Poker Central Launches PokerGO, the Ultimate Live Poker Subscription Service

(Las Vegas, NV – May 22, 2017) – Poker Central® launched PokerGO™, a poker subscription service that will feature many of poker’s biggest live events – such as the Super High Roller Bowl and the World Series of Poker (WSOP), both kicking off this summer – and on-demand original programming throughout the year. The service is available via a $99 annual subscription or a $10 monthly pass, and can be accessed through www.PokerGO.com.

PokerGO will serve as the preeminent destination for poker enthusiasts, showcasing the biggest tournaments and high stakes cash games in the world, with multiple events premiering every month. Along with the $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl, extensive WSOP coverage will include the untelevised hours of the Main Event, the $111,111 buy-in High Roller for One Drop, and more than a dozen other bracelet events throughout the summer. PokerGO’s live poker offering will continue to expand with weekly high stakes cash games later this summer and additional premier poker events to be announced. All PokerGO live events will be produced by their exclusive production partner, Poker Productions.
