The community portal Facebook, one of the Internet’s most popular social networks, has recently become a vast multiplayer site offering its members the chance to play poker and Scrabble under its “Games” and “Chat” categories.

Access to tables is free and the chips resemble tokens! Initially restricted to American members, access is now open to anyone. Prizes are awarded for winners of the most points in the final.

The number of players has literally exploded! It’s easy for anyone to invite their friends to play. Ujogo, the hosting platform for the game, also plans to organise a $100 freeroll to promote the game on the website.

The online gaming industry is already examining the possibility of offering its own services to members of Facebook. Facebook has 57 million members worldwide, 16 million of whom are in Europe. Every day more than 500,000 members play poker on Facebook, representing an enormous potential market! However, it’s far from certain that all of these players would be prepared to play for money.
