Gamebookers (www.gamebookers.com), one of the world's largest betting sites today, announced the launch of its new poker platform. The poker room is live on the Microgaming Poker Network.
With access to non-stop 24-hour action, daily tournaments and satellites to the best land-based tournaments around the world, Gamebookers players will now be able to hone their skills at the poker tables, while still taking advantage of Gamebookers' state-of-the-art online sportsbook.
"Poker is an exciting addition to the market-leading Gamebookers betting and gaming portfolio. Online gaming, for us, is no longer 'just' about having the best sports betting platform in the market," said Gamebookers CEO John O Malia. "We have to ensure that we are offering the best of all possible available services to our loyal customers, and poker is the product that our customers were clamouring for most loudly after we launched our massively successful casino platform."
Already boasting more than 240,000 users worldwide, Gamebookers expects to add significant player numbers through this latest addition, as the world's appetite for poker shows little sign of slowing down.
"By working with market leaders in the online poker industry, we know that our players are getting the highest quality product that they expect from Gamebookers," continued Malia.
"As a leading sportsbook, Gamebookers is used to offering the highest quality of service to its players," said Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming. "The organization shares the same ideals as Microgaming -- to provide the most exciting, secure and robust experience for its customers. We have experienced considerable growth on our poker network over the past year and are delighted they have chosen to join the Microgaming Poker Network."
