Merge Gaming set to grow

04/10/2010

The forthcoming migration this month of PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com poker players to the Merge Poker Network (see previous InfoPowa reports) is set to dramatically increase player liquidity, boosting player numbers by as much as five times by some estimates.

The US-friendly network has also announced a five percent increase in maximum rakeback to 35 percent, which is to be implemented on April 15 and will be keenly observed by rakeback affiliates.

Merge is currently ranked 20th on the independent Internet poker information site PokerScout.com, which at present assesses the network's liquidity at 225 real money ring game players on the basis of a seven day average.
