BODY:
VIP Management Services announced today the launch of its much-awaited
online poker product
VIPpoker.com. Operated by United Poker Network, this cardroom
allows all players from VIP's flagship sites VIPsports.com and
BetGameDay.com to experience live, real money online
poker with players from all over the world. "UPN has
done a fantastic job in delivering us this room, and the initial
feedback from all our players has been overwhelmingly positive,"
said Alistair Assheton, Managing Director of VIP.
Online poker is growing at a huge rate; according
to independent studies, the industry is developing at 10% per
month.
VIPpoker.com is built on brand new software architecture,
developed by the team of professionals at AceKicker.com. AceKicker's
design is based upon the operational experience of the longest
running online cardroom in the world. CEO Randy Blumer said, "Our
online poker solution
is designed to meet the demands of the industry's most reputable
and respected gaming organizations. We share VIPpoker's core values
of honesty and integrity and are proud to be selected as their
online poker provider."
The cardroom will be extensively marketed in all
the regions VIP operates, including via its European division
-- which recently obtained a UK bookmaker's permit, allowing it
to operate a sports betting business from Great Britain.
"Obtaining our UK bookmaker's permit is a natural next step
for us in seeking global approval for our products," commented
Assheton. "We are committed to regulation of Internet gambling,
and are also involved in the process of evolving the legislation
in our home jurisdiction of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles."
