We have found that creating value to the player is what separates good poker rooms from great ones and CelebPoker.com provides the most realistic poker experience you can have online. CelebPoker.com was recently awarded “Best Communication” to players by Top Pair Magazine April 2006.
Mirroring the success CelebPoker.com had on the European front in 2005, an equivalent amount of market share was gained in America during the same period. Being seen as the premier global celebrity poker room, CelebPoker.com was asked to deal the cards backstage at the World Music Awards show in Los Angeles in August. As the obvious choice for online celebrity poker play, CelebPoker.com was there teaching new celebrity players how Internet poker works, as well as sharing stories of poker exhilaration with current A-List celebrity players.
The brand recognition and word of mouth advertising of Celebpoker spread quickly through the US during summer 2005. The news starting in Hollywood made its way down to poker players online and offline alike. When the prestigious American Music Awards show was held in Los Angeles in late November, CelebPoker.com was asked yet again to come again to and draw the cards with Hollywood’s elite. The play continued throughout the awards and poker was played both online at CelebPoker.com as well as on the felt in front of the theatre. Multiple US magazines and television stations were present to catch the Celebpoker action.
