Who doesn’t love working!
OK – maybe if we had a choice, we would prefer to be lying on the beach…or shopping!

Founded in 2005, the APL is the world’s largest free poker league, and global market leader in the provision of free-to-play poker as entertainment in pubs and clubs.
With over 350,000 members and an average growth rate of almost 500 new players daily, the APL now hosts over 4,000 events per month in close to 800 venues nationally – and counting.
In 2007, the league wrote itself into the history books when it hosted its Tournament of Champions (TOC) – the world’s richest live free roll poker event with a prize pool in excess of $1,000,000. In August 2008 the TOC will also become the world’s largest; with an estimated 1000 runners set to compete.
The APL has given away well in excess of $15,000,000 in its short three and a half years of operation. To this day the APL has maintained its position of market leader in provision of free poker and is now a frontrunner in the national entertainment market.
Try your hand over the coming months at the following events in Sydney;
- Tigers Memorial Club – Rozelle (talk to us about a free bus ride to this venue)
- Botany RSL – Botany
- Gladesville RSL – Gladesville
These events are FREE and provide a great afternoon’s entertainment!
