Hey, Poker Playas!
It seems like just yesterday when the poker world was struggling to reopen and find its footing. Now, the landscape has dramatically shifted, with one million guaranteed events or more being held every week. The question remains: are these changes good or bad?
Change is inevitable. We can either resist it or adapt to it.
The small poker room in Cebu is choosing to adapt. As competition in Cebu intensifies, the Voyager Poker Club is making strides to stay ahead. Here’s what to expect from Voyager Poker Club in Cebu this July and August 2024:
Voyager Poker Club
The Early Bird
Something OLd but still works.
The Early Bird promo at Voyager Poker Club is still ongoing and continues to attract interest. Unlike in Manila, where the early bird bonus is given after two hours to ensure players stay to earn the bonus, Voyager Poker Club takes a different approach.
Here, the promo is given right at the start of the game. As soon as you buy in, the chips are added and are immediately in play. This approach results in higher action right from the beginning, making the games more exciting from the outset.
We advise players to arrive early, as seats are limited and the early bird bonus can make a significant difference in your chip stack. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to boost your game early on!
JULY weekends
200k GTD
For July, Voyager Poker Club in Cebu is catering to players with tight schedules by offering one-day tournaments. These events are perfect for those who don’t have time for multiple-day tours. Rondo Ral secured the first weekend tournament last week. Who will be the next champion? Stay tuned to find out!
1 Million GTD
Discount on Buy-in for early runners.
While other poker rooms struggle with low attendance on day 1A, Voyager Poker Club in Cebu has introduced a unique twist to attract players: a significant discount on the buy-in. A few years ago, a similar promo applied only to the registration fee, but Voyager has taken it a step further. The discount now exceeds both the buy-in and registration costs. Will this strategy be enough to boost attendance? Stay tuned!
What we can learn from Cebu
Cebu faces more challenges than Manila
If you carefully study the current events in Cebu, you’ll find more poker rooms per capita compared to Manila. Currently, Manila boasts seven poker rooms with two more set to open soon. Although the number of poker players in Manila remains robust, Cebu’s poker scene is intensely competitive with 5-6 poker rooms vying for attention.
Voyager Poker Club stands out as one of the few poker rooms in the Philippines that took the lead in getting players back on the felt and reintroducing live events. Voyager has been innovative, offering not just tournaments but also an experience that players can truly enjoy.
Facing challenges since the start of the year, Voyager has not backed down as competition grows. They continue to adapt and confront these challenges head-on. How Voyager navigates these waters could serve as a valuable lesson for both established and upcoming poker rooms. Stay tuned to see how Voyager Poker Club continues to innovate and thrive in this competitive landscape.
