The online poker gambling community and industry is still growing rapidly all over the world, despite the down turn in the economy. The poker industry works hard to spread the word about the skill-based nature of the game, compared to regular online casino games. In the beginning, Poker was a game dominated by men, but now it is expanding its reach to a larger demographic group, including the women. In fact, Poker Stars has announced the launch of a new Ladies Club on the site that is specifically designed to acknowledge this growing demographic as well as encourage continued growth.The new promotion is linked up with the European Poker Tour and the Grand Final in Monte Carlo where the best and most skilled female player will compete in a highly competitive Ladies Championship event for a whopping €1,100 buy in.This new promotion is an extension of the Poker Stars Luxury Ladies Poker Club, which is already a huge success. This new club at the online casino poker site plans to regularly feature major events that are just for the Poker Stars ladies. For a chance at the Championship, Poker Club members are able to enter regular satellite tourneys as well. Besides all the great offers and tournament there is also a lot of socializing with the other female players. The PokerStars Ladies Club is really a new and great way for the online poker room to recognize and encourage growth among the female players as the online poker finds an increasingly wide demographic all over the world. All of the information for the new promotions and for joining the club is outlined on the Poker Stars website and there is even special apparel and merchandize for ladies interested in spreading the game in the offline environment.
