WOW i'm shocked that something like this is being made available.
This will be excellent if it's going to be permanently accessible at no cost!

They're promoting the fact that its Free at the moment.... However I think it will remain free as part of the buy-in fee for created tournaments goes to Pokerstars.

Nice, it also has Facebook and Twitter features!

Have you ever play for real money online before?

Example

To join a tournament might cost £10+£1. £10 goes into into the prize pool and £1 goes to Pokerstars.

yea i know that..
but my point is, you can create play money home games only, right? (so obviously PS get nothing from those)

You can have real or play money events.

There is NO Real Cash fee for play money events!

BIGWAYNE IS THAT YOU?

seriously you're trying to give the hard sell as much as he used to even when everyone was getting annoyed by his fanboyism

Who the hell is Big Wayne lol

Now see here..... this is not some attempt at "sophisticated trolling". All I've done is post details of a recent update.

I thought this level of paranoia was only found within the motoring section lol.

This is utter madness......... Ridiculous even!

I've noticed a few more have joined the club. No idea who some of you are though... :|

Can I have confirmation of who has joined?

Or... we could stick with Pokeridol who have kindly hosted free tournaments for us. And my bet is that it won't have play money feature for long, and will then be breaking forums rules regarding gambling (no buy-in events allowed iirc).

Not here to bet on whether or not Play money games will remain (All I know is that play money games are present and I've played with a couple of members already). I'm content with what pokeridol has to offer.

All I want to know is who signed up as they never provided me with their forum usernames.
