PKR up to two million users

By Arthur Crowson

Popular online poker room PKR.com is in the midst of an impressive upswing, according to some recent numbers released by an online traffic monitor.

PKR, which is one of the only sites to uses a 3-D gaming client, reached a milestone when it signed up its two millionth user today. Perhaps most impressive is the fact PKR hit two million users less than a year after getting one million users.

"Only a handful of poker brands have ever reached this milestone and none have done it so quickly without taking U.S. players," said PKR Marketing Director Simon Prodger. "We are delighted with our progress and look forward to making our third year even better."

According to PokerScout.com, the next-gen poker site is the fastest-growing online room that does not, at this time, accept U.S. players, and the second fastest-growing site overall.

PKR is one of the newest poker sites and offers a plethora of unique features such as a special emote control function and infinitely customizable characters.

The site has been featured prominently in various popular magazines and recently launched PKR TV, which is an hour-long TV show that reaches over 15 million people across Europe. PKR also publishes Stacked, their consumer magazine, and now offers a Club PKR loyalty program.
