Two online poker rooms have announced they will be moving from the IGT/Entraction poker network to Microgaming.
BetVictor and iGaming both announced the move following Entraction’s announcement that they will no longer be servicing the European market due to a regulatory stranglehold occurring in many of the Eurozone nations.
The Entraction Poker Network was purchased by IGT late last year and since that time the parent company has focused more heavily on building its presence in the US ahead of regulation.
“We are thrilled to be joining the Microgaming Poker Network and securing for our players access to the highest quality poker software, good liquidity and a secure long-term future,” said Managing Director of iGame Holding, Tommi Maijala. “The experience of players is always our utmost priority, so joining the MPN is a very natural development for us.”
Microgaming’s Lydia Melton added: “We are also in advanced discussions with a number of other major operators looking to join the Microgaming Poker Network. The significant advances Microgaming has made to the way the poker network is managed via our Network Management Board, coupled with major software developments, has made the MPN the network of choice for top tier operators looking for a stable, long term strategic partner. We look forward to announcing more operators joining the network in the near future.”
According to Reuters, IGT’s North American business accounted for 76 percent of its revenue during fiscal year 2011.
