POKERSTARS SAVES THE DAY FOR FLEET STREET GAMERS
(Update)
20 February 2009
Failed poker subscription site's members have a
new home
PokerStars.com, the world's largest online poker site,
has come to the rescue of thousands of poker players
following the shutdown recently of the poker
subscription site Fleet Street Games.com (see previous
InfoPowa report). Fleet Street was just one of several
such sites which have failed in the currently tough
economic times.
Launched in February 2008, Fleet
Street Games.com offered global subscribers the chance
to enter numerous poker tournaments each month for a
fixed monthly fee. Unfortunately, the economic downturn
left FSG unable to raise its needed second round of
funding, and within a few months of the launch of
real-money operations the site was forced to close.
PokerStars.com and FSG have since forged a deal
which sees PokerStars.com taking on all FSG player
balances thus ensuring that no FSG players are left out
of pocket. FSG players are being invited to transfer
their balances to PokerStars, which will also be hosting
a series of freeroll tournaments for FSG players to
welcome them to the PokerStars community.
Dan
Goldman, President and CEO of Fleet Street Games, LLC
and himself a former member of the PokerStars marketing
team, said: "Many FSG players will, I am sure, already
be familiar with PokerStars. It is, as I know from long
personal experience, the best all-round online poker
site in the world and although we are obviously
extremely disappointed that we couldn't make a go of FSG
in the present economic climate, we are thrilled that we
have been able to secure such a great new home for our
players."
