Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) January 12, 2009
In a time when even the economy is a gamble, poker players need cost-efficient means to enhance their professional skills: The renowned ProPokerSchool.com [http://www.ProPokerSchool.com has recently announced that it will continue to provide its members with tips from professionals, but now membership is 100% Free!
Ranked as one of the top Internet destinations in the World for poker instruction and collaboration, ProPokerSchool members frequent the site to “Learn Before They Earn”. Owned and operated since 2004 by World Series of Poker Champion, Brett “Gank” Jungblut — an original member of “The Crew” [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/7371959/pokers_new_world_order , ProPokerSchool aims to educate poker players and tournament enthusiasts about game-play, strategy, events, high-rollers and poker culture.
“Gank,” as many know him from his online poker handle, entered the poker scene as a poker legacy (his father has been competing in WSOP events since the early 1980s). A foreseen winner-in-the-making, it was not long before Brett’s active play led him to his first WSOP bracelet in 2004, and 14 cashes lifetime in the WSOP. Such accolades have gained him the respect of virtually all poker professionals. As an entrepreneur and philanthropist, Jungblut decided that he needed to create a website which gave back to the poker community, at-large, by increasing poker awareness and specifically, educating players on proven professional methods of how to enhance their game.
After launching ProPokerSchool, one of Jungblut’s first initiatives was to support the Los Angeles Youth Network [http://www.LAYN.org by helping them to create an annual celebrity poker tournament — now successfully in its fourth year. A featured columnist in Bluff Magazine, Gank encourages players to learn from poker professionals, the same way any student would do in pursuit of an occupation. Jungblut attributes much of the success of his website to the “personal-touch” that he has been able to provide his fans and fellow poker players. He believes strongly in a forum approach where his students engage in conversation and analysis with himself and other teachers. In this way, student and teacher are able to learn from each other and take their game to a whole new level.
Currently, members receive the following benefits from joining ProPokerSchool:

Online Casino Vegas Red offers its players a novel application called “My Speedy Alert” that keeps them on track of all promotions & news at VegasRed.com without being logged into the Casino.
With the great success of its “My Speedy Alert” launch in 2008, Casino Online Vegas Red is looking to use this application further in 2009 to keep its members up to date with its latest offers and promotions. My Speedy Alert (http://www.vegasred.com/speedy_bonus.html) is a small application that is quick and easy to download and delivers instant updates directly to players’ desktops.
Long-time VegasRed.com member Brigitta K. of Canada explained: “It’s very convenient. I always know what the latest offer is at Vegas Red, and so I never miss a bonus that interests me. Another perk of the alert is that my email inbox is relatively empty as all casino notifications come straight to my desktop.”
The program is free, requires no personal details for registration, and sits unobtrusively on the desktop. To make the application even more enticing, Vegas Red gives all first-time “Speedy” downloaders a 25 free bonus (http://www.vegasred.com/bonus.html). This, of course, is in addition to the 888 mega-offer for new members at Vegas Red online casino.
“Vegas Red members are fun-loving partiers at heart,” explains online casino (http://www.vegasred.com/) manager Sarah Banks. “Through My Speedy Alert, we are able to easily remind our members of our special offers and exciting contests. Then all they need to do is log in and play!”
“For a player who has not yet downloaded My Speedy Alert, now is the perfect time,” added Banks, “as this weekend, 15-17 January, we are running a special offer for Video Poker players, and there will be a special live Blackjack tournament on 25th January, giving players more chances to walk away with extra cash.”
About Vegas Red:

London, UK (PRWEB) January 20, 2009
Since it launched last summer, new 3D online casino WinADay.com has been eagerly anticipating its first big progressive jackpot winner and it happened last week. An Italian player known as Monica68 won 116,200 ($ 148,724) while playing Wheeler Dealer, one of the five unique slot machines at the three dimensional casino site. This is the first progressive jackpot win at the new site. It was reset to $ 30,000 and has been increasing steadily ever since. If it’s anything like the jackpot at WinADay’s sister site, Slotland.com, it won’t be long before another player is celebrating a six-figure win.
“When I first discovered this 3D site I thought hey, this is different,” said the winner, still trying to believe her good fortune. “There’s something different about it alright! It made me a winner! This is the first time I’ve ever won any more than 50 and, mama mia, I can tell you, it feels fantastico!”
The second they arrive at the site, the WinADay.com experience is a totally new one for online casino players. Greeted at the door by the animated casino concierge, they are ushered into the main casino lobby where casino service staff help players choose between the five absolutely unique slots and video poker games waiting for them there.
WinADay.com games are based on the latest instant-play, no-download Flash technology that allows designers to incorporate the rich media content that today’s online game players expect. There’s nothing for players to download or install – they are in the 3D casino lobby, ready to play, in seconds. All games are original, built using proprietary software, and only available at WinADay.com. All games are tied to one progressive jackpot pool.
WinADay.com has made good on its promise to continually add new games and has added two new slot machines, Heavenly Reels and Gold Boom, since launching. Heavenly Reels is a four pay line slot adorned with heavenly cherubs and with angel wings that appeals to strategic slots players since, after checking the results of the first spin, players can hold any or all of the reels on their second spin. With symbols that hearken back to gold rush days, Gold Boom is a 9-wheel, 6-pay line slot machine that offers free bonus spins and awesome payouts. A sixth game is expected within weeks.
WinADay.com Affiliate Managers will be in London for CAP Euro
to discuss opportunities with current and prospective affiliates
and will be available to meet with journalists.

The collaboration between leading poker staking website, ChipMeUp and The Asian Poker Tour’s (APT) Poker Pack will see the five world-class pros put up a piece of their play at the 2009 Aussie Millions for the public to invest in.
The Asian Poker Tour is highly regarded as the biggest and most coveted tour in Asia with two successful stops under their belt in 2008 and an expanded tour in 2009. They have recently hand selected a team of talented individuals of Asian origin – dubbed The Poker Pack – who are ambassadors for the brand and share among themselves total live tournament winnings of over $ 22 Million.

ChipMeUp is a website that allows players to buy/sell shares of themselves at some of the world’s biggest live and online poker events. Subscription is free with only a small fee charged for players wanting to put up a percentage of their play.
Each Asian Poker Tour Poker Pack pro will put up 5 per cent of themselves in the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event that will feature a guaranteed AUD2 Million first prize. The Poker Pack members will be donating all funds received from their 5% sale to the Shane Warne Foundation (http://www.tswf.com.au).

CHIPMEUP members, hktom and coughshamen who managed to snap up shares in The Poker Pack, have also joined the charity drive and will donate winnings from their purchased shares. To buy a piece of The Poker Pack, visit ChipMeUp, find the player you wish to stake and simply transfer the funds.

London, England (PRWEB) January 23, 2009
DevilfishPoker.com is today celebrating its position as the leading brand on the world’s fastest growing poker network and its elevation into the premier league of liquidity with the news that its network, Entraction, has grown 108 percent in the past year and is now ranked 4th globally of open networks and 10th globally of all poker networks.
The ranking, conducted by PokerScout.com, is based on active cash game players and DevilfishPoker.com, as the most visible brand on the Entraction network, is delighted with the progress it has made since relaunching in May 2008.
Paul Barnes, CEO of Devilfish Gaming Plc, said, “The growth in liquidity over the last 6 to 8 months has been quite spectacular, with our network moving from 15th to 10th position worldwide. This, coupled with a dazzling array of new features and games released during the period, clearly validates our choice of gaming platform and enables us to offer our players a best-of-breed wide-ranging branded product.”
Liquidity on online poker websites is a key cornerstone for stability and growth in the online poker sector as indicated in a recent report from Daniel Stewart & Company.
Author of the report, analyst James Hollins said, “The issue of poker site liquidity has emerged rapidly over the past 12 months as the industry has reached a level of maturity whereby a number of consumers recognize the benefits of playing on a site with a diverse player base.
“The virtuous spiral then kicks in for the most liquid sites as these operators generate the highest levels of rake/cash to invest in the highest quality technology and the most marketing, attracting users of other sites and new players to the industry.”
