A poker player might expect to see commercials while watching a poker tournament on TV, but while playing in a tournament? Not normally, but that is how one online poker room has decided to generate revenue thanks to the skills of the California-based developers CyberArts and specialists from the Advertising Gaming Network (AGN). The site, part of TheScore, one of Canada's top sports networks, will stream ads and news to players while they are in game at www.scorepoker.com. The ads are only supposed to run 15 seconds, but the verdict is out on how players feel about the intrusion.
