Monday 29th March 2010 Trio of online casinos set to Merge
Merge Gaming has announced that Antigua-licensed PlayersOnly.com, SuperBook.com and Sportsbook.com will join its leading virtual poker network from April 15 at the expense of the rival Cake Poker Network.
All three sites are owned by Jazette Enterprises with all poker operations now set to be handled by Merge, which already includes top sites such as Spin32Poker.com, Gr88.com, BigBetPoker.com, PokerHost.com and CarbonPoker.com.
“This is an industry-changing deal and we are delighted to have come to an agreement with Jazette Enterprises,” said Anthony Taylor, Chief Executive Officer for Merge.
“This deal will bring massive liquidity to the network and see the online poker industry landscape change overnight. We are delighted to sign such an established partner to the network. It's through our great software and superior back-end we are able to attract a group of this size to the Network.”
A statement from the Cake Poker Network revealed that it intends to honour player’s Gold Cards and Gold Chips after the sites leave its system. It revealed that Gold Cards and Gold Chips are the foundation of its Cake Rewards programme and urged players that would like to remain with it to e-mail its customer support staff after the transfer.
“Our goal is to provide our players with the best poker experience possible, which is why we decided to make this move,' said Roger Whitaker, spokesperson for Jazette.
“We're confident that our players will enjoy the ground-breaking features, generous loyalty rewards programme and improved overall playability that Merge's poker software provides.
“With the same dedicated team behind us, players can rest assured that our new poker offering comes with the same steadfast adherence to player protection, security and fairness we have been providing since 1996.”
