I see a lot of people mentioning twitch as an advertisement. I think that might be a good idea, but it has the obvious problem that you will be playing on other companies' poker sites until the site is ready. I would suggest holding some live events, maybe a tournament or a cash game, or some of both, and putting it on twitch with RIO people doing the commentary and or playing.
Someone put reruns of High Stakes Poker & Poker After Dark on Twitch and that channel is often in the top 3 most watched channels even though it is repeating the same reruns almost everyday. Whenever Pokerstars streams an EPT event that is almost always the most watched stream in twitch poker.
People like to watch live poker more than online poker. So I would suggest doing something live as opposed to online poker until the site is up. It will get more views than someone sitting alone in front of a computer, you can have your commercials during breaks sort of like 888 did when the WSOP Europe was streamed on twitch, and you don't have to play on the other poker sites while trying to advertise for your own.

I hope this is successful, but I do worry about how you will attract recreational players to the site, people that don't have RIO subscriptions. I'd imagine the games on RIO poker could potentially be very tough.
Also if you want to get Japanese players please keep in mind they soon will not be able to use Skrill or Neteller to deposit and you can't use a Japanese credit card to deposit on an Internet poker site. They could use something like Entropay, webmoney, or Bitcoin.
Not a bad suggestion, but I'm not sure that would work if it explicitly says that on the site. I think it might ruin the ecosystem. Maybe have a separate pool for mobile app players that can't have a hud.
