Purple Lounge poker launches seventh language

London - 29 November, 2006

 

Due to the rapid geographical expansion of the online poker market, Purple Lounge, the world's most exclusive online poker room and casino, has now launched it's website in seven languages. Purple Lounge has taken these steps to ensure it caters to the increasingly wide range of countries its poker players originate from.

 

In order to meet the increasing demands of poker players worldwide, Purple Lounge software is now available for download in French, Spanish, Italian and English as well as the website being available to view in all four languages. Alongside this, the site is also available to view in Japanese, Chinese, and Turkish. Now poker players have the opportunity to play poker online in the comfort of their respective language.

 

Chris Gorman , Chairman of Purple Lounge felt the changes were necessary. He says “Our players come from all over world and we want our site to reflect their needs. Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world so it made sense we should offer it as a language option in the software. We're offering Italian as the market for Italian players is about to undergo some interesting changes. With the legalisation of online gambling in Italy imminent, it seemed a natural step for us to make Italian available. And with the French language being widely spoken, not just in Europe , the addition of French software completes our offering, for the moment.”

 

Chris Gorman , believes the changes can only benefit Purple Lounge players. He adds “In addition to providing the software in three new languages, the Chinese, Japanese and Turkish websites are our first steps towards offering our Eastern players the same depth of content and ease of play as their Western counterparts.”

 

Purple Lounge has been successfully adapting to meet its players needs since its launch in 2005. As well as big money prizes, Purple Lounge has brought it's players access to the world's top members club; Quintessentially, money can't buy luxury bonus prizes and out of this world experiences. It's an absolute certainty that non-English speaking players will be grateful of the chance to get involved and stake their claim on what Purple Lounge has to offer.

Purple Lounge comes up trumps again

London - 04 August, 2006

In typical Purple Lounge style, the premier site for the discerning poker player has once again come up with a desirable and exclusive promotion for all Purple Lounge players. As Purple Lounge strives to bring the very finest in life to its visitors, this is no exception.

 

The Ryder Cup is golf's greatest match play contest and every new player at Purple Lounge has the chance to watch the world's foremost international team golfing event at the K Club Straffan, Ireland , courtesy of Purple Lounge.

 

Two lucky winners and their partners will see golf played by la creme de la creme of the golfing world, on one of the most stunning courses in Ireland . You could be standing alongside Henrik Stenson, David Howell and Tiger Woods as well as other golfing greats on the majestic 18-hole Palmer course.

 

It's simple to qualify - the first two players to have reached 20,000 raked hands between July 11th and August 31st will be rewarded with 2 tickets each to the 36th Ryder Cup. This will include flights and a 1 day pass to the event. The Ryder Cup is one of the most highly-respected team golfing competitions as well as being one of the last great sporting events founded on prestige rather than prize money.  As the competition returns to Europe, the question on everyone's lips is ‘Will Tiger roar at the K club or will the USA go home again with their tails between their legs?'

 

Whilst the result of the tournament is always unpredictable, whatever the outcome, two Purple Lounge players will get to enjoy the experience of a lifetime at one of the most highly contested golfing events in the world - surely a reason to get online and get playing!
