The Chips Are Up for Novice Gamblers at Poker.org.uk.

(PRWEB) September 24, 2005 -- Poker has never been more popular, with analysts estimating 1.5 million people play it online in Britain. Meanwhile, cable TV programmes are devoted to top tournaments, the recently floated PartyPoker.com earns reported revenue of $1,000 per minute, and poker champions can bag prizes of up to £2 million. Now, a new website, Poker.org.uk (http://www.poker.org.uk) from UK Offer Media, is showing aspiring pros how to follow the trend, get into game – and, hopefully -- win the money.

Aimed at 18-35 year old gambling novices, Poker.org.uk provides impartial, independent reviews of online poker rooms in the UK, so new players can hone their skills in the best ones. The site also describes how to play the most popular poker games such as "Texas Hold'em," "Omaha," and "Omaha High/Low." Many online poker rooms offer new customers free trials, and Poker.org.uk publishes details of current sign-up bonuses, such as sites offering free chips, as well as listing the most lucrative prize pools.

Poker.org.uk is easy to use. All content is suitable for the poker novice and is written in plain English, with the intention of demystifying the game and making it more accessible.

Kieron Donoghue, managing director of Poker.org.uk, comments: "Poker is tipped to be the next big thing and it’s rapidly gaining share of the online gaming market. As a result, some of the bigger poker sites are earning more revenue than British Airways! In the midst of this poker playing boom, there’s a clear need for a site that points novices in the right direction and shows them what to do and that’s where Poker.org.uk comes in."
