Online Poker News

Unknown by many in the UK but well know and controversial in the States, former NBA player Dennis Rodman, has reportedly signed a deal to serve as a celebrity spokesperson for Curacao-licensed OnlyPoker.com. The 48-year-old former Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons player signed the sponsorship deal last week with the online poker site currently displaying a photo of Rodman featuring the caption ‘The Bad Boy Is Back’.

Many online poker rooms in the North Americas just love to feature former sports stars and often the more controversial the star the better the reception they seem to get.  Within Europe the tendency is for not trying to entice potential players to their online poker sites through personality, but by offering tempting prizes, free plays and bonuses etc., all of which seems to work better in their culture.

Shane Warne “the king of spin” as we all know is down under trying his hand at more poker games and is well known for his love of a bet or two, what is it they say, “Aussies will bet on two flies crawling up a wall” well Shane is a great ambassador for the online casino industry, but it did not take long before his old mate Phil Tufnell to get in on the act.

Tufnell, known as the “cat” is a long time player at the tables and over the years has become a fan of the online poker scene where the full range of gaming can be played; these include old time favourites like blackjack, roulette, slots, poker bingo and much more.

Tufnell, a former England cricketer and ‘King of the Jungle’ from ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me out Of Here!’ will front a television, press and outdoor campaign for PartyCasino.com that will highlight the range of casino games available on the online casino site.

Continuing to battle seemingly against all odds a group of poker players led by the Poker Players Alliance and the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association, would like nothing more than the opportunity to argue in a United States court that poker is a game of skill and its online play is not prohibited by any federal law. This is a matter for the Americans to sort out of course, but here in the UK and Europe, online poker is enjoyed by millions.
