Play Pool – Win Money!

There are a myriad of sites popping up on the Internet that have been spurned, in my belief, by the online poker craze. One of these is online pool and snooker sites that allow the users to play for fun or even real money.

Not so long ago the World Pool Association backed one of these sites but it never really got off the ground. Where this one failed others have come in it’s path.

One of the most popular and heavily advertised on the web is Play89, this online pool room offers tournaments, free-rolls, real money matches and playing for fun much like an online poker room. Like poker rooms there is also regular sign-up bonuses for new players.

To play the game you will need to download the free Play89 software but this is very straight forward to do, just allow the system to run as normal.

What amazes me is that in some cases in the past it has been possible for online players to earn more oney than proper professional pool players, go figure!

If you have played Play89 or any other online pool or snooker game then please let me know which one and I will see if I can write a review. Likewise if you feel inclined you can also submit a review for publication.
