PKR.com rises in rank

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- PKR.com, the world's most advanced poker room, has solidified its place in the online gaming hierarchy by jumping both Betfair and Ladbrokes to become the 17th biggest poker website.

Pokerscout.com, the respected industry source for online traffic rankings, has been tracking PKR.com's climb since their inclusion in December, 2007. With a highly successful marketing campaign, including both terrestrial and digital television channels, PKR.com's real money player base has expanded to a level that has seen off its well known competition.

Marketing Director Simon Prodger said, "PKR.com has experienced incredible growth since our launch in August, 2006. In just 18 months, we've become a very competitive site, with 10,000 concurrent players on at peak time. To have more traffic then sites like Betfair and Ladbrokes is a tremendous achievement, and we are thankful for the players for taking us to this level."

PKR.com, a stand alone site, has also stayed completely out of the US, meaning the company has never accepted cash bets from American players. It is currently ranked 5th amongst other stand alone, non-US poker sites.
