Microgaming overtakes iPoker network for first time in 10 years

Publish: 2016-08-22 14:58:24

The Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) is now the fifth biggest provider on the .COM/.EU market based on their cash game traffic.

According to cash game traffic tracking site PokerScout, the Microgaming Poker Network took over the iPoker network with an average of 850 cash game players at the tables in the past 7 days, with iPoker averaging 800 players during the same time period.

This is the first time since 2007 that MPN managed to take over iPoker. Microgaming has increased their traffic by a total of 45% in the past two years and 30% from 2015 to 2016, which is a fantastic performance in the current declining industry, even more so when we take into account that Unibet and Ladbrokes have both left the network.

In the past two years, Microgaming decreased rake and implemented various changes aimed at creating a healthier ecology on the network. These included permitting screen name changes, not allowing short-stacking and waging a war against seating scripts.

 

iPoker is showing the exact opposite trend. Their total traffic has declined by 50% in the past two years and 35% from 2015 to 2016.

Microgaming is currently the biggest network on the .COM/.EU market, the only rooms with more traffic are standalone rooms: PokerStars, 888poker, Bodog and Partypoker.

Microgaming is a leading software development company in the gambling sector and famous for their poker network and their online slots among other products.
