Leading online poker site PKR.com is celebrating its one-year anniversary and has announced that it has seen over 12 million visits and more than 900,000 registered players since its founding.
PKR.com launched in August of 2006 to offer online players a three-dimensional gaming experience. Despite the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the United States that kept the site out of the large US market, it said that it is going strong despite choosing to launch as a stand-alone operator.
''We''re very excited about our first-year results and it''s definitely cause for celebration,'' said Simon Prodger, Marketing Director for PKR.com.
''But we have no intentions of resting on our laurels. PKR has set very aggressive growth targets for the next twelve months and we''re looking forward to even bigger and better things to come.''
Prodger said that PKR.com has seen more than 50,000 unique logins per day on average since its inception with as many as 7,500 players logging in and playing at once. The site has given away nearly $270,000 in freerolls and over 870,000 real-money sit-and-goes have been played.
In addition, the site has seen more than 150 million real and play-money hands being dealt.
“PKR made a bold promise when it launched a year ago, saying it would change the way online poker is played forever,” said Prodger.
“Since then, nearly a million players have registered to check out the three-dimensional play and the site has become well established in the poker scene as growth exceeded all expectations.”
