Reefer Poker.com, a recently launched site, is targeting an unusual audience. A visit to their website reveals marijuana plants feature prominently as part of their logo. There is also the occasional expletive and comments on the bong culture.

Gian Perroni, head of Reefers affiliate program, says about the owners: “They have shown us that marijuana culture runs deep with many poker players. We expect affiliates to find a whole new crowd to convert.” The new site is powered by the Merge network, which according to the latest online poker traffic stats on Pokerscout.com is 20th on the list, just below Betfair Poker.
They boast 417 cash players, a 24 hour peak of 696 concurrent players and a 7 day average of 385 players. Reefer Poker runs regular player promotions, including exclusive 420 Tournaments and a Progressive Tournament Jackpot. The SUB is a matchplay maxed at $500 and there are regular re-up deposit bonuses. Reefer Poker players are also eligible to win monthly trips to Jamaica, Amsterdam, and other exotic locations.
Reefer is hoping to create a community of like-minded people, and they are offering free prizes like vaporizers, bongs, and reefer cash - where legal. “Reefer Poker does not condone or encourage illegal drug use by any person. We understand that in some uninformed countries the use of marijuana by adults is unfortunately still considered to be illegal. Please follow the laws in your jurisdiction,” the website cautions!

The site owners claim that Reefer and Poker go together because: “Our creators love both playing poker and the marijuana culture.  Pot enthusiasts are a different breed.  We are relaxed, we analyze and we like to have fun.”  The owners of the website remain shadowy figures with little information available.
