BetVictor to fully migrate poker to Microgaming
Operator had set up a room on the network for selected markets last year.
BetVictor will become the latest poker operator to leave the IGT Poker network for Microgaming, after an exclusive deal was announced today.
The operator already used Microgaming for selected markets not served by IGT – most notably Israel – but will now move its entire poker offering to the network at the end of this month.
It follows iGame’s announcement yesterday which confirmed its planned migration to Microgaming. The two companies join the likes of Ladbrokes, Stan James and Unibet on the growing network, which could overtake Ongame with the addition of the six new network skins (five from iGame and one from BetVictor).
BetVictor head of poker Andy Horne said: “We’re looking forward to consolidating our online poker business on the Microgaming Poker Network, where we’ve been serving customers in a variety of international markets since late last year.”
Microgaming remains in discussions with a number of other “major operators” with a view to expanding the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) further.
The software provider’s head of network games Lydia Melton added: “The MPN has seen significant advances over the past year, with developments by the Network Management Board and the launch of our True Value rake allocation method making it the natural choice for leading operators.”
A number of operators with poker offerings on IGT’s network are currently looking to move, after the New York-listed company’s chief executive Patti Hart confirmed that the network – formerly known as Entraction – would be shut down amid dot.country concerns.
