I'm curious when Ladbrokes is becoming part of Microgaming/Prima. I got an email from RakeTheRake giving some type of promotion for Ladbrokes on Prima network.

Whats the news on this topic? Which limits are going to be the shared player pool (i.e. 2/4nl+)?

They will share the low stakes with Unibet and mid/high stakes with all the network, +2/4 or 3/6... I'm not sure.

I read that they will lunch the new software on 10th Feb, maybe they will join microgaming network on 10th too.

Don't remember if it is 10th or 11th February.

Players will be shared at 3/6NL+.

SnGo and MTT should be shared.

Nothing new with the lobby - I think this news is from last 2008

Then moves the 10 feb, sharing NL$400+ w/ micro / NL€400+ w/ micro and NL€200- w/ Unibet only.

Its new for Ladbrokes, they are still using the old microgaming software.

ubeticall · 02-08-2009, 08:39 PM

Are you sure? I thought they offered both

Hilips · 02-08-2009, 08:46 PM

Yes, i installed the other day to see the new NL games with antes. They have the old one and one in 3D, but not the one that we use at Eurolinx now.

What? Does this mean Labrokes will share 2/4NL or 3/6 with Microgaming?

I thought it was 5/10+ traffic only to be shared across the network, everything else under those limits will only be shared with Unibet. I emailed Ladbrokes support about this last week.

I had an email from laddies as follows...

Hello ***, your Account ID is: ***

There are some changes occurring at Ladbrokes Poker - which means that on the 10th of February 2009 your poker account will be changed from US Dollars to your chosen local currency.* Your local currency is the one that you selected upon registering with Ladbrokes. This means that at that point any funds you hold will be converted from US Dollars - into that local currency. The exchange rate that is current at the time will be applied.

This is due to the fact that Ladbrokes Poker will be offering tables in more currencies from February 10th - and we wish to ensure that only one exchange rate is applied should you wish to sit at a table in any of the currencies which will be on offer. The conversion into the table currency (US Dollars or Euro) will be applied when you sit at a cash table or buy into a tournament - at the exchange rate at that time.

Im grumbling about this because I dont think its fair that my money should be converted without my permission. As it happens the dollar is currently weakening against sterling, so Id rather wait for a better time for currency conversion to occur - in other words...Im losing money on the deal! Any thoughts on this?

Don't worry, this is a mistake.

If you have an account in $, it will be in $ after the 10 feb

It's only for people who have a sportbooks balance in an other currency and play poker in $.
