Jamie Gold announces launch of new poker site

HOLLYWOOD, California -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Jamie Gold proudly announces the launch of www.FreeGoldPoker.com!!! The 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion has launched his own free poker site, to be hosted on the ZEN Entertainment Network. Prize pools totaling $100,000 will be awarded to players who play on the site each month.

Jamie Gold, also known as the “Poker Philanthropist,” is thrilled about the launch. “This is an amazing opportunity for me to create a fun, accessible and unique experience for the poker community. As importantly, I will be able to continue to accomplish meaningful, vital and life-changing charitable goals with the additional support and commitment of the ZEN platform. It will also provide my dedicated partners a platform beyond anything I could have imagined as we are now able to create targeted demographic promotions.”

“After Black Friday and all the negativity surrounding online poker, I asked myself what I could do to help our community enjoy playing a game they love legally while at the same time elevate awareness about the fantastic brands and amazing charitable opportunities I come into contact with on a daily basis,” Gold noted. “Creating FreeGoldPoker.com was the clear answer.”

“In the weeks to come, Jamie will be announcing a series of endorsement deals and charity partnerships which will be integrated into the promotions and events on FreeGoldPoker,” said Randy Kasper of Poker Players International (www.ppipoker.com), Jamie’s agent.

“We’ll be launching contests for such things as logo design and other unique fan experiences on www.JamieGold.com to go hand in hand with Jamie’s site on ZEN. He will be able to connect to the Poker community and the world in his own unique way,” added Matthew Spurr, CEO of PokerFacePR, the developer/digital media firm working with Gold.

To sign up and play individuals will go to www.FreeGoldPoker.com.
