There is an out of the ordinary target market for the newly launched Reefer Poker.com. This becomes more apparent when you view their site and see it covered with marijuana plants, several expletives and a discussion of the bong culture.

Gian Perroni, who head up the web site's affiliate program, says that that the owners of the site have demonstrated that the marijuana culture is a major factor for many poker players. He says they expect affiliates to find a whole new market in which to work.

The Merge network is behind this new site, and Pokerscout.com which reports statistics on online poker traffic places the site in twentieth place, just after Betfair Poker. The site current claims to have 417 cash players, and a 24 hour peak of 696 simultaneous players. The also claim that their 7 day average of players stands at 385s.

The site for Reefer Poker maintains regular player promotions. These include the exclusive 420 Tournaments, as well as a Progressive Tournament Jackpot. They offer a matching bonus of $500 when you sign up and they also have available regular re - deposit bonuses. As a Reefer Poker player you are also eligible to win monthly trips to such exotic locations as Jamaica and Amsterdam.

There is not yet much information available with regard to the Web site's owners who seem to want to stay out of the limelight. It is their contention that Reefer and Poker make a good mix since the people that they associate with and employ are lovers of both marijuana and poker.  According to them people who like pot are a breed apart. They are people who appreciate relaxing and enjoying a game of poker.
The company's owners are hoping to bring about a community of similar - minded people, and the prizes that they are offering include vaporisers, bongs, and money for buying reefer where it is legal. They want to make it clear that they do not encourage the use of illegal drugs by anyone and that they rlze that there actually are still some countries were the use of marijuana by adults is still not allowed. The advise players to follow the laws in the community where they live.
