Online poker gets first webcam-optional siteA Slovakian company, Tom Horn Enterprise, has developed what it says is “the world’s first online poker room with integrated webcams.”

The use of webcams on FacePokerLive.com is not mandatory but Jim Harwey, managing director of Diamond Bay, who is a partner in the site along with the developer and the Czech-based Celebrity Poker Tour, said, “Seeing their rival’s face and the possibility to talk is a crucial element for us to launch a completely new poker room.

“In 2010, the whole industry was waiting for something really new and I am really proud to announce that FacePokerLive.com is a new thing to the player. We would like to attract not just poker players currently bored by the same-game-again but also completely new players who love poker and its live form but who could not find a common online world interesting for them. Our target market is primarily Central Europe.”


The web-based software uses the Adobe Flash platform, and is available for Mac, PC or Linux users.
