Playboy.co.uk was originally operated on a paid-for-content basis.[1] It was re-launched in February 2009[2] as a free-access website funded by advertising, with the bulk of its content free to users.[1]
The re-launched website had editorial and video content that was advertiser-funded, including entertainment channels featuring movies, music, games, TV shows and sports[1] along with a branded social networking element. Its "Life & Style" section included editorial and video content on grooming, fashion, food, gadgets and opinions, all reflecting the Playboy lifestyle.[2]
Additionally, it also produced some original content that differed from print editions of the publications produced by Playboy Publishing.
