Default Is this $1K bonus email from empire genuine or phishing?

Dear xxxxxx,

Out of all Empire Poker players, you were chosen to join our new, exclusive
and rewarding plan.
How about extra $1000 real cash from Empire? Wouldn't that be something?
We developed a very simple and highly rewarding scheme, designed personally
for your needs.

Up to $1000 extra cash directly into your account according to the following
simple steps (no bonus restrictions):

Play 15-19 raked days a month and get $50.
Play 20-24 raked days a month and get $100.
Play 25 or more raked days a month and get $200.

*One offer is valid per month, according to the number of days played each
month.

Offer valid for duration of 6 month starting August 1st, 2005.

To join this special program, all you need to do is register at
www.empirepoker.com/1000offer and start collecting your funds!

However, when I click on http://www.empirepoker.com/1000offer

I actually get taken to

http://www.epvip.com/1000offer/

I don't know if epvip.com is legit or not.

Can't be too careful

Thanks

Edit: the website it goes to just asks me to enter the email address and username of my account - as if the phishers were trying to confirm they have my details. Also, there is no epvip.com homepage.
