Weeks of anticipation have left players, fans and poker experts wondering whether the rumours and buzz surrounding PokerRoom.com were true and whether the original real money online game was going to make a comeback as one of the top online poker websites.
Twitter was the first to hold news of the changes that were said to be coming to PokerRoom.com in the New Year. From the account of SEO manager for bwin games came a tweet that revealed PokerRoom.com was coming back to offer players real money online poker games, after a two year break from the world of online poker when the site began to suffer financial problems. The news was met with the expected questions, anticipation and excitement as PokerRoom.com was one of the first websites to offer players the chance to take part in cash poker games online, and had a history of a high-end playing experience. However, when the questions began to fly, the tweet was recanted and the operators of PokerRoom.com have not made any statements since this point.
Source stated that the website operators would be open to reopening the website in the future, but it was not confirmed whether there were any plans to do so. To create even more excitement, there were changes present on the website that included the changing of banners to state the PokerRoom.com was going ‘back to the future’ and the website changed to being under construction and undergoing maintenance.
Now, weeks later the changes that have been made to the PokerRoom.com website are revealed to players, fans and poker forums. Players are able to log on and create an account as part of the online forums, trading tips and tricks with other players and getting first dibs on the updates from PokerRoom.com.
There has been no statement made to whether the tweet was a mistake and whether the real money games are going to be offered online in the future to players throughout the globe. The only indication of news is the website changes, and a banner prompting players to sign up through PokerRoom.com to be the first to know about the changes and innovations that are being made in the future.
