as you probably remember from the CAP Awards, Webroute Services spare no expense when it comes to organising a party. Yoni Sidi CEO of Webroute Services commented:

“CAP Spring Break is all about the industry coming together and networking, establishing new contacts and generating new business whilst sipping cocktails by the pool and relaxing in the sun.  We are absolutely delighted to once again be supporting CAP by hosting the first night party which is promising to be a fantastic night for all.”

The party kicks off at 9pm and is situated just 3 minutes walk down the beach from the CAP Spring Break’s base camp, Grand Resort hotel. The designated beach area which becomes a purpose-built venue for the night will be illuminated with candles and lights making it clearly visible from the hotel, with easy access for those taking the CAP party “pilgrimage” across the sands.

Free drinks will be on offer for the first two hours, with barmen serving from an extensive local and international selection. Guests can also refresh with some light bar snacks - crisps, nuts and popcorn.

The private beach area will be an oasis of middle-eastern luxury decorated with tents, torches & candles, and several sympathetically designed pockets of activity, capturing a fine balance between soft seclusion with low tables and plush red, gold and deep purple cushions, and lively ‘meet and greet’ spaces with high cocktail tablesLive entertainment will come in the form of belly dancers and stunning hostesses in themed dress. A DJ will carry us through into the early hours with some exotic beach-side grooves.So whether you want to ease into the four unforgettable days ahead or “rev up”, grab a strategic spot in the standing bar area, and get networking, this party will be an unmissable opening event to our best yet CAP Spring Break. 

Following an incredible fourth event in London in January the ASOP (Affiliate Series of Poker) is back and is set to be even bigger and better than ever before 

The ASOP (as seen on the Poker Channel Europe) is an international series of poker tournaments specifically for affiliates. The massive prize pools of $20,000 along with gold and diamond winner’s bracelet ensures the competition is always fierce! But what makes this series really unique is that taking part in the qualifying freerolls is completely free of charge; you just have to be an affiliate registered to attend the offline event where the tournament will take place.  

The next ASOP event will be taking place with a backdrop of sun, sea and surf. The event is being held on the sun drenched holiday island of Cyprus during CAP SpringBreak and the Poker Conference and as always will be filmed and shown on the Poker Channel Europe.  

Unlike previous tournaments though, the field of players is going to be upped to 50 and played as a freeze out following feed back from previous final table qualifiers. Due to legal reasons the organisers are unable to give out cash prizes at this event, however has only ensured even better prizes which now include a seat in the WSOP main event, an even bigger and more bling winner’s bracelet plus paid accommodation in Barcelona for the top 6 finalists.  

Commenting on the ASOP Jeremy Enke, General Manager of PokerAffiliatePrograms.com said: 

“With the amazing growth and recognition of the ASOP tournaments, we wanted to make the poker conference event extra special.  So we decided to go “all-in” and give the winner a WSOP main event package, as well as the coveted diamond ASOP bracelet.  With over $20,000 in value to the winner, I can’t think of a better affiliate freeroll in the history of our industry.” 

Since the first ASOP in London back in January 07 the tournament has rapidly grown in popularity with as many as 100+ affiliates trying to qualify in each of the freerolls and with the past champions all looking for a second bracelet this is looking to be the toughest ASOP yet. 

To register for the ASOP go to www.asop.com but don’t forget you have to be an affiliate and be attending CAP/PAP events in Cyprus otherwise you won’t be approved. For this event the sponsors are Everest Affiliates and AffiliateClub.com who deserve big thanks because it wouldn’t happen without those guys. The freerolls themselves will be taking place on the sponsor’s sites from mid April 08 to mid May 08.

I have had a few people email me asking about the best way to get to Cyprus is and what a lot of people have done is buy a cheap return to London and then buy the onward trip seperately - the companies listed below all fly to Cyprus from London . Also look at going via Amsterdam or Tel Aviv as they are also cheap to fly to and also have connecting flights companies

Prime Gaming and EGO (the affiliate arm of RedKings and BGroom) have announced they will be jointly hosting a beach barbeque onThursday 22nd May

In true CAP SpringBreak style the first sponsored event announced by the organizers is a fantastic beach barbeque taking place on the first full day of the event straight after the final table of the ASOP (Affiliate Series of Poker) so the winner can celebrate in true Cyprus style.

Like any event that takes place at CAP SpringBreak this won’t be just any old barbeque on the beach with warm beer and burnt sausages. In fact the sponsors have promised this will be a party you won’t want to miss out on with plenty of surprises and Cypriot themed twists to the event from souvlaki, sheftlalia and haloumi to specially selected Cypriot cocktails and surprises.

“I am really pleased excited about this event – It really shows the commitment these guys have for making CAP SpringBreak in Cyprus the best one yet” commented Louis Fabiano, founder of CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com and CAP SpringBreak. “You just can’t beat hanging out at a barbeque with friends and colleagues from the affiliate community, and not just any barbeque, this is the ultimate in barbeques with an incredible location coupled with traditional Cypriot food and drink.”

The barbeque itself will be taking place at Drops Café bar which is located literally on the beach providing affiliates with an incredible backdrop of sun, sea and sand to enjoy – In fact the barbeque runs all the way from midday to seven pm which means guests will also be able to enjoy the incredible Cyprus sun set before setting off for the next CAP SpringBreak event!

If you want to thank the sponsors before or after the event you will find them both exhibiting at the Poker Conference, which takes place for the two days preceding CAP SpringBreak. Their well known brands include RedKings Poker, BGroom, Prime Casino, Prime Poker and Prime Scratchcards.

After 5 successful years,  CAP Spring Break, the biggest 4 day affiliate party in the industry is on tour and crossing the Atlantic to the luxurious island of Cyprus

For the past 6 years CasinoAffiliatePrograms.com have organized a fun, casual networking spring break event in paradise locations ranging from Miami Beach to the Bahamas and 2008 will be no different with the event moving to the sunny shore of Cyprus from May 21^st – 24^th which is immediately after the Poker Conference happening in the same venue.

Each year hundreds of the most progressive and influential people in the industry descend to a luxurious location to attend fun and exciting networking events sponsored by the leading internet gaming properties. CAP Spring Break is not your typical conference. This event not only seeks to educate and influence the industry, but also grows affiliate relationships via friendly networking. It is like no other event you have ever been to before and will change your entire outlook on how a business event should be run, Louis Fabiano, Founder of Casino Affiliate Programmes commented:

“CAP Spring Break is coming to Europe and it looks to be our biggest and best gathering yet! Of the all the conferences and gatherings we do each year this is my personal favorite and most CAP Members agree. Cyprus with it’s beautiful beaches, great clubs, and inexpensive drinks is the perfect fit for CAP Spring Break. Mrs. Professor and I are already packed!”

The event is being staged at the newly refurbished Grand Resort, a 5* luxurious beach side resort in the sunny and popular holiday town of Limassol. Perfectly situated just 30 minutes away from both of the islands two airports, the holiday resort is an ideal host for such an international and varied delegation of affiliates and operators alike. This year’s event is backing onto a new entry in the affiliate conference industry. The inaugural Poker Conference 2008, will take place on May 19^th to 21^st at The Grand Resort, directly preceding Spring Break. Having two events in the one hotel, both free for affiliates to attend, should guarantee a good turnout and a spectacular event.

With such a relaxed atmosphere business is far more easily achieved and pool side meetings with a frozen margherita are a guaranteed. The event motto of ‘Outdrink, Outplay, Outearn’ ensures this is going to be one hell of a party!

The site is almost there, just registration and photos to add now which means I am now officially excited about CAP SpringBreak - I will be regularly updating the blog so keep checking back and just to get you excited we already have two parties sponsored and a luxurious lunch at a beach side location!
