Newsletters published by online casinos are becoming more prevalent and sophisticated, serving as internal newspapers.
It has become common for online casinos to publish newsletters on daily, weekly or monthly basis. These keep the players in the loop with news about the latest promotions, tournaments, raffles, new games, additions to the casino and so on. In conjunction with newsletters, many online casinos run separate Facebook and Twitter accounts where they keep players updated on a daily basis. Blogs ran by online casinos are also becoming widespread, delivering players with interesting articles, tips, strategies, reviews and the likes.
Player Communities
Some online casinos take it one step further, offering full player communities. 888 poker is a good example. The poker room gives players access to a thriving community. 888 poker players get access to blogs (also written by Team888), forums of varying subjects, chat, photos, videos, groups, articles and a live twitter feed. It is, as it claims, an online community for players to socialize and hone their skills aside to the actual poker action.
Some of the latest news on the 888poker newsletter tell of a recent expansion in its elite poker team.
Team 888poker Expands
Two new members have joined Team 888poker, Xuan Liu from Canada and Sofia Losvgren of Sweden. A regular at the poker tournament circuit, Xuan Liu has over $1.4 million in live event cash to her name.

She took the first place in last year's Italian Poker Tour.
Sofia Losvgren is based in Malta and Gothenburg, she's a writer and a professional poker player with four World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes and successes in other tournaments like the EPT San Remo.
