Pokerstars is the absolute largest poker site in the world a position they have had for the last couple of years. There is no doubt that Pokerstars is putting lots of money in to the players as well as their marketing and they are accepting players from every corner of the world. Pokerstars is known as one of the best tournament poker software’s there is online and had set the world record for an online tournament in 28th of December of 2008 when 35,000 players sat down and played a tournament at the same time. 8 days ago they destroyed that record.
Pokerstars set up a $1 poker tournament last Sunday the 19th, where they had as a goal to break the record set in December last year and they smashed it. 30,000 more players joined in the game that ended up to be played by 65,000. Players from 155 countries participated in the game that had a guaranteed prize pool of a whopping 130.000 dollars and a first prize of $13.000 that a very happy player nicking “004 license” from South Carolina cashed in after playing hours on end in the world’s largest online tournament to date.
The new world record is a good help on the way to dominate more of the poker market all over the world. Pokerstars has been very much on the edge of online and offline marketing and branding their site. Two of the bigger marketing events Pokerstars regularly invests time and effort in is their pro team that consists of 41 of the world’s best poker players. The other thing Pokerstars is investing time, money and dedication is in the live poker and Pokerstars has launched not only one poker tour with the EPT but they have also launched the Asia Pacific poker tour the APPT and has just started with the Czech-Slovak Poker Tour that is running at the moment.
