Free Poker
London, United Kingdom - In the world of online poker the phrase free poker is very heavily used. However "free" is rarely the reality with most so called free games loaded with conditions that require players to part with money at some point. Now UK based online poker site http://www.nopaypoker.com have changed the way poker business is conducted online and are offering poker players globally a truly free poker gaming experience where they can win real money without risking any financial loss.
The standard poker business model, as anyone who has played poker online or in a brick-and-mortar casino knows is not free. Despite the abundance of freerolls there aren’t really any truly free poker games.
The majority of free games are either practice play money accounts or freerolls that utilize sign up bonus "free" money. To actually cash up any money a player normally has to unlock it by spending real money at a real cash table that can be "raked". Simply this is how poker rooms make money on and offline. Truly free poker games with real money winnings cannot exist by definition in such a business model.
Now online poker site NoPayPOKER.com is changing the nature of the game. They have developed a poker game model where the poker games are free in every sense. Players play free poker, win real money and are at no risk of losing their own money.
Initially two business models were considered; Ad-based or subscription-
subscription based sites go some way toward free but only on a game-by-game basis. A player still needs to pay a fee in order to play. NoPayPOKER.com Managing Director Michael Tanaka comments "we realized that despite certain benefits the subscription model wasn't appropriate. We'd set out to develop a truly free poker model and by going down the subscription route we would not be able to say hand on heart that our poker was free".
In contrast it became apparent that the Ad based model could offer players a truly free experience in terms of game play, winnings and zero risk of loss. The only cost is that of having to tolerate strategically placed ad banners and promotions from the sites advertisers. The ads pay the site costs and player prizes and so make it possible for the poker to be truly free.
NoPayPOKER.com has now deployed this model in a particularly imaginative way. Players play genuine free poker games that pay out the site token currency, FreeD. Once a player has accrued more than $30 US Dollars worth of FreeD chips they can exchange them for real US Dollars.
The other main benefit of the NoPayPOKER.com free poker model is that it is USA legal. As depositing is not an option real money does not go into the site and is not played with. This makes the site legal for poker players from the USA as all they do is play for chips. So those players frozen out of the big paid sites due to the changes in the legal landscape can now play poker online again.
