In the past, 888.com (www.888.com) has run some exceptional promotions for its VIP players but the chance to win a $40,000 plus trip to Paris would have to top them all.

Mike Herea, Promotions Department Manager for 888.com (www.888.com), is thrilled to be associated with such a prestigious prize.

"I am not sure there is a person in the world who wouldn't be ecstatic at the prospect of going to Paris, especially at spring time. What a special prize which the whole family will never forget. Whoever wins this will have the time of their life."

The trip is only eligible for those who are VIP members. Those players who are not VIP members should consider signing up as this qualifies them for some fabulous prizes.

"Previous trips have included going to the Derby in London followed by tea at the Ritz. There was a trip to Las Vegas which included a plane and helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. There was a weekend away to Maui in Hawaii. There was a golf trip to Costa del Sol in Spain where they played at the world famous Valderrama course which once hosted the Ryder Cup and there was a weekend away to New York."

Two lucky VIP members will sample the 888.com (www.888.com) hospitality when they enjoy springtime in Paris. Flights and accommodation are also included in this amazing prize.

Anyone can join the VIP club as long as a few conditions are fulfilled.

"Although it's not an automatic upgrade, the player first needs to have accumulated 150,000 bonus points and have deposited $5000 to be considered," Herea said.

On November 20 there will be ‘Springtime In Paris' races. Playing in the race puts you in the running for the raffle.

The way to do it is deposit as least $200 during the event hours. The top 20 point accumulators are also in line to receive cash prizes. Each of the top three will win $1500.

The husband or wife may not be happy with you gambling online but win this prize and they will think it's the greatest thing you've ever done.
