Poker Share re-surfaces on Tain

Following the resolution of its dispute with Game Theory and original network provider Excapsa.  PokerShare has relaunched on the Tain network.  The PokerShare site had been out of action since November 2005 after Excapsa cut off the rights to the poker platform in the US following PokerShare’s success in bringing players, at the expense of network partner UltimateBet.

            PokerShare’s concept is to give players a stake in the company.  This ‘earn while you play’ idea will continue following the relaunch, while the company is also planning a May launch of a casino, CasinoShare.com.

            Only existing real-money players can use the site again, which is currently in beta stage.  Max Wright, poker room manager, said: “We are excited to return the market. We have a great new product which I am sure will be a hit with our old players.  I want to get as much feedback as possible before we open the doors to new players next month.”

            Lucan Toh, chief executive of PokerShare, said: “PokerShare was the first poker site to offer its players the opportunity to share in its success.  We are extremely proud of this and excited about welcoming back our loyal customers on the Tain poker nertwork.  We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Tain.”

              The company said it chose the network due to Tain’s focus on real-money players, and network prominence in Europe.

            Roberto Savio, director of sales and marketing at Tain, said: “This is the start of a long and exciting relationship.  PokerShare is a site that puts the customer first and that fits in with our overall philosophy.  I am looking forward to a healthy future with PokerShare  PR: wait... I: wait... L: wait... LD: wait... I: wait...IP: wait...wait... Rank: wait... Traffic: wait... Price: wait... C: wait...
