Pkr.com is an international online poker site. Its defining
feature is that it offers graphics is 3D thus providing a more
realistic environment for its poker players. Earlier this year
Pkr.com evolved the PKR Social concept. The idea was to foster
offline interaction between its members so that they could come
to know the real people behind the online avatars. A number of
PKR Social events have been organized by the online poker site
in the United Kingdom, including Midlands golf day and London
poker weekend. Now Pkr.com has announced its first such event
outside the United Kingdom, PKR Social Düsseldorf.
The online poker site’s ‘fun and friendly community event’ will be held in Düsseldorf in Germany on May 7 and May 8. This will provide an opportunity for the Pkr.com German players to get together in a real environment. The event will begin on Saturday with a fun game that will provide the participants “the exhausting thrills of dodging bullets and hitting runner runners in a totally different field when PKR players go head to head in the paintball arena.” Then after some rest and relaxation and a sumptuous dinner will be an evening of poker. Usually the players compete in an online poker site, this time they will be playing in a brick and mortar world. The prize pool will have lots of Pkr.com merchandise. Drinks will be free all evening. There will be a late breakfast on Sunday morning before the players disperse.
The online poker site Pkr.com will subsidize Social Düsseldorf. The players will only have to pay €45 for the whole package, including the entertainment, poker and accommodation. The bookings have been capped at 45 persons for this thrilling social cum poker event and they are bound to fill up quickly. Anybody wishing to make a reservation can contact the online poker site before April 15.
Pkr.com Marketing & CRM Executive Marc Reiner said, “The German PKR community has steadily grown over the last few years and after the launch of the German speaking PKR forums it’s really time to get more involved with the players on a personal level and put some faces to the nicknames. PKR Social: Düsseldorf will give players the chance to meet, socialise and continue the banter off the felt and we are absolutely looking forward to it!”
