The first time the Gladiator reared his head at PartyPoker was November 2009. And his appearance was such a popular success that PartyPoker has invited him back for another big money challenge.

The latest Party Poker Gladiator challenge takes place from March 3 to April 1, during which time players must earn at least 10 PartyPoints per day for at least 5 days of the promotion in order to win some amount of prize money.

There are 9 levels in all, with successively higher targets of PartyPoints per day that must be reached, as high up as 2,000 PartyPoints per day. Also increasing in concord with the amount of prize money at stake is the number of days in which a player earns from 10 – 2,000 PartyPoints.

And unlike in Gladiator promotions past, you do not need to earn these points on consecutive days in order to qualify for a reward.

The lowest level prizes are freeroll entries with prize pools of $10,000, $`15,000, and $25,000, respectively, all of which take place on April 3 at 2:30 pm ET. From there, cash prizes range from $15 up as high as $7,500.

The top prize in The Gladiator promotion goes to the players who can accumulate 2,000 PartyPoints per day for each day of the entire 30-day period. That top prize is a World Series Poker main event prize package valued at $12,500. Of course, it is taken for granted that you understand if you win one of these prize packages, you must wear PartyPoker gear while you play at the event.

Before you start playing at the Party Poker real money tables and accumulating PartyPoints towards your targets, you must first go to the PartyPoker lobby and opt-in to The Gladiator promotion.
