By RP, June 1, 2015

Thrill Poker is live with Microgaming Poker; the first operator to go live on the new MPN India.

Established in 2013, Thrill Poker.com is regarded as one of the top providers of online poker to the Indian market. Its team boasts a cumulative 45 years of experience in the online gaming and lotteries business in Europe.

The company has migrated all of its existing traffic to the Microgaming platform, says Thrill Poker director Aditya Oberoi.

“Online and offline poker in India is growing massively in popularity,” Oberoi added. “We wanted to build an offering which was market-leading, secure, and robust in order to provide the best possible poker experience to Indian players.”

Thrill Poker is the first operator on the MPN India, a new, ring-fenced poker network dedicated to the Indian market and operating exclusively in Indian Rupees. A number of other operators are in the pipeline to join the network in the coming months, according to Microgaming.

Alex Scott, head of poker at Microgaming, said Monday: “We have added another string to our bow with a poker network dedicated to India; it is a growing market and we are now well positioned to capitalise on this.”

Thrill Poker recently announced the launch of ‘Team Thrill India’, a group of India’s top rated tournament players. With the launch of Team Thrill India and their migration to the Microgaming platform, Thrill Poker aims to grow the skill game of poker in India and establish role models for the evolving poker community in the country.
