PKR hits 5 million player mark

LONDON -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Next-generation online poker room PKR.com has today announced that it has reached the major milestone of 5 million registered users.

PKR’s registered user base has grown consistently since its launch in late 2006, and demonstrates the enduring appeal of its innovative approach to online poker.

The milestone caps a busy period for PKR, and follows the recent development of a robust and scalable virtual goods system, the most popular Oktoberfest tournament festival to date and the announcement of the sponsorship of a second WPT event in Dublin.

Simon Prodger, Marketing Director at PKR, said: “We’re delighted to hit this major milestone, and we look forward to continuing to welcome more and more poker players from around the world to PKR. We have a range of marketing initiatives and product developments scheduled for launch in 2013 that we’re sure will continue to grow the PKR brand, including new TV advertising campaigns and the eagerly awaited launch of our first mobile poker product.”
