Just got an email with a new poker room ...
I took a look and i noticed it is a room that have the same tournaments than few other one ,,
I m wondering why they open new rooms with the same tournaments :smile:
The new room is called Reefer Poker and is like the same as Poker.com and few other ones...

They have mainly the same tournaments because they're on the same network. Same with iPoker or Ongame, which have about a gazillion different "skins" sharing the same tournaments. Most rooms will also have their own tournaments as well, though.

As for "why" - because there's money to be made from poker. And if you start a new poker site, it's much easier to join a network with an existing player base (so that new members have some people to play against), than to start a new one with no players...
