There are a number of new poker networks that have done really well in the recent past, and one such network is the iPoker Network.
There have been quite a few poker networks in recent times that have proved the premise that one has to be around for a while to be successful, wrong. One such poker network is the iPoker network. This network is big and lets everyone know it.
There are many amazing facts when you consider the iPoker online poker network. For starters, it is bigger than the combined size of the Microgaming and Cryptologic poker networks, and that is really huge. This network has a staggering number of rooms, almost 75 of them. The names of poker rooms on this network are familiar, with Titan Poker ringing a bell instantly.
The iPoker network’s size has attracted the attention of a large number of major sports betting companies, with the result that many of them are on this network as well. Some of the big names include Bet365 and CentreBet.
When it comes to such a big online poker network like the iPoker network, the positives for the players are obvious. Players get the chance to access the huge number of rooms on this network, and also the sports betting outfits, by just logging into and registering an account in any one of the rooms on this network. Not just that, they also get to play for the huge jackpots and tournaments available in some of the rooms on the network even if they are registered with a different room on the network.
The iPoker online poker network, however, does not accept players from the US. One thing about this network that some many consider to be a negative point (and some a positive) is the presence of a large number of players of lower skill levels. Called loose and passive fish in ‘pokerese’, you will find a lot of them floating around on this network, mostly around the no-limit tables.
One thing that players can be guaranteed at the iPoker network is a huge volume of traffic. This network ranks third on Poker Scout’s list of poker networks based on traffic. That is a huge achievement for a network, especially when you consider the fact that it is not one of the ‘golden oldies.’
The average number of players normally on this network is about 10,000 at the cash games, which goes up to about 12,000 during peak hours. During peak hours, you will find about 20,000 players across the different rooms on this network.
The iPoker network owes its success mostly to its software, which has been developed by Playtech, a well-known name in the online gaming software development industry. The software provides the network with a number of player-friendly features, such as good gaming speed, quick download time, great details, and some fantastic graphics and sound. Some of the other features available include hand history, the ability for players to post their pictures, a buddy list, and much more.
At the iPoker network, you get the usual range of games – Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Seven Card Stud. All games are available in no limit, fixed limit, and pot limit options.
