Congratulations to the first Poker Underworld challenger to reach $1,000,000! We’re playing for points but it’s great to see, and it gives me a chance to talk about how we’ve grown up over the past month or so since we launched.

It’s been over 2 weeks since my last update because things have been very busy. We’ve grown very quickly in the last month and are now over 1,000 members. It’s nice to see that we’ve consistently got players at the tables. This is good news because it means we can start adding in some features that will make the game more competitive and more fun - features that aren’t really possible without enough players to make them fun.

I’ve talked a lot about head-to-head games and those will be coming soon. We’ll also be adding sit’n'go tourneys soon and we’ve been working hard to make sure we can give away some prizes. These special tournaments should be starting up within the next few weeks and will add a lot of excitement to the games that I think is lacking right now.

Having a player at $1,000,000 points is great because it shows that you’re enjoying the games, but to me it also shows how there isn’t enough challenge on the site right now. I’d like to split the tables into “trainer tables” and “competition tables” and have the points only count on the competition tables. If anybody has any feedback they want to give about how to make the games more fun, please email us - I’d love to read about your ideas. I’d also like to add a forum soon so you’ll all be able to post about features there.

Congratulations to all of the leaders, and good luck to our new players!
