TilaPoker.com Launching

Filed in archive Internet Poker on August 3, 2007

MySpace invades the cards space on the internet as Tila Tequila decides to join the online poker world with her site TilaPoker.com. In the aftermath of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, this is an extremely rare event since the law curbed the extreme growth of internet poker in the US. Many sites have consolidated to the larger ones, such as Full Contact Poker going to PokerStars and Doyle's Room referring its United States players to Full Tilt.

Since the site will be hosted by iPoker, it will most likely not be US friendly as those players will have to settle on being one of 1.9 million friends of the MySpace icon outside of the poker room.

Here's Pokernews.com's Barry Carter with the scoop on TilaPoker.com:

If you are one of the millions upon millions of people that hold a Myspace account then there is a good chance (particularly if you are male) that you are one of the 1.9 million people that has selected the model Tila Tequila to be their friend.

Tequila is considered by many to be the Madonna of Myspace and her unrivalled success story has seen her release singles, adorn the cover of magazines and even host her own world on cyber-spaces Second Life.

Now Tila Tequila looks set to use her Myspace fanbase to conquer the world of online poker. TilaPoker.com is powered by Playtech and is the sister site to Tilacasino.com, which boasts live video dealers for all its house games.

TilaPoker offers a variety of cash games, tournaments and satellites in a range of poker disciplines.
