In separate news, World Poker Live, an online poker room based in Costa Rica, will soon release a mobile phone based software. “We\’re very excited to finally be launching and believe we can definitely compete with the big boys such as Party Poker and Poker Room,” stated WPL executive Joshua Jones.
World Poker Live will be offering the lowest rake in the industry at a time when online poker room rakes seem to be growing uncontrollably. “We decided from the get go, that we wanted to create something different. Instead of offering all of these confusing bonuses and rake backs, and spammy affiliate programs, we wanted to simply offer the user a low, low rake to begin with, so more of the money they win stays right in their bankroll where it belongs” commented Jones.
