Poker Time Goes Private

PokerTime will start to go private, with the aim of becoming a completely private Poker Room in the near future. However, they will continue to use Microgaming’s tried-and-trusted software as they believe that it is the very best available.

From 15 May 2008, all of their Hold‘Em tables with stakes of $1/$2 and below will move onto a private network. At this point, nothing will change with regards to their high-stakes tables.

“By moving our small-stakes tables onto a private network we’ll be able to immediately add value to our mass market. Our focus will be on successfully growing this community,” explains James Grant, Customer Relationship Manager of PokerTime.

This move will enable PokerTime to add value to their players in the form of bigger and better exclusive promotions, including higher-paying bonuses and more private tournaments.

It’s anticipated that such offerings will favourably differentiate PokerTime from other Poker Rooms on the Microgaming Network. Yet their players will still have access to the best of the Microgaming tournaments and software, but with the added luxury of playing in private environment. “In essence, we’ll be giving them the best of both worlds,” concludes Grant.
