On Friday 10th June at 8pm UK Time, most football fans in Europe, as well as plenty of punters across the continent, will have their eyes trained on the Stade de France in Paris where host nation 
France will kick off Euro 2016 by taking on Romania in the opening game.
As you would expect with the start of a major sporting event, there are plenty of promotions available for the event on sports betting sites, plus a couple of casino sites too. However when it comes to poker, there is one offer that stands out above all others and that is Bet365 Poker’s exciting Football Fever promotion.
You do need to be a Bet365 Poker customer to participate in the promotion, but it is simple to join and we’d heartily recommend you take a look at our review page where we take a look at the Bet365 Poker bonus codes you need in order to sign up and get the maximum out of joining.
So once you are signed and logged in, you can now head off to start playing in this outstanding and slightly different format promotion at Bet365 Poker immediately.
Football Fever at Bet365 – An overview
If you have been playing at Bet365 Poker over the last six months or so, then you will know that the site has been running several ‘missions’ based promotions and these have proven very popular with its customers.
The Football Fever promotion is another of these ‘missions’ themed offers, but with a slight difference in that there are two distinct stages to the offer and different ways to qualify depending on if you are a new or existing customer with the site.
Bet365 have organised the Football Fever promotion into two stages, so let’s take a look at the first stage of the offer.
Football Fever – Stage One – Kick off Missions (1st – 10th June)
The initial stage of the offer is running at this very moment and continues up until the 10th June when the tournament starts in earnest. In this part of the promotion, you are completing missions to earn yourself a place in the Kick Off First Half Freeroll. This freeroll takes place once per day in the first stage.
The missions you need to complete to earn a place in the Kick Off First Half Freeroll are outlined below:
| Mission Description | Prize Awarded | How often are they available |
| Play a total of 30 hands on cash tables (6+ hold’em, No Limit Hold’em or Speed Hold’em) and three Twister Sit & Go games | One Kick Off First Half Freeroll tournament token | One per day (maximum 10) |
| Deposit or transfer €10 or more into your Bet365 Poker account and play a total of 10 hands on cash tables. (6+ hold’em, No Limit Hold’em or Speed Hold’em) | One Kick off First Half Freeroll tournament token | Once per qualifying period (maximum 1) |
You can earn up to 11 entries into these freeroll events and if you qualify for the Kick Off First Half Freeroll, then you could then earn yourself a place in the Kick Off Second Half Freeroll, which 
has a guaranteed cash prize of €15,000 to be shared.
The top 750 players in each Kick Off First Half Freeroll will earn themselves a place in the Second Half Freeroll and a chance to play for a share of that prize money. There is just one Kick Off Second Half Freeroll event which takes place on Friday 10th June to finish off this initial opening stage of the offer.
Football Fever- Stage Two – Football Missions (10th June – 10th July)
As Stage One of the promotion ends, so Stage Two of Football Fever at Bet365 begins and this stage is entitled “Fooball Missions” and it runs for the duration of the Euro 2016 tournament, from the 10th June through until the final is played on the 10th of July.
Each day there are two missions you can complete and each will earn you a token into one of the two €1,000 Fever Freeroll tournaments that are competed each day.
The missions are on a weekly timetable and repeat throughout the four weeks of the promotion, so you will complete the same missions every Monday of the promotion and so on.
The details of each of the missions are outlined in the table below:
| Dates | Mission One | Mission Two | Prize Awarded |
| 13th, 20th, 27th June and 4th July | Play 3 Sit & Go (including Twister Sit & Gos) with a buy in of €1 or more | Play 25 hands at a cash table (6 + Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em & Speed) | €1,000 Fever Freeroll token |
| 14th, 21st, 28th June and 5th July | Play 3 Sit & Go (including Twister Sit & Gos) with a buy in of €1 or more | Play a total of 50 Hands at the Speed Poker tables | €1,000 Fever Freeroll token |

| 16th, 23rd, 30th June and 7th July | Play 3 Sit & Go (including Twister Sit & Gos) with a buy in of €1 or more | Play a total of 10 hands at the Six Plus Hold’em tables | €1,000 Fever Freeroll token |
| 17th, 24th June and 1st, 8th July | Play 3 Sit & Go (including Twister Sit & Gos) with a buy in of €1 or more | Play at any cash table and be dealt hole cards of a pair of tens, jacks, queens, kings or aces | €1,000 Fever Freeroll token |

The great news is that if you manage to participate in five or more Freeroll events by completing five or more missions, then you will earn yourself a place in the final tournament of the promotion.
This is the Fever Finale and it is here that the single biggest prize pool, a huge €25,000 is waiting to be shared out by the lucky players finishing in the cash out positions.
Entry into the Fever Finale is strictly one entry per customer, so once you have earned your entry you cannot earn another. This final event takes place on Sunday 10th July.
New Bet365 Poker Customers – Fast Track €25,000 Mission available from 2nd to 10th July
If you sign up to Bet365 after Saturday 2nd July, then don’t worry, you don’t have to miss out on this promotion as if you deposit €10 into your account and play in just one €1000 Fever Freeroll event, then you will earn a fast track seat into the Fever Finale on the 10th July.
With so many missions to play, so many ways to play and a fantastic €100,000 up for grabs over the duration of the competition, you’d be crazy not to catch a bit of the Football Fever going round Bet365 Poker this summer.
