Notes to Editors

www.celebpoker.com

• Celebpoker.com was formed in 2003 to become a major player in the online poker service providers sector.

Online Poker Websites - General Background
• The online poker gaming sector is still in its infancy, even though it has seen an increase of several thousand percent in turnover in the last two years
• One continent which is yet to be exploited fully in the online gaming sector is Asia where gambling is ‘THE’ favourite pass-time
• Currently online poker attracts largely the same demographics as offline poker. However, with the popularity of many online gaming and other entertainment product types available on the internet, it is reasonable to assume that online poker has the potential to be far more widespread than it’s offline sister, with the need to travel to a casino or organise a poker night with friends being unnecessary.
