The Nuts Poker League is the largest pub poker league in the United Kingdom and Europe, and they have finally entered the ranks of the online poker world. Assisted by Inside Gaming, the Nuts Poker League was able to launch its new just this month.
Via the league’s new site, players will be able to participate in a range of exclusive online tournaments. The most anticipated tournament for Nuts members will be the “lock in” tournaments, which have been specially designed to encapsulate the ‘community’ feel that is achieved when playing at land based events at pubs throughout the UK. Not only will these nightly tourneys allow regular Nuts Poker League players to attend the games when they are unable to make it to their local pub, but they will also unify the 19,000 league members already registered.
"The founder and managing Director of the Nuts Poker League, Steve Bellis, is now more satisfied than ever with his decision to reject the Dragon’s Den (BBC) investment offer in 2006, and had this to say regarding the company’s transition to the online poker industry: “I have always believed and understood the value of TNPL and although I can
respect the expertise and contacts each Dragon could bring to the table,
when it came to the crunch, the Dragons wanted too much. We have been
looking to combine the pub poker league with an online offering for a while
- but it was important that we took our time to find the right partner.
Inside Gaming has grasped a true understanding of our business and has the
flexibility to create bespoke tournaments to suit our players and allow us
to continue creating the community environment that we've worked hard to
establish.”
