CelebPoker.com Moves to I Poker Network

On August 12th, leading online poker room CelebPoker.com will move its poker operations from Boss Media to Playtech’s iPoker network, boosting monthly guaranteed online poker tournaments to well over $20 million.

The move comes after the UK-based company conducted a detailed review of its existing online operations, before concluding that customers would benefit greatly from the cutting edge technology offered by Playtech. The advanced software platform includes a huge range of gaming and table features that will enhance the poker experience for all players.

Immediate benefits to the players include, being able to compete against 35,000 other cash players on the tables and becoming part of CelebPoker’s VIP Club – one of the most aggressive and competitive rewards programmes of any internet poker room. In addition, the poker room will be unveiling an exciting new tournament schedule, which will give players the chance to compete for incredible cash prize pools and progressive jackpots and win sponsored packages to play in the world’s most coveted poker events.

“Since 2003, we have always tried to offer our players the best possible poker experience available on the internet,” said David Donovan, Founder of CelebPoker.com. “And after many successful years with Boss Media, we felt that the game had moved on and we needed to offer our players more. The iPoker network is held in very high regard by our valued customers. So we listened to them.”

“This represents a great move and a major step forward for CelebPoker. Not only will players benefit from monthly jackpots that are 20 times greater than before, but some of the promotions and sponsored packages on offer [to showcase live poker tournaments] are breathtaking.”

The fact that iPoker is the fastest growing network in the global gaming market was the driving force behind CelebPoker’s decision to move to the Playtech offering. It is also the first signal of intent as CelebPoker look to challenge industry front runners Pokerstars and Full Tilt, on their mission to make online poker bigger, better and more accessible for all players.

David Donovan added, “To celebrate the move over to iPoker we’ll be hosting a Welcome Freeroll poker tournament worth $10,000, on September 17th. This will be open to all depositing players, giving them the opportunity to test out the all new CelebPoker absolutely free. Good luck.”

Richard Goes from PC Sales to Poker Pro at CelebPoker.com

An IT salesman who became a professional poker play after losing his job has won almost £100,000 in just three months and is now heading to one of the world’s most prestigious poker tournaments, courtesy of CelebPoker.com

Until February this year, 40-year-old Richard Hemmington was your average man in the street with a nine-to-five job, a wife and two kids, but now he’s heading to the Seefeld Poker Masters in Austria after overcoming the odds to win a hard-fought selection tournament on CelebPoker.com.

“When I was made redundant from my job, I could have joined my colleagues in the dole queue, but I’d always enjoyed playing poker online and I seemed to have a flair for it, so I thought why not give it a go,” said Richard, who lives in Surbiton, Surrey. “In four months, I’ve managed to exceed my old salary and I’m now getting into the offline tournaments as well.”

Richard has already travelled to the Philippines for the APT Manila tournament and will now join an exclusive group of just six CelebPoker members in Seefeld, having beaten off competition from hundreds of others in the final of the qualifying tournament on May 24. In addition to the €2,250 sponsorship package, he will also have the opportunity to share in a prize pool estimated at over €180,000.

“Poker players come from all walks of life and not everyone would want to turn professional, but Richard has shown just what can be achieved if you put your mind to it,” said David Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of CelebPoker.com. “We’re investing a big sum to send six of our members to Seefeld and it’s great that Richard is one of them. Let’s hope he plays as well there as he did in our online qualifiers.”

“This will be my third major live tournament and I learnt a lot from the first two, so I’m very confident that I can improve on my results and get into the big money,” added Richard. “I’m looking forward to whole experience and hopefully playing poker well enough to reach the final table.”
After playing poker for just five years, Richard’s is a success story that will inspire many other aspiring poker players, from online amateurs to experienced professionals. Richard is just one of thousands of people from all background and social groups who are discovering the thrills and suspense of online poker.

The Seefeld Poker Masters will see him play against big international names such as Eddy Scharf and Sigi Stockinger, less than five months after turning professional.

CelebPoker Returns to Live Poker Circuit

Leading online Poker Room CelebPoker.com has bowed to popular demand and will shortly relaunch its acclaimed series of live off-the-wall poker tournaments across the UK and Europe.

After taking a few years off to concentrate on their popular online poker business, CelebPoker is returning to it roots – Live Poker Tournaments !

Renowned for their glitz and glamour, in the early noughties, CelebPoker’s live events were a hazy mix of skill, fun and wild after-show parties that were hugely popular and attracted celebrities from all walks of life. Including the likes of Teddy Sheringham, Victoria Silvstedt, Nick Leeson and Brian McFadden to name but a few.

CelebPoker are convinced that the nation’s obsession with celebrity culture will mean the new poker series will be bigger and better than ever. “I’ve lost count of the number of people who have asked us to bring back CelebPoker’s live poker tournaments,” said David Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of CelebPoker.com. “The game’s become too serious. We want to bring back the fun into the live arena. Imagine this: one minute you’re playing against your mates in the pub, the next minute you’re sat next to rogue trader Nick Leeson trying to work out if he’s bluffing. Now that’s what I call poker!”

Negotiations are taking place with some of Europe’s leading casinos and venues, with a schedule set to be announced over coming months. Players can certainly expect to be entertained as they experience the celebrity lifestyle alongside big names from the world of sport, film, music, business. And of course, poker!

Players can expect all the strong competition and quality for which CelebPoker.com is renowned, with the chance of winning big money cash prizes. Initial event planning is being directed by the company’s own team to ensure that the carefully selected venues exceed the required standards.
“We don’t do things by halves, so when we announce the schedule, it will feature a series of tournaments that poker players want to be part of,” added David. “We believe you can have a great time playing poker without taking life so seriously. And we’re looking to put a smile on the faces of our players; apart from when they need to be poker-faced of course.”
