Right. Half of those are Betsson, but i'm not disputing that MPN doesn't have some strong brands (and don't forget Grovesnor now too).

But iPoker is undisputably bigger: when it comes to B&M you've got WillHill, Paddy, Betfred, Genting, Gala Coral, Ladbrokes. Almost all UK highstreet bookmakers have poker in iPoker. And then you've got some huge online brands--Bet365, Betfair, Expekt, Titan, Manion, Everest.

Just makes it even more impressive MPN's achievement.

UK-based companies have a history of being the most trusted due to the influence of the UK Gambling commission. The biggest brick and mortar poker operator grosvenor is on there, along with PKR and others. Most of the betsson group are on there also, who are a big Euro bookmaker with a great record.

Doesn't really matter if betsson owns half of those skins imo. But anyways both networks have big reliable skins to choose from. And about betfred they are moving to party right?

I think we're just talking past each other. You said "Big eu bookmakers are the best". I just wanted to highlight that MPN's success isn't really down to having big bookmakers on the network; iPoker has that (much bigger brands I would argue) and that hasn't helped. MPN's success is down to network-level policy decisions it has made over the last two years.

Betfred to party - unconfirmed, to the best of my knowledge. The GVC deal doesn't explicitly mention poker (though it does use the word exclusive...) and no one at either could confirm to me that the deal would pertain specifically to poker.

I just wonder which skins on here are the best to play on. Triobet my money seems most safe with.

My bad if I wasn't clear enough.

And now they are growing just bring back the old prima client.

Stan James is now owned by Unibet IIRC - I don't know how long they will be on MPN.

I used to play a lot on MPN, but stopped after Unibet left. Now recently I downloaded betsafe which is on MPN and noticed nothing has changed. Could not spot 1 change in the software. Felt quite familiar

Glad to see good old Prima Network (Microgaming) is still staying alive + more.

http://www.mpn.poker/poker-rooms/

I would say that maybe not all of them are totally reliable and/or targeting a worldwide audience, though.
Some of them might look kinda shady (with domain in .cw for example) while some others seem to accept players from specific countries only.
But the big european online casino operators there are trustworthy and safe, imo.

The original prima poker software was a ton faster and more fun than the current MPN offering, in my opinion of course.

^^ The OG Prima software was great.

Ahhhh cant we go back to 2006? Crypto & then Betfair (PokerChamps software) were so much fun. I still dont understand why Crypto died nor why when Betfair switched to Ongame or why that PokerChamps software didnt get picked up. Getting a random alert when a Greek whale sat down was so awesome. Didnt do much good to the eco system of the game tho

I for one am happy that IPoker is loosing Traffic.

I remember two years ago there were 10,000 players online every night at peak hours. Tonight there are only 6500 players online and it is peak hours.

People (including me) obviously decided to leave once they dramatically cut their Rakeback.

There are no advantages in playing there anymore

I can't read the article because they want me to pay money to read it. Isn't that considered spam if someone links to an article that requires payment to read it? Just wondering.

It could be spam if it was OP's site which, AFAIK, it isn't. Also, a link to the complete article was given in post 10.

I'm neither happy or sad, but not surprised. William Hill is one of the biggest companies on the iPoker network, and it (bizarrely) uses a slogan from the world of 'responsible gambling' very prominently in its UK TV ad campaigns.

I-poker stopped being fun quite a while ago, so the punters are just doing what they're told imo.
