LadbrokesPoker.com Set To Join The Microgaming Poker Network

Wednesday, 13 August 2008 - 13:42 (GMT)

In a move designed to give more tournament action and certain types of cash games LadbrokesPoker.com have announced they are to join the Microgaming Poker Network, one of the biggest leading poker networks.

Ladbrokes will begin operating within the Microgaming Poker Network in early 2009, although no exact date of when this will happen has actually been announced yet.

Ladbrokes poker.com already licenses the Microgaming Networks poker software to use on their website, so regular Ladbrokes users will find little or no difference to the site when the change comes in to operation next year.
Commenting on the move John O’Reilly, Managing Director, Ladbrokes Remote Betting and Gaming said:
“Joining the Microgaming network will give our players more action on a wider variety of games, particularly at higher staking levels. Microgaming is a leading network and will offer Ladbrokes poker players faster access to the games they want. We will continue to operate outside of the network on tables where we already offer players the level of action they demand. Ladbrokes does not accept US players and this position is unaffected by our move to join the Microgaming network.”
Ladbrokes .com will still continue to give their customers a high level of customer care and service. There will be no change in the poker events covered by Ladbrokes and leading poker events, tournaments and promotions will not be affected by the change.
Users will still have access to tournaments like the Ladbrokes Poker Million, World Series of Poker packages, the Ladbrokespoker.com European Ladies Championship, Ladbrokes European Online Championship of Poker, Ladbrokes Poker Cruise and Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival.
