Online poker 'can be a second home'

For many online poker players, the virtual world of the internet-based game is a home from home, it has been claimed.

Michael Golembo of online gaming community RedKings explains that a little competitive spirit is not always a negative thing.

"For many serious online poker players their online poker community is a second home," he says.

"A little rivalry between forums really builds community."

RedKings is now sponsoring a number of prizes for the Global Gaming Events two-day event scheduled for February 16th and 17th.

But with "bragging rights" also up for grabs, the money might not seem so important to any players competing for the prestige alone.

New Cyberslotz members are also given the chance to chat to a helper online should they encounter any problems accessing their account.

Along with email and telephone support, the online casino offers a 24-hour instant messaging service to deal with any problems the new member might discover.
