Now that we have grown to a significant website, in less than a year (as our first franchise, the German version launched in June of 2008), it’s time to officially introduce all the people involved with Max Poker Bonus.
Maybe you haven’t noticed, but Max Poker Bonus is a lot more than just the site you’re looking at. We have franchises (sites that carry our name) in several languages, respectively German, English, Dutch – and soon also even French and Spanish.
There are a few people involved in getting these sites up and running – and even more important, keeping them up-to-date. Here below you can read some information about them and their responsibilities.
Kurt is the creative genius behind the Max Poker Brands. His excellent designing skills melt perfectly together with the special features on our sites. Yours truly, Giorgio, is the one responsible for all the development – from caching XML files to comprehensive server scripts.
When it comes to poker, we have Markus on our team, a.k.a. Max, who is the writer of all the strategy related content on Max Poker Bonus. He is a semi-professional poker player who competes both online and in live tournaments and offers us his insights and expertise as a player.
Of course all sites must have their own manager. Personally, I manage the Dutch site and all that comes around. Kurt’s job is to take care of the German site and both of us together make sure that our site for the United Kingdom stays in good shape.
Additionally, we’re more than happy to introduce a new member to Team MPB, as of past Friday. His name unfortunately must be kept confident for the time being (due to contract restrictions) but he brings a lot of experience from “the other side of the table” due to his employment as a consultant for several online poker rooms in the past. You can rest assured that all of us – especially you – will benefit from his vast experience and network. He will also be responsible for the French and Spanish Max Poker Bonus sites.
All of us work from our home-based offices, backed-up by our families. Some of us also have daytime jobs. Kurt and Max live in Austria, I live in the Netherlands and our latest team member lives on Gibraltar. As you see, we’re all over the world and very enthusiastic about poker!
We’re extremely excited about what we have managed to build up in such a short period of time. If you knew even a small part of our plans for the future you’d be amazed. Having such a varied audience brings a lot of opportunities. Soon we will introduce our membership section which will give members access to exclusive Max Poker Bonus features. This will also open the doors to special events that will only be available for our members.
Sponsorship
Since this spring we started to officially sponsor a Dutch poker player. Theo will be playing several live tournaments in Dutch casinos and I, Giorgio, will be lucky enough to take part in some of these events myself. If you happen to meet some players with Max Poker Bonus gear, approach them – chances are that it is Theo and me. We will be more than happy to have a chat and invite you to a drink.
The first tournament we will compete in will be the Twente Classics in Holland Casino Enschede. We will both participate in the €300+30 NL HE freezeout tournament on Sunday May 17. You can expect a full recap to be written in this blog afterwards. We are looking forward to meeting you!
