PlayPing.com Finally Reunites Recently Abandoned US Poker Players

Vienna, Austria, November 20, 2006 — Playping, a social network for the gaming community, was created specifically with the US poker player in mind last month. Every member of the network has various means of communication with other members at his disposal and receives additional member benefits like blogs, picture sharing, personal profile webspace or free classified ads.

Registered US poker players are also given extensive information about how to continue their favourite game online.

"A few months ago we realized the need for a gambling community setup that goes beyond the sole functionality of an ordinary forum. When President Bush signed the new law, which does not prohibit online gambling, on October 13th, we understood that the right time had come.", says Heinz Michael, Founder of PlayPing.com.

"We want to be the virtual place where US poker players mingle, chat, exchange information or individually express themselves to the fullest in these times of crisis."

As a result of the act, some foreign gambling companies closed the accounts of their US customers, most of them poker players, thus leaving them in the unknown.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 prohibits monetary transactions between financial institutions in the United States and foreign online gambling operators.

PlayPing.com is a social network for the gambling community providing poker and casino players, sports bettors, bingo lovers and those interested in similar games with a platform of mutual communication by utilizing a variety of tools. There is no cost to join the network.
