| Tournament Announces Exclusive Agreement for Valve Titles Tournament.com has announced an agreement making the site the only officially licensed arena to host Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source game matches with cash prizes. Users will be able to compete against each other online and place small-scale stakes on their skills. Tournament.com is committed to creating a safe and secure environment for online gaming. Players start by downloading the client from the Tournament.com website. Once the client is installed and an account has been established with Tournament.com, players can deposit money into their account or "wallet" for small scale stakes games of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch or Counter-Strike: Source. To ensure responsible gaming, Tournament.com allows users to stake no more than $10 per match and deposit a maximum of $150 in their account each month. The service also provides a ranking system that allows players to view other users' skill levels, and a handicap system to allow players of all levels to play against one another. To use the service, all players must be 18 or older, which Tournament.com enforces with special age verification software that is presented to all players upon installation of the client. Tournament.com will go live in May. To sign up for the service and for more information, please visit www.tournament.com. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
