Pinnacle Licenses Poker Software from LVFH

New Poker Site Expected to Launch Later this Year
Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment, an e-gaming software developer and provider that licenses its software to third parties, announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Action Poker Gaming (APG), has licensed its poker software to Pinnacle Sports Worldwide.
The sportsbook Pinnacle has entered into an agreement with APG to license its stand-alone poker software for PinnaclePoker.com. APG's stand-alone poker model grants large operators complete control over their own dedicated poker networks.
“Finding a tailored poker solution that was established yet adaptable to our strategy was a critical factor in selecting a software provider,” said Simon Noble of Pinnacle. “After researching the current offerings, it was clear that APG provided the perfect complement for our requirements. We are extremely excited to launch our poker platform and enter the online gaming sector’s fastest-growing market.”
The agreement will enable Pinnacle to offer its worldwide customer base an extensive selection of poker games and tournament play on PinnaclePoker.com, with a projected launch in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Some clients on APG’s Action Poker Network include tigergaming.com, islandpoker.com, koreacasino.com, the bike.com, and alumnipoker.com.

I wonder what kind of tactic they use to attract player in. Hopefully, they will offer something like WSEX, if not completely, at least something.

I am sure they will. I'm sure it will be either very low or no rake. Or maybe a normal rake with a very aggresssive rakeback to get people to play more. Should be interesting.
