PKR on the march

Continuing its impressive growth PKR.com and has overtaken industry stalwarts Cryptologic and Entraction to claim 15th spot in the online poker rankings at Pokerscout.com.

This new ranking represents a two place rise and comes less than five months after the next generation poker room passed big name competitors Ladbrokes and Betfair in early 2008.

PKR.com has expanded its reach into the poker market through highly innovative marketing campaigns.

The introduction of PKR TV, which features the best of PKR tournaments and is broadcast on television across Europe and online via YouTube, has also fuelled growth.

Marketing Director Simon Prodger said, “Poker has been the most competitive sector of online gaming in the past year. Despite this immensely tough marketplace, PKR.com continues to grow thanks to its highly unique and innovative offering”.

PKR.com, a stand alone site, has never accepted cash bets from American players. It is currently ranked fifth amongst other stand alone, non-US poker sites.
