The Online Poker Site Has Expanded to Include Russian and Chinese

    LONDON, Nov. 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- BowmansPoker.com
( http://www.bowmanspoker.com ) is poised to take the East
by storm, as it launches its sexy online poker brand in
both Russian and Chinese. 

    In anticipation of significant future growth and
marketing efforts in Eastern Europe and Asia,
BowmansPoker.com has expanded its site to include both
Russian and Chinese-language versions. This exciting
development means that players in two of the world's
largest potential markets for online gaming can now enjoy
all the fast-paced action at BowmansPoker.com in their own
language.

    Customers from these markets will now also be able to
make instant payment transfers at BowmansPoker.com via its
new partner, WebMoney -- a global transfer system which has
been providing secure, instant payment transfers since 1998.
With nearly 2.5 million registered users across 37
countries, WebMoney is the perfect payment provider for
BowmanPoker.com's new local language sites: not only is it
already popular in China, but the system also offers
WebMoney units for currencies including Russian Roubles and
Ukrainian Hryvnias. 

    The introduction of a Chinese version of
BowmansPoker.com is sure to be welcomed by its already
sizable Chinese customer base. "By launching a local
language site we're giving existing players more value,
while also encouraging new players from Chinese-speaking
markets across Asia," said Ben Lukas, Head of Poker of
BowmansPoker.com.

    Making the Bowmans Poker room more accessible and
attractive to Russian-speaking customers was another
natural progression for Bowmans, following hot on the heels
of the formation of a Poker Players Association in Ukraine
and the successful launch of a bricks-and-mortar Bowmans
Pokerclub in Lviv, Western Ukraine. 

    Boasting full online facilities and a growing
membership, the Lviv Pokerclub promises to be an important
foothold for BowmansPoker.com as it continues its strategic
expansion into the fast-growing Eastern European and Chinese
markets.
