ONLINE POKER

 

 
      
New Tournament Platform from MonkeyBet.com

Players looking to start their own tournaments in poker no longer have to worry about booking a bar or club and having the police come in and shut everything down just when the action is heating up. A new announcement from MonkeyBet.com, a leading online poker room, casino, and sportsbook, is good news for anyone who has wished to start their own unique gaming experience. MonkeyBet.com recently released the first community poker platform. Players at MonkeyBet.com can decide on all aspects of their tourneys, including buy-ins, game type, speed of play and other players, as well as variables.


Players can make their tournaments public or private. Private tournaments can have their own password created by the tournament creator, and the password can be emailed to other players along with a URL and link to the tournament tables. Poker players can also set up their own personal home page, which includes links to their online tournaments and their community. The first community is already up and running at www.hokiepoker.com, and is well attended by fans of Hokie football and other poker players from around the globe. Details are on the site for how to set up your own similar site.


Jeff Fuller, senior vice president of Business Development at MonkeyBet.com said, “At MonkeyBet.com, we are trying to bring the camaraderie of Friday night poker games between friends to the internet.”


There are thousands of interested communities online. Any group dedicated to a special interest can now include their own unique poker tournaments to draw others with similar interests as well as offering another opportunity to build the group atmosphere of their community. MonkeyBet.com expects 1000 communities of interest sites to be created during 2006. Fuller concluded, “We are fulfilling the promise of the internet, by bringing like minded people from around the globe together.”
