CelebPoker.com Moves to I Poker Network

On August 12th, leading online poker room CelebPoker.com will move its poker operations from Boss Media to Playtech’s iPoker network, boosting monthly guaranteed online poker tournaments to well over $20 million.

The move comes after the UK-based company conducted a detailed review of its existing online operations, before concluding that customers would benefit greatly from the cutting edge technology offered by Playtech. The advanced software platform includes a huge range of gaming and table features that will enhance the poker experience for all players.

Immediate benefits to the players include, being able to compete against 35,000 other cash players on the tables and becoming part of CelebPoker’s VIP Club – one of the most aggressive and competitive rewards programmes of any internet poker room. In addition, the poker room will be unveiling an exciting new tournament schedule, which will give players the chance to compete for incredible cash prize pools and progressive jackpots and win sponsored packages to play in the world’s most coveted poker events.

“Since 2003, we have always tried to offer our players the best possible poker experience available on the internet,” said David Donovan, Founder of CelebPoker.com. “And after many successful years with Boss Media, we felt that the game had moved on and we needed to offer our players more. The iPoker network is held in very high regard by our valued customers. So we listened to them.”

“This represents a great move and a major step forward for CelebPoker. Not only will players benefit from monthly jackpots that are 20 times greater than before, but some of the promotions and sponsored packages on offer [to showcase live poker tournaments] are breathtaking.”

The fact that iPoker is the fastest growing network in the global gaming market was the driving force behind CelebPoker’s decision to move to the Playtech offering. It is also the first signal of intent as CelebPoker look to challenge industry front runners Pokerstars and Full Tilt, on their mission to make online poker bigger, better and more accessible for all players.

David Donovan added, “To celebrate the move over to iPoker we’ll be hosting a Welcome Freeroll poker tournament worth $10,000, on September 17th. This will be open to all depositing players, giving them the opportunity to test out the all new CelebPoker absolutely free. Good luck.”

CelebPoker Returns to Live Poker Circuit

Leading online Poker Room CelebPoker.com has bowed to popular demand and will shortly relaunch its acclaimed series of live off-the-wall poker tournaments across the UK and Europe.

After taking a few years off to concentrate on their popular online poker business, CelebPoker is returning to it roots - Live Poker Tournaments !

Renowned for their glitz and glamour, in the early noughties, CelebPoker’s live events were a hazy mix of skill, fun and wild after-show parties that were hugely popular and attracted celebrities from all walks of life. Including the likes of Teddy Sheringham, Victoria Silvstedt, Nick Leeson and Brian McFadden to name but a few.

CelebPoker are convinced that the nation’s obsession with celebrity culture will mean the new poker series will be bigger and better than ever. “I've lost count of the number of people who have asked us to bring back CelebPoker's live poker tournaments,” said David Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of CelebPoker.com. “The game's become too serious. We want to bring back the fun into the live arena. Imagine this: one minute you’re playing against your mates in the pub, the next minute you’re sat next to rogue trader Nick Leeson trying to work out if he's bluffing. Now that's what I call poker!”

Negotiations are taking place with some of Europe's leading casinos and venues, with a schedule set to be announced over coming months. Players can certainly expect to be entertained as they experience the celebrity lifestyle alongside big names from the world of sport, film, music, business. And of course, poker!

Players can expect all the strong competition and quality for which CelebPoker.com is renowned, with the chance of winning big money cash prizes. Initial event planning is being directed by the company’s own team to ensure that the carefully selected venues exceed the required standards.
“We don’t do things by halves, so when we announce the schedule, it will feature a series of tournaments that poker players want to be part of,” added David. “We believe you can have a great time playing poker without taking life so seriously. And we’re looking to put a smile on the faces of our players; apart from when they need to be poker-faced of course.”
