(PRESS RELEASE) – Ladbrokes Poker is to set to join the Microgaming Poker Network, one of the world’s leading poker networks, to ensure more action for its players in tournaments and certain cash games.

Ladbrokespoker.com already licenses Microgaming’s poker software, so Ladbrokes’ customers will notice little change to the site when it begins operating within the Microgaming Poker Network from early 2009.

Commenting on the move John O’Reilly, Managing Director, Ladbrokes Remote Betting and Gaming said:

“Joining the Microgaming network will give our players more action on a wider variety of games, particularly at higher staking levels. Microgaming is a leading network and will offer Ladbrokespoker players faster access to the games they want. We will continue to operate outside of the network on tables where we already offer players the level of action they demand.”

Ladbrokes does not accept US players and this position is unaffected by our move to join the Microgaming network. Ladbrokespoker.com will continue to provide its customers with high levels of customer service and a unique experience through world-leading poker events, tournaments and promotions such as the Ladbrokes Poker Million, World Series of Poker packages, the Ladbrokespoker.com European Ladies Championship, Ladbrokes European Online Championship of Poker, Ladbrokes Poker Cruise and Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival.
