Poker on Facebook

Despite complicated laws and many competing games, online poker is flourishing. A whole new crowd is being introduced to the joys of the game via the astonishing success of Facebook poker.

Facebook is a social networking community where users add their profile, keep in touch with friends and make new ones. Events are advertised, groups are formed according to ideology, hobbies or random ideas, you can take quizzes, promote a good cause and post photos and videos.

Now you can also play Texas Holdfem on Facebook, unfortunately not for money, although this is something we can expect to see in the future.

Facebook poker is now regularly played by over 100,000 users on the site, competing against friends and vying to get the most points.

New players get 200 chips to start, and 500 more if you recommend a friend. And in the world of Facebook, news travels fast. You invite your friends to play, who invite their friends, and before long, itfs easy enough to get thousands of people on board.

Adding poker on Facebook was a genius idea, sure to be followed by other games, and it canft be long before Facebook poker launches its own world championship.
