40 000th poker player on PokerDIY - A brief history

PokerDIY started out in life in 2005 as a website for a small group of friends who got together every Wednesday for a home poker game.

Roll on 3.5 years later and we have just had our 40 000th poker player sign up for their free account on PokerDIY!

This is great news – our community of poker players is growing at a astonish rate – let’s take a look at some milestones and you can see why PokerDIY is more than just another poker social network.

Improved poker league scoreboard updating

Those of you who manage your poker leagues on PokerDIY will know that in the past updating your poker league game results was a bit of a pain. If you were not using Dr Neau, STP or The Tournament Director to import your results, you'd have to enter them manually through the web or iphone.

One of our users eventually commented on how slow this process was and raised a Feature Request. Well, we listened and redesigned the process to make it much quicker and easier to record your game scores!
