InfoPowa has previously reported the affairs of Mark Glusing's LegalPlay
- formerly Poker.com Inc - and has flagged the (then) upcoming launch
of the new Pokerpass.com site. This has now launched, but there is
still no confirmation on the origin of the software, which we suspect
is from a Swiss provider or indications of which European jurisdiction
is licensing this new operation.
The company says it will market PokerPass, a traditional poker card
room directly to European poker players but will not accept deposits
from US or Canadian citizens due to legislative issues. Legal play
expects to generate revenues based on earning a rake from each hand
played.
PokerPass.com, players will be able to participate in a number of
promotions including a progressive bad beat jackpot, daily high hand
bonuses and compete for seats at the World Poker Open and the World
Poker Tour. The online poker card room will feature games like Texas
Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi / Lo, 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card
Stud Hi / Lo in traditional, single and multi table tournament formats.
