SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 09/08/08 --
PurePlay the largest legal U.S.
play-for-cash
online poker
destination, today announced it has expanded its player ranks to over 1.5
million competitors and has disbursed more than $4 million in cash prizes.
PurePlay's player base and jackpot outlay are unmatched among legal U.S.
poker sites.
"We are committed to staying at the forefront of legal online poker, and
that means pulling out the stops in giving our members the excitement of
competitive play and generous cash prizes without exposing them to the risk
of losing their own money," said PurePlay CEO Jason Kellerman. "No other
poker site has implemented this approach as successfully as we have in
attracting players at all levels and delivering an online gaming experience
that keeps them coming back."
PurePlay, which hosts online poker rooms and tournaments, offers cash
prizes to both play-for-free members and subscribers who pay a low monthly
fee. Subscribers receive key benefits including access to cash tournaments
with over $150,000 in monthly prizes, individual performance ratings that
enable them to play with others at the same skill level, live chat customer
support and no ads during game play.
An important reason for PurePlay's unmatched player base is its range of
popular tournament offerings. PurePlay's World Series of Poker*
Tournaments award free seats to the WSOP* Main Event in Las Vegas. This
year, no other U.S.-based poker site sent more contenders to the Main Event
than PurePlay. PurePlay aims to repeat this achievement for the 2009
WSOP*. PurePlay is also attracting players with its $10,000 Classic
Tournaments and continuous opportunities to win cash with no risk, no
buy-ins and no deposits.
