“Poker is an exciting addition to the market-leading Gamebookers betting and gaming portfolio. Online gaming, for us, is no longer \’just\’ about having the best sports betting platform in the market,” said Gamebookers CEO John O\’Malia.
“We have to ensure that we are offering the best of all possible available services to our loyal customers, and poker is the product that our customers were clamouring for most loudly after we launched our massively successful casino platform,” continued Malia. “By working with market leaders in the online poker industry, we know that our players are getting the highest quality product that they expect from Gamebookers.”
“As a leading sportsbook, Gamebookers is used to offering the highest quality of service to its players,” said Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming. “The organization shares the same ideals as Microgaming — to provide the most exciting, secure and robust experience for its customers. We have experienced considerable growth on our poker network over the past year and are delighted they have chosen to join the Microgaming Poker Network.”
In separate news, Microgaming announced the addition of TellPoker.com to its operator ranks. TellPoker tries to replicate Pokershare style approach of attracting new customers by giving away 40 per cent of its revenue and 20 per cent of the company shares to its customers during the first one and a half years of business. “We think it’s fair that those players generating growth and value for TellPoker, should be shareholders in the company,” said Anders Ericsson, co-founder of TellPoker.
Earlier last week, following the success of PokerShare.com, Gamshare Limited launched CasinoShare.com. Powered by Microgaming software, CasinoShare.com offers over 300 high quality casino games from casino classics such as blackjack and roulette, to progressive jackpot slots for those really hoping to win big.
Elsewhere, Playtech announced the launch of an online bingo operation, Bingo Broadway, while CryptoLogic delivered Texas Hold\’em Bonus Poker, the first-ever online version of the widely popular land-based casino game combining the huge popularity of poker with the excitement of a casino card game.
