Springbok Poker - South Africa Online Poker

Social Networking sites like Facebook have taken the internet and world by storm in recent times. More and more people are signing up the sites where they keep in touch with friends, make new ones, and find out how old class mates are getting on. The poker industry is continuing to leave no stone unturned and has now spread to these social networking sites. Facebook has been the latest site to join the poker community by introducing its free-playing room Ujogo. Indeed it has quickly become the third most popular application on facebook. Keeping within the rules of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act brought in by the USA which states that no financial institution can handle transactions between US residents and real money online poker sites, Ujogo offers each player 1000 chips to begin with, which through play or even signing up additional members is a 'bank roll' that can be increased. Points are then converted into prizes. 

These play-money poker applications are introducing many people to the world of poker who would previously not have been involved. They are a valuable part of the international poker community as eventually a taste for the game will undoubtedly lead to real money sign ups at a poker room. The poker base is therefore being widened yet again and ensuring a whole new generation of players are coming through. There still continues to be no sign of poker slowing down throughout the world!
