After two years of development, American firm HogWildPoker LLC has launched new online poker technology at HogWildPokerLeagues.com that enables players to create and manage their own leagues and tournaments.
The Louisville-based firm revealed that HogWildPokerLeagues.com utilises a high-quality platform that surpasses the technology offered by major online poker venues to allow players to complete remotely against their friends and family.
Entrepreneur Jeff Amrein, Chief Executive Officer for HogWildPoker, stated that the idea for HogWildPokerLeagues.com came while he was participating in a neighbourhood league several years ago.
“It was always tough to get everyone together at once,” said Amrein.
“We thought, wouldn’t it be easier if we could all show up online once a week. Once we built this, attendance in our league shot way up.”
Joe Luber, President for HogWildPoker, described HogWildPokerLeagues.com as ‘an inexpensive way for friends in different area codes to play poker on a regular basis’.
“With the headset feature, you can play with friends anywhere while talking about the way your buddy just busted with pocket kings,” said Luber.
HogWildPokerLeagues.com requires no download and has eliminated rake with each league receiving their own free website for player stats, pictures and schedules. Pricing is based on the site’s unique token system, which rewards players for certain activities.
“As examples, if a player wins a game, they win a token,” said Luber.
“If they invite friends, they receive tokens. You don’t pay anything until you run out of tokens and some players will never run out.”
Luber further stated that creating a league takes only a matter of minutes with its unique organiser inviting friends to join before scheduling games. It also sends out reminders automatically before invitees confirm to play.
“We believe there are poker fans around the world who will love what we’ve created,” said Amrein.
“This takes poker in a new direction and we’re excited to launch HogWildPokerLeagues.com.”
