iPoker Network History

The company behind the iPoker Network (Playtech) first launched in 1999. In 2001 their first online casino went live, and three years later their multi player poker product was live. In poker rooms, the initial host of this software was Noble Poker, but a short while later there blossomed a full blown network with Titan Poker as the flagship site.

At the time iPoker launched, Ongame was the largest online poker network with flagship sites PokerRoom.com and Hollywood Poker. Other competitors included Boss Media, Microgaming, Tribecca, Tain and Cryptologic, each distant second to Ongame. By late 2007, iPoker had grown into the second largest online poker network. Early that same year, a huge merger took place, and Tribeca and Tain sites were all moved to the iPoker Network, which for the first time had them competing with Ongame.

During the second half of 2007, Ongame and PlayTech went neck to neck as far as which site was the largest in terms of real money ring game traffic. In 2008, more breaks went iPoker’s way as they signed a number of big operators to their network. When the Cryptologic Network announced plans to move to Boss Media, many of the operators decided to jump ship and partner with iPoker instead. This gained iPoker sites such as William Hill, Sun Poker and several other sites.

Today iPoker is by far the largest online poker network, with more than double the traffic of their closest competitor and one time leader Ongame. While they’re still a distant second to the World’s largest poker sites overall, as far as networks go it does not appear that anyone will be catching them soon.
