Purple Lounge Unaffected by Gambling Prohibition Bill

Despite the news that online gambling will almost certainly be banned in the US, online casino and poker room Purple Lounge has announced that it is currently undergoing a 10 per cent weekly growth rate.

Purple Lounge Chairman Chris Gorman announced today that what has happened in America has little or no effect on the Purple Lounge business. �The States accounted for a minimal amount of our business, in fact around 0.1 per cent,� he said.

�Since the beginning of September, we stopped taking sign-ups and bets from US players. We felt there was an air of uncertainty in that market place,� continued Gorman. �The Scandinavian and European markets remain our core business. We�ve recently launched in Spain and see this as an exciting emerging market.�

Purple Lounge�s month-on-month trading results have shown growth over 350% in the second quarter of this year.

Since the launch of Purple Lounge in November 2005, it has acquired thirty thousand registered players and it recently added one more, in the shape of internationally renowned model Aylar who is the site�s new spokesmodel.
