Anyone familiar with the internet has most likely
heard about the online community known as MySpace.com. If not, it is one
of the largest and most used networks of personal web pages on the MySpace
servers, that lets people chat live, send messages, post blogs, and even play
personal videos and music files. Each person's page is completely
customizable, and is a great way for people to meet others with similar
interests.
That being said, the announcement by
MSPokerChallenge.com to hold the MySpace Poker Challenge sounds like it could be
a large event. With a targeted audience of over eighty million people, and
as popular a game as online poker has become, the tournament could end up being
a reoccurring success. Although Poker Affiliate World Inc. (who owns
MSPokerChallenge.com) has no affiliation with MySpace.com, it is evident that
many members of MSPokerChallenge also are MySpace members.
By catering to the MySpace members who also happen
to play poker - or would like to begin doing so - current members of both sites
could potentially drive traffic to MSPokerChallenge.com. To help make this
happen, MSPokerChallenge is giving away free entries into the online poker
tournament to those members who refer fifty new MySpace players to the website,
or for those who win freeroll events.
The buy-in for the online poker tournament is $30
with a $3 fee. Scheduled to take place July 29, 2006, MSPokerChallenge.com
will be holding many online satellite tournaments that will give players the
opportunity to enter the poker tournament for free and possibly become the first
ever online poker champion of MySpace.
