Those competing in the game will be asked to pick a box of their choosing and then compete against the banker in a series of cash deals which will ultimately decide whether they walk away with a large proft … or wish that they had dealt sooner.

Players who are already members of PKR simply need to use their current login and then look out for the Deal or No Deal tab in the main menu. Existing avatars will be used when playing the game meaning that there truly is no reason to wonder how to enter Deal or No Deal on the television.

New players who have not yet registered with the site will need to submit their details at http://www.pkr.com

PKR announce WSOP qualifiers

It’s that time of year again! As thoughts and minds turn to the most prestigious poker tournament in the world, PKR have announced that they will be sending 12 players to Vegas to battle it out in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker.

PKR are offering players a number of different routes to Vegas.

Mega satellite: (Saturday, 14 June)

Buy in will cost you $47.50,and there are at least 20 tickets to the Grand Final on the line worth $625 each – this one is going to be popular!
