[June 05, 2008] PurePlay Ranked Top U.S.-Compliant Poker Site Tweet (Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 5 / MARKET WIRE/ -- PurePlay, the largest U.S.-compliant play-for-cash online poker destination, today announced it is logging nearly 3 million visits a month, extending its position as the most trafficked U.S.-based play-for-cash online poker site. Beyond its industry-leading traffic volume, PurePlay also continues to outpace its competitors by awarding over $150,000 every month, for a total outlay of over $3.5 million to date. "We are the undisputed leader of legal online poker -- thanks to the rapid adoption of our innovative no-risk approach to poker and because we pay out far more cash than any other U.S.-based poker site. The millions of players coming to our site every month validate this," said PurePlay CEO Jason Kellerman. "It's clear why PurePlay is the #1 destination: players can win serious cash without risking any of their own money." Kellerman added that PurePlay's popularity has grown with its recently launched monthly World Series of Poker*-qualifying tournaments, in which players have a risk-free opportunity to win a seat at the upcoming Main Event in Las Vegas. "No other U.S.-compliant play-for-cash poker site will be sending more contenders to the 2008 World Series of Poker* Main Event than we are," he said. PurePlay now over 50 times larger than nearest competitor Recent web traffic metrics gathered by Quantcast, an independent Internet traffic ratings service, confirm PurePlay's industry leadership.
