PlayersOnly Extends Entry Deadline for $10K Video Contest on YouTube

Promo video featuring Playboy/FHM model Carrie Stroup popular with YouTube Viewers

PlayersOnly.com online casino and poker room is extending the entry deadline for their $10,000 video contest on YouTube.com. Video clips showing what it takes to be a “player” can now be uploaded until March 15 to YouTube.com/Group/UnleashThePlayer.

“As word of the contest has spread, we’ve been getting lots of inquiries in the last few days,” said PlayersOnly.com manager Dave Anderson. “We think it will be worth the wait to give these guys a couple more weeks to get their video clips uploaded.”

The promo video for the contest, featuring PlayersOnly.com hostess and Playboy/FHM model Carrie Stroup, has been online at YouTube for a few weeks and is becoming a popular clip. Stroup, whose animated image welcomes players to the video-rich PlayersOnly.com casino lobby, is already a favourite with YouTube viewers for her Benchwarmer Girls and RipeTV appearances. She shot the promotional video for the contest at Venice Beach several weeks ago.

“I love fooling around with a video camera,” said Stroup. “I hope the guys have a lot of fun putting their entries together!”



PlayersOnly.com invites contestants to submit video clips showing themselves and their friends demonstrating what it takes to be a “player”. Or, for perhaps a bigger laugh, showing the exact opposite. Pay tribute to successful, confident players you admire, or parody wannabe players that just don’t get it. Secrets for success, sleezy pick-up lines, tongue-in-cheek dress-to-impress wardrobe tips – anything goes. The winner will receive a $10,000 prize and a night out with the site’s sexy hostess, Playboy/FHM model Carrie Stroup.

Anyone American over 18 with a video camera, an idea and a sense of humor can enter the free contest at the “PlayersOnly Unleash the Player In You Video Contest” page on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/groupUnleashThePlayer. Contest entries are available for viewing there and viewers are invited to assist the judging by commenting.

The winner of the contest, to be announced on March 15th, will receive a $10,000 deposit in their PlayersOnly.com account. PlayersOnly.com will also pick up the tab for a night out with their sexy and charismatic hostess, Carrie Stroup.

Carrie Stroup is the video hostess of PlayersOnly.com’s recently re-designed poker, casino and sportsbook site. She appeared in Playboy Magazine in September and in FHM in October of this year and had a whole room full of players drooling when she hosted PO’s WSOP party in Las Vegas last July. (Video clip from that event here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=12494914). Carrie has also appeared in NBC’s “Scrubs” and movies “Cellular”, “Starsky and Hutch”, “The Girl Next Door”, and “Redline”. She was in the MTV pilot “Living the Dream” and hosted “VIP Parties Uncensored”.
