Experiences Sharp Rise in New Poker
Players
Body:
Leading poker site, UltimateBet.com, reported an increase
in players and site activity during their Online Championship
along with additional growth in new poker players since Black
Friday.
UltimateBet.com's Online Championship has drawn attention from
poker players around the world since its start on December 1.
The ten day online
tournament celebrates poker pro Phil Helmuth's 10th bracelet
win and runs 10 online poker events guaranteed at $2,000,000.
With almost $1,500,000 in remaining guarantees, the best is yet
to come for players.
This massive event, coupled with a drastic increase in players
since the Black Friday shopping holiday, and the onset of the
winter season have sent numbers sky-rocketing by close to 60%.
Numbers are on the increase daily and show no signs of slowing
down.
"Increases occur also when many students and commuters opt
to stay home, rather than brave the early snowfall and traffic
disruptions. Many accounts that are routinely dormant during business
hours have gone active as many players opt to stay home and avoid
commuting in this weather." said UltimateBet.com spokesperson,
George Maclean.
UBOC's timing has been impeccable in providing players with hours
of entertainment online. "Most people brace for the cold,
we brace ourselves with great offerings for the winter,"
adds Maclean.
