Poker Tech: Social Networking Site for Poker Players

Date: May 28, 2008

APCW Interactive just recently made public the first social networking site, similar to MySpace, devoted strictly to online gaming, Poker players, casino operators and gaming site webmasters.

Upon checking out the site, you will notice that it has everything you would expect from a social networking site. Poker and online gaming enthusiasts are given their own page where they can customize the look and feel they want by adding a profile, some pictures, video, blog, feeds and the like.

Also, it goes without saying that just like MySpace and Facebook Poker and online gaming enthusiasts can interact with other members of the site and meet new friends.

Additionally, public forums are in place where enthusiasts can discuss the latest industry announcements and news. Poker players and gaming enthusiasts can also search the online database for not only posts but articles, news stories, podcasts and videos such as Weekly Perspectives produced by the site’s webmaster.

As of today, a total of 927 players joined the site and a total of 63 topics with not less than 15 replies for each topic were posted.

There are only a handful of organizations that examine online gaming sites for integrity, and only the APCW looks at affiliate programs as well. Reportedly, they are always checking and tracking a variety of criteria including software downloads & installations, deposits and withdrawal methods, interactive game play, customer service responsiveness, bonus awards, and overall site ergonomics. Additionally, they are also said to be tracking affiliate programs to make certain they keep accurate track of webmaster traffic, conversions, and revenue.

When it comes to their advocacy, APCW said that they are not just a community of people who play and work in the online gaming industry. Their members area is a social network that allows complete interaction between all members: Players can contact and message casino programs. Webmasters can leave comments and questions for affiliate managers. There is nothing restricting the free flow of communication and information. And if there are problems, they said that they are to help with mediation and advocacy when needed. In the past, they said that they had resolved complex issues that resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in the pockets of players and webmasters.
