Sky Poker, the first multiplatform poker room, has added a social networking area to its website that enables its community of players to stay in touch, share stories and keep up to date.
One of the main features is the launch of Sky Poker’s forums. The forums are split into sections – ‘General Poker’, ‘The Sky Poker TV Channel’ and ‘The Sky Poker UK Tour’ – so players can chat about issues most relevant to them. As part of the social network, players can also create a profile page with their photo, update their friends list and leave messages for other players.
“One of the things we hear most frequently from our players, whether it be on TV, online or at our live events, is that they love the friendly, community feel of Sky Poker,” said Emma Crowe, head of marketing at Sky Poker. “The launch of this new social network, especially the forums, will allow the players to keep in contact more easily, which will only strengthen the community and make it more welcoming to new players, for whom the world of poker forums can be somewhat intimidating.”
Players can enter the Sky Poker social network by clicking on the ‘community’ link on the homepage of www.skypoker.com. From there players can update their profile pages to give information about themselves, how they rate their poker and their best poker moment. The profile page also shows a player’s recent forum posts and blog comments.
Sky Poker will also be running competitions, including a weekly caption contest where Sky Poker goodies can be won for the best caption submitted for the picture of the week.
Your players will love this new addition to the Sky Poker website. You are more than welcome to use any of this content on your websites. We also offer bespoke creative so if you would like any specific banners designed please let us know.
