After reports that women make up just 4 percent of the 100 million poker players in the world, PokerStars announced it is teaming up with Poker Power to launch a four-week boot camp "aimed at women with a keen interest in the game who want to strengthen their skills and evolve their experience."
The partnership with the women-led Poker Power, previously known as Poker Powher, is "a key part of PokerStars’ commitment to the growth of the game and to supporting women in poker," according to a press release.
"These boot camps are an essential first opportunity to pique interest in women who have never played the game before and to motivate those that play poker, to continue to evolve their skills and gain confidence at the tables," said Rebecca McAdam Willetts, PokerStars Director of Partnerships, PR and Consumer Engagement.
