Online Gambling News and Promotions

The Space Race promotion, running between 1st March and 30th May will give all your players – old and new – the chance to get their hands on this incredible prize, with one lucky player winning a Space Adventures suborbital spaceflight. In this unprecedented sensory experience, rocket motors boost the winner beyond the normal limits of flight to regions above 100 kilometers – where space begins. As (s)he reaches her/his maximum altitude, the rocket engines shut down, and (s)he experiences up to five minutes of continuous weightlessness, all the while gazing at the vast darkness of space and the blue horizon of the earth below.

Incredibly, players could win this once-in-a-lifetime prize simply by registering an InterCasino account! So no deposit will be necessary in order to enter the prize draw. And the trip to suborbital space isn’t the only one-of-a-kind prize being offered by InterCasino in the Space Race promotion. The site is also giving players the chance to win a host of other extraordinary prizes and experiences, with a weekly prize draw offering exclusive rewards such as a five day trip for two to stay in the world’s only seven star hotel in Dubai and VIP race days tickets to see the Dubai World Cup horse racing. A trip to Monaco is also up for grabs, with the chance to watch the grand prix from the luxury of a marina yacht, experiencing one of the most famous races in the world in style.

Players will be given various opportunities to collect ‘stars’ at InterCasino in the Space Race promotion, with points awarded for registering, depositing and then wagering on slots or casino games. Each star earned is an entry into the main prize draw to win the suborbital space flight.
