September 15 - While many online poker rooms are bemoaning their loss of customers after they were forced to exit the US market following the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006, PKR.com online poker room has shown that having no foot in this market does not necessarily mean a lack of success.
PKR.com recently celebrated the registration of its two millionth member - without serving the US poker market.
What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that less than one year ago, the site served its one millionth customer. These statistics show that PKR.com is the fastest growing online poker site that is not accepting US players and, even more remarkably, the second fastest growing site in the industry overall.
The marketing director of PKR.com was naturally pleased with the news. "Only a handful of poker brands have ever reached this milestone and none have done it so quickly without taking US players," he said. "We are delighted with our progress and look forward to making our third year even better."
What makes PKR.com so popular? Online poker industry experts say that this site's product is so appealing because of a number of reasons. For one, its brand is distinct in looks as well as features. It uses a brilliant visually-superior three dimensional products and many unique features that take poker players to higher levels than their competitors. Customizable characters that can be clothed and accessorized at whim and remote control technology are just part of the fun at this site.
PKR.com's marketing strategy also seems to work wonders in order to reach as many players around the globe. The site enters the homes of over 15 million Europeans through a one hour television broadcast, PKR-TV and also through a published magazine called Stacked.
