Pamela Anderson promotes online poker site

Former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson is the new face of an online poker website.

The blonde star is the ambassador of BamPoker, a new virtual gambling site available through Facebook.com.

The game was launched by Canadian businessmen Elton Pereira and Jeremy Nichele, and Anderson is adamant they will offer poker fans a new way of playing on the web.

She says, "When I first met Elton and Jeremy, I knew they were on to something special. They weren't interested in creating just

another game - they wanted to take the social elements of online poker in a bold new direction. There is nothing like BamPoker out there today, and I am excited to be a part of such an innovative platform!"
