New tournaments and satellite events to compete in the worlds biggest poker games are hosted daily online. There is always a game in the limit and size of your choice and the support to make your poker play at CelebPoker.com.com top notch!

GPWA - Can you give us a quick introduction about yourself and how you are involved in online poker as an affiliate manager?

My name is Greg and I am your contact for CelebPoker.com.com and hopefully your new best friend as you will be receiving some nice commission checks for your hard work and nice traffic. Just kidding (maybe), I am 25 and have been working with online affiliates for 4 years now. I was involved in building gaming “portals” in the past and have recently devoted my time and efforts to building what I consider the most “interactive” and supportive affiliate program out there today with www.CelebPoker.comAffiliate.com

GPWA - How long have you been with CelebPoker.com?

I have been working with CelebPoker.com for the past year. As of the past 5 months I have shifted to the "backend" and am working more closely with the affiliates and marketing the site in general.

GPWA - What exactly is your roll at CelebPoker.com?

My role is to be a concierge of sorts. Meaning this, when something comes up from a player or an affiliate it's priority one to help that person and ensure their time spent at the tables or promoting is handled professionally and up to their standard of satisfaction.

GPWA - One of the big pulls of CelebPoker.com is the chance to play with a celebrity. Who would you say is your biggest pulling star at the moment and how likely are people to play with them?

Well last week everyone on the site seemed to enjoy playing with supermodel/actress Traci Bingham. It was pretty nice to chat with someone so beautiful yet so down to earth as well. Actor Lou Diamond Phillips is often playing the tables as well as Australian music sensation Delta Goodrem and former Westlife front man Brian McFadden.

GPWA - Have you played against any of the stars at your site personally?

I have played with Celebrities on the site and in person as well. When we did the World Music Awards this summer I personally got the chance to toss the chips with some of LA's biggest players. Then we turned back around in November and played some hands with some top celebs and performers at the American Music Awards show as well. Check out the website for some nice pictures.

GPWA - Working with poker do you ever get tired of the game?

I think if anyone answered no they never get tired of poker then something's wrong. So the answer is yes, about once a month.

GPWA - What is your favorite game to play?

I like playing the $30 Heads Up games online.

GPWA - What would you say is your most popular game at CelebPoker.com?

I would say the $1/2 No Limit Games are the absolute most popular at the moment.

GPWA - Have you seen any significant changes in the levels of games people play since opening?

Everyone knows CelebPoker.com is the "loosest" room online due to the huge number of international players and the "gambling" mindset they take into the tables.

GPWA - What plans does CelebPoker.com have for the future?

The future is on now. In the past couple weeks have changed the website to be more user friendly and added some nice features like a tournament tracker, a player forum and some more event qualifiers. All these are great selling points for affiliates!

GPWA - Ever thought about having a live CelebPoker.com event where players to get to play against their favorite stars?

We have them all the time in Europe. It's hard in the US because of the gaming laws. You can get your hands on the action on DVD at our online store as well – www.CelebPokerShop.com

GPWA - I noticed that you guys have online poker schools to teach people the basics, how has that gone and any thoughts of extending that to teaching advanced skills?

We have the basics of the game as well as weekly tips and articles.

GPWA - Any last remakes you would like to make about CelebPoker.com?

CelebPoker.com.com is a site where it's fun to play poker again. There is a deposit bonus that makes it an easy choice to join and then I am going to let the style and support of the site speak for itself.

GPWA - Finally, if you had to pick a poker pro to defend you in court, who would it be and why?

To defend me in court? This is a funny question and I am going with the obvious. I will pick Greg Raymer since he used to be an attorney.
