- New Year's tournament, €2013 guaranteed on bridgebig.com
- @Maxim: Yes! We ran that promotion for the month of December (it's over now) to boost the number of players on the site, which increases the prize pools and the number of games - which we hope you would agree is a good goal. The €10 euro bonus was enough ...
