I make it no secret that the iPoker Network is a personal favorite place to play. This network is made up of a large number of European sports betting brands, all of which have a high street, TV and football shirt presence… this means lots of new poker players coming over from the sportsbooks, keeping the games loose, profitable and best of all – fun!
Some great news for iPoker players in this post. First, one of the biggest UK bookmakers is going to join them soon. Second, a huge tournament event is about to get going at Titan Poker (the single biggest site on this network).
Members Of The iPoker Network
The new member will be none other than Ladbrokes – the high street UK bookmaker who already have a large presence in online poker via their Microgaming network offering. They have announced their intention to move, though not the exact timescale. In my experience these things take around 2 months from a practical standpoint, so unless there are any contractual / legal issues still to be resolved we can expect Ladbrokes on iPoker in June.
With the size of this organization I am expecting them to join the top tier (iPoker2). This is the big names who bring new players to the games and segregate their tables from the tier 1 ‘skins’ who are generally more VIP deal / grinder focused.
If you are not already on iPoker2 then you need to switch – there are 1000’s more beginning / amateur players there.
Here is my current list of iPoker 2 sites:
Titan Poker (I have a great $20 extra offer, see below)
Paddy Power
William Hill
Everest Poker
Bet365
Poker770
BetFair (offer players both iPoker and OnGame, moving to iPoker fully soon)
I recommend anyone looking for a new home on this network check out Titan Poker first. The single biggest poker site on the network leads the way with promos and extras. Including the awesome ‘Titan Treasures’ rewards scheme.
You can get $20 extra cash on top of your 200% first deposit bonus at Titan. Register with bonus code PBCLUB, and deposit a minimum of $30 first time, I will then ensure that the $20 is paid directly into your player account within 48 hours (usually sooner). Check out those soft games for yourself at TitanPoker.com!
iPoker Online Poker Series To Return
Shortened to iPOPs, this tournament event guarantees a cool 1.2 million Euros in prize money. What I like about this one (apart from the easy games) is that most of the fields get their tickets via satellite qualifiers… instead of the high-rollers taking all the money it is regular players!
The dates for your diary are April 21st to May 5th for the events, with satellites already underway. The 3-tier qualifier system means that players with all different bankrolls will get a shot – so check out the details over at Titan Poker now.
Remember, bonus code PBCLUB for your 200% welcome match and $20 extra free cash!
