(Dublin, Ireland) Wednesday, 3 February 2010
Merge Gaming today announced that Jazette Enterprises the controller of Sports Betting, Online Betting, NBA Basketball Betting, March Madness Betting at Sportsbook-com, will join their growing poker network by mid April 2010.
Merge Gaming the designer, developer and licensor of software to the international online poker industry, today announces it has successfully agreed to migrate the online poker gaming activities of Jazette Enterprises to the Merge Gaming platform.
The deal will see the group's brands; sportsbook-com, playersonly-com and superbook-com move their poker operations to the Merge Gaming platform. It is expected all players will be seamlessly transferred over to the Merge Gaming platform by mid April 2010.
Anthony Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Merge Gaming, said:
"This is an industry changing deal and we are delighted to have come to an agreement with Jazette Enterprises. This deal will bring massive liquidity to the network and see the online poker industry landscape change overnight. We are delighted to sign such an established partner to the network, it's through our great software and superior back end we are able to attract a group of this size to the network.
A spokesperson for Jazette Enterprises, added:
"Our goal is to provide our players with the best poker experience possible which is why we decided to make this move," said Roger Whitaker, a spokesperson for Jazette Enterprises. "We're confident that our players will enjoy the ground breaking features, generous loyalty rewards program and improved overall playability that Merge's poker software provides."
"With the same dedicated team behind us, players can rest assured that our new poker offering comes with the same steadfast adherence to player protection, security and fairness we have been providing since 1996," says Whitaker.
As far as rakeback goes on the Cake Network, we understand that players who had rakeback on either Sportsbook or PlayersOnly will be allowed to get rakeback on a new Cake Skin, though we are not sure when this will happen.
As far as races and rakeback on PlayersOnly etc is concerned, we will be pressing boths sides to make the change for the 1st day of a month, rather than midway through a month
As soon as we have more information we will post it here, but if you have any questions in the mean time please feel free to email our support.
just read this article thought some people over here might not of heard yet so u can make proper arrangements with ur bankroll before they make the switch cause merge is very slow about payouts .
take care
Hope my money moves also,,,,,,not much but it adds up
take care
I don't know about everyone else, but I don't think the Merge software is even 1/10 that of Cakes. Merge is one of the top 2 or 3 processor and memory intensive Poker Softwares out there. Clunky Chunky. Of all the Poker Software out there Merge is not on the Top of my List.
This of course is just my opinion.
Many others may like the Merge software.
I will miss Players Only and Sportsbook.
Well like many things in life you adapt or you are no more.
Good Luck Players Only and Sportsbook.
Players Only moving to the Merge network.

Cake software is always glitch, you see the leaderboard when playing a game and go blanks, put half of players, or take a lot to reload, in that way merge is way better.
About cards random generator also like more merge, Cake generates some wild cards, merge also have his part but you can see players with same cards, runner-runner flushes or str8 more frecuently in Cake that any other site.
If Merge could speed up the cashouts could be a great place to play, but right now cashouts sucks big time there, in that way Cake network is really better with fast cashouts.
Hopely with Sportsbook and players only with merge they can improve withdraw times.
If you talk about software, then i like more merge than cake software any day.
