Confirmation has been received from one of the largest names in the online gambling world that a final agreement has been made to transfer owner and operatorship rights to Poker Stars for three more internet poker domain names. The sites, listed as Poker Pages.com, Play Winning Poker.com and Poker Babes.com will soon come under the direction of Poker Stars, one of the most powerful and popular poker network brands in the world.

The sites are not online casinos, but rather information portals, a vital part to link markets within the internet gambling industry. The three sites will be loaded and congealed to meet with the company’s existing resource center, the Poker Stars’ Blog, which focuses exclusively on the game. Players often tune in to information portal such as the blog to keep updated on the latest news, especially as it applies to changes in laws and legislation for online poker all over the world.

Though Poker Stars confirmed the acquisition of the three sites, they did not release to the press any details about the amount of money spent on the purchase. Poker Pages.com has been up since its launch in 2000, and brings to the network a unique perspective on strategy, hosting one of the most comprehensive library on poker strategy available. They also offer poker book reviews, a directory of the internet’s most popular casino sites as well as a historical review of the game including the tournament results database for the last five years.

Play Winning Poker.com was one of the first sites to host a complete book on strategy, titled ‘Winner’s Guide to Online Poker,’ and authored by Steve Badger. Players interested in Texas Hold'em, Omaha, tournament considerations, blinds play, poker psychology, and bankroll management will find all they need on the information site, also launched in 2000. Poker Babes is three years younger, and focuses on the social element of the game, offering profiles and photos of the community’s most well-known players.
