Microgaming adds BalkanBet.com

Isle Of Man-based online gambling software provider Microgaming has announced a deal with land-based casino and betting operator BalkanBet Limited that will see its online property at BalkanBet.com added to the Microgaming Poker Network. Leading online poker sites including 32RedPoker.com, SpinPalacePoker.com and PokerTime.eu already utilise the Microgaming Poker Network with the provider stating that BalkanBet.com’s move ‘will serve to expand its online offering and capitalise further on the significant growth potential that the Balkan gaming market provide’. “The development of our online offering is a key part of our growth strategy,” said Martin Simeonov, Chief Executive Officer for BalkanBet Limited. “With Microgaming on board, we are able to deliver a market-leading product offering to our existing sportsbook players, which is completely integrated into their platform. This partnership will enable us to cement our position as a key player in the Balkans online gaming market.” This announcement comes hot on the heels of Microgaming introducing a number of innovative changes to its poker offering including the adoption of the ‘weighted contribution’ system of rake calculation alongside alterations to its multi-table tournament schedule and the introduction of measures designed to prevent data mining. “We are delighted to be welcoming BalkanBet.com to the Microgaming Poker Network,” said Roger Raatgever, Chief Executive Officer for Microgaming. “With a focus on the Balkan region, the addition of BalkanBet.com to the Network allows us to expand our reach into this dynamic market. Poker players in the region will have access to a world-class poker platform through an operator that is specifically tailored to their needs. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with BalkanBet.com.”
