PKR Reaches 2 million users

Next-gen poker room hits another landmark

London, September 4th, 2008 – PKR.com reached another major milestone today when it signed up its two millionth user, less then a year after hitting the one million mark.

According to PokerScout.com, the respected industry monitoring service, the next-gen poker site is the fastest growing online poker room that does not accept US players, and the second fastest overall. In an uncertain economic climate, this constant growth clearly demonstrates PKR.com’s increasing profile and presence within the online poker market.

Key factors to their continuing success include the launch of PKR TV, an hour long TV show that reaches a potential audience of over 15m across Europe, the introduction of the Club PKR loyalty programme and the publishing of Stacked, their consumer magazine.

Marketing Director, Simon Prodger said, “Only a handful of poker brands have ever reached this milestone, and none have done it so quickly and without taking US players. We are delighted with our progress and look forward to making our third year even better.”
