PKR.com is preparing its second birthday celebrations on August 17^th, 2008, the innovative poker room has many reasons to commemorate its second anniversary and the extraordinary success the site has experimented in only 24 months of existence.

More than 1.1 million players have joined PKR.com only during the last year, taking to total membership to almost 2 million players. According to a respected gambling monitoring service, PKR.com is currently the fastest growing online poker room that does not allow US players, and the second fastest overall.

"It has been another great year for PKR.com. Our continuing success has meant that we have surpassed our targets even though we set ourselves high standards. We've demonstrated our ability to compete with the best and, looking to the future as always, our aim is to build on our accomplishments and keep moving forwards." said PKR.com Director Simon Prodger.

To commemorate another great year of existence, PKR.com has also launched a series of themed tournaments available for all its players.
