WorldWinner.com Launches Online Gaming Site that Rewards Skilled Players with Cash Prizes17 August 2000NEWTON, Massachusets--(Press Release)--August 17, 2000--For the millions of people who enjoy playing games requiring speed, precision, logic, skill and dexterity - rather than luck - here is your chance to put your money where your mouse is! Launching today, WorldWinner.com is the first gaming site that allows participants to compete in tournaments against people across the country for instant cash prizes. The tournaments involve anywhere from five to thousands of players, and prizes range from $5 to $10,000. According to Jupiter Media Metrix, there are currently more than 13 million people playing games online. The company predicts that this figure will more than double to 27 million by 2003. With its wide variety of classic games, instant cash prizes, and structured tournaments that reward players based on their performance, WorldWinner.com is well-positioned to quickly capture the mindshare of this growing audience. WorldWinner.com currently offers a broad selection of games, including Solitaire Rush, Maze Runner, Pencil Wars, Jigsaw Genius and Crossword Challenge, with new games and puzzles added each month. All of WorldWinner.com's games are available to play for free in ``Training Tournaments.'' Participants wishing to compete in tournaments against other players for cash prizes will be required to deposit money via credit card into a secure, online account and pay a small entry fee for each tournament entered. Tournament entry fees range from 50 cents to $30, and are deducted each time the player enters a competition. The prize awarded to each tournament's 'champion' depends on the tournament type and the number of participants. When a prize is won, the money is automatically credited to the winner's account. Players can cash-out all or part of their winnings at any time, or leave it in their account and use it to pay for future tournaments. Later this year, WorldWinner.com will add a number of interactive features to help organize its users into a thriving community, including player-to-player chat, player global rankings info pages, and the ``WorldWinner Hall of Fame,'' a special area of the site recognizing the top scoring competitors in each game. |
