 In case you haven't heard, celebrities love playing poker. Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Tobey Maguire and James Woods are four of the most famous semi-professional players - and they aren't in it because they need the money. But that doesn't mean they don't want the money! They're hooked on the chase just as much as the next guy playing Texas Hold 'em with a passion.The media frenzy over poker - and especially online poker - has turned a game that used to be played over beers in basements into a worldwide gambling phenomenon worth billions of dollars. And the real trend behind multiplayer poker all started with a few celebs round a table being broadcast on TV. CelebPoker.com takes the best of offline celeb poker mania and connects celebrities with ordinary poker players at the same table, in the same online poker room.  Thanks to some serious star power behind this internet poker room, Celeb Poker has attracted a poker following that's now six times the size of what it was just five months ago. Hardly surprising when you look at the big names that could be logging on to play at the seat right next to you. Celebrities who have committed themselves to hanging out at CelebPoker.com include A-list celebs of stage and screen, sports heroes, singers and radio personalities from across the USA and Europe.Instead of fighting for the pot against average poker players with aliases like JoeFish or IdahoGal, your CelebPoker.com game will have you staring poker face to poker face with celebs you'd probably never get to meet in person. Celebrities like actors Lou Diamond Philips, Traci Bingham, Mickey Rooney and James D'Arcy. Singers like Nick Carter (from Backstreet Boys), Scott Robinson (ex-Five) and Brian McFadden (ex-Westlife). And sports legends like Paul Ince, Simon Davies, Jimmy White, Sam Torrance, Ed Giddons and Matthew Etherington.  But after you're done being starstruck, a poker room is only as good as its players, tournaments, freerolls and overall gambling experience. As you can imagine, celebs don't take bad service lying down. So you're guaranteed to enjoy some of the best poker play the internet has to offer. Otherwise these famous players would have nothing to lose by simply taking their (loads of) money elsewhere. But they stick around - and, from where we're sitting, here's why:Offline poker may give an exciting real-world dimension to the game but one thing it can never live up to is the overwhelming amount of free buy-in bonuses offered by online poker rooms.
