PurePlay, one of the largest subscription-based United States poker sites, saw record growth in 2008, it said in a statement released on Tuesday.
According to the San Francisco-based operator, its player base has doubled in the past year. Currently the company says it has 1.7 million players.
“Our membership base remains unmatched among legal U.S. play-for-cash poker sites,” Jason Kellerman, PurePlay’s chief executive, said in a prepared statement. “Our growth in 2008 validates our business model.”
