PKR Poker To Introduce Sportsbook to Poker Site
September 21, 2009
PKR is pulling out all the stops to win over those new players. Observing that there was a huge crossover in demographics between online poker and online sportsbetting. Just look at the success of Bodog – and that’s almost certainly one thing PKR did in coming up with this decision. What decision?
The one to add a PKR Sportsbook to its PKR Poker site. The PKR sportsbetting offering will be provided in cooperation with Global betting Exchange (GBE), including use of GBE’s new and highly sought-after software iBroker.
This is a novel twist or a prevailing trend happening now in which many online sportsbooks are starting to add online poker and casino games and tournaments to their offerings. And here comes a poker site looking to add a sportsbook.
Could you imagine having two windows on your screen, like when you’re multitabling, except only one of the windows is a poker game or tournament you’re playing; the other one is the real-time stats on one or more sporting events that you’ve bet on without ever leaving the poker room (or even getting up from virtual poker table). It’s an incredible pairing for anyone who loves to gamble.
Word on the upcoming PKR Sportsbook is that it should be launching in 2010 and you can expect it to have the same sort of revolutionary 3-D graphics that PKR Poker uses for its poker games.
