Olympic time means 1 thing over at the bet365 Casino, it means everyone has the chance of Going For Gold. So good luck goes out to all the competitiors heading for Beijing and the Olympic Games. With a bit of luck this will be a very good games for team GB and will give a great grounding and promise for the Olympics to return to the UK shores in 2012. I’m not sure where team GB usually finish but I still don’t think we can compete with the likes of China or the US but third place should be our goal if you ask me.

As the world gathers for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Casino at bet365 is marking this great occasion with their own incredible £50,000 Going For Gold promotion.

Over the course of the Olympic Games there are 20 exciting Going for Gold events taking place at bet365 where players can compete for both cash prizes and medals. The more medals that you win, the higher up the leaderboard you are placed and greater your chance of winning the top prizes.

In each event, the top 100 players will each win a medal. The first 15 players will receive a Gold medal, the next 35 players will win a Silver medal and the next 50 will be rewarded with a Bronze medal. At the end of the competition, players will be awarded cash prizes according to their final position on the leaderboard and their status in the bet365 VIP Royalty Scheme.

“We’re aiming to emulate the spirit and excitement of the Olympic Games with this promotion” explains Tom Galanis, Casino Marketing Manager at bet365. “Here anyone from many nations is welcome to participate and compete for the glory of victory. Everyone has a chance of winning a medal plus the opportunity to win one of our great cash prizes.”

As well as the Going For Gold promotion which runs from the 9th to the 24th of August, there are many other reasons to visit the Casino at bet365. These include progressive jackpots on the slots worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, the thrill of live dealer Blackjack and Roulette, an excellent Royalty Scheme and a wealth of information to help improve your game.

So whether you’re Going for Gold this August or just want to experience heart pounding fun at one of the best casinos on the internet, remember that there’s always something for everyone in the Casino at bet365.

Why not get into the Olympic spirit and take part in one of the twenty competitions over at the bet365 casino. While you’re there drop in and play some of the other amazing games they have on offer. Personally I’ll be there trying to drop 21 on the blackjack tables and hear the shout - “winner, winner, chicken dinner” and at the same time trying to land a full house on the poker tables, but in my experience that is not always good enough.

Control yourself though, we don’t want things getting out of hand and your life turning into a Guy Ritchie movie, do we.
