Poker Source Online goes Russian

21st December, 2007

The new language option aims to expand the already popular community to include players from across the world.

Russian speakers will be now able to access all the features on the website in their own tongue and keep in touch with other online poker players living in their country.

Sean Jones, head of communications at Poker Source Online, said: "Poker is becoming global.

"We want to acknowledge and welcome all poker players around the world for whom English is not a first language, including more than 147 million native Russian speakers."

He added that the poker community had "grown non-stop" since it was first founded three years ago and now welcomes 145,000 members.

Features on the site which can be enjoyed by poker players include monthly freerolls and poker leagues, while it also organises special rakeback deals with the major poker sites.
