Thursday 20th April 2006 New Poker Dating Service: Make Love, Not War
If you thought that there was nowhere else for online poker to go now that it’s taken over the world, think again. Party Poker, not content with posting huge profits and player numbers, has teamed up with dating site Lavalife to provide a unique online poker game for singles only. Aimed at utilising what organisers are calling the social aspect of playing online, the hope is that players will not only walk away with massive cash prizes but also a date.
The idea is pretty simple: Over twelve weeks, competeitors can visit lavalifepokerchallenge.com, where they can take part in a massive game of heads-up, with the final twenty players making the grand final scheduled for the final week. Whilst playing, the aim is to get players shooting some breeze and trying to pick each other up. Seeing as this could provide ample distraction from the cards, there will doubtless be plenty of hardcore online players looking to get involved and pick up some easy money. And well they might should they to the final.
On offer is a prize pool of $25,000, a holiday to the Turks and Caicos Islands, plasma TVs, iPods and gift vouchers. Still, whoever wins, there’s still the chance of picking up. The games take place every Thursday at 9.30pm EST.
