Merge Gaming Acquires 3 Poker Rooms

Merge Gaming is going to acquire three new poker rooms on their network.  Sportsbook, Players Only, and Superbook.  These rooms are moving from the Cake Network to Merge.  This is great news for players on the Merge Network.  Sportsbook currently brings a decent amount of traffic and “fishy” players to the Cake Network. 

To combat the player loss there are 8 new rooms opening on the Cake Network to bring in new players.  Cake is one of the best promotional poker sites out there and I am happy to see they are prepared for theses rooms leaving their network.  There is a good chance as well some of the players who enjoyed the benefits of Cake’s promotions will simply sign up to a new room on the Cake Network when the change is made.  Only time will tell, that time appears to be mid-April 2010. 

This would definitely be a good time to jump on one of the already established poker rooms on the Merge Network since they are sure to see an increase in their player base in April 2010.  The biggest player with the best sign up bonus is currently Carbon Poker.  Carbon poker offers 30% rakeback with a 150% sign up bonus up to $1,000.  The next best sign up bonus is Aced Poker with 100% up to $500 and 30% rakeback.  Trailing is Poker Nordica with 100% up to $200 and 30% rakeback.  Some of these rooms also offer monthly rake races with Carbon usually paying out the most.  Be sure to look at our monthly rakeback promotions as well as previous month’s races when selecting a room on the Merge Network.
