I read on pokerfuse.com that pokafrica.com is a new site. I made an account and downloaded the software. My AVG antivirus removed it the first time i opened the programme.

Then i 'googled' the word pokafrica and it only gave me 3010 results.

Also i emailed them twice and did send a message on the skype address they had on the site.

No responce at all.

Anyone knows about this site?

Its a new site on the Intellogix network - which is not recomendable.

Search 2+2 for more info.

Do not drag names in the mud simply because less reliable skins are on the same network, Pokafrica are actually one of very few skins that run regular promotions to attract traffic.

Never heard of it, but it's name sounds like a Nigerian scam. Horrible choice of site name if you ask me.

Yeah, and the same thing goes for any name with Asia in it because I've received some shady emails from China. And anything with America in the name makes me think of Bernie Madoff.

I also stopped playing Texas Hold'em after the Waco siege.

Yeah, but when you think of "online" scams everyone immediately thinks of Nigeria. Bad marketing decision for whoever came up with that name.

Hi Guys,

I am the manager of Pokafrica.
Our company is based in Seychelles Islands, not in Nigeria :-)
We organize WPT and APT Mauritius each year and produce the french TV show, Paradise of Poker.

Tilo, you can allow your antivirus to download it or to play directly on our flash version.

We don't have a lot of players for the moment (650 registered) but you can find a lot of overlay on our tournaments and satellites.
