Sportsbook.com joins Merge Gaming

It was announced yesterday (Feb. 3rd )that the Sportsbook.com family Jazette Enterprises will be joining the Merge Gaming Network.The move should be done by mid April according to the newsletter from Merge.

As most readers here at Carolina Gambler know, it’s the Merge Gaming network that I have always felt has the best software offered to online poker players. I’ve played at Carbon Poker on the network since the very early days of 2005 when they were still poker.com. The only draw back that I have ever felt the site really had was not a large enough player base.

Unlike past instances where of new rooms on Merge Gaming where most of the players are the same ones that have just moved from one skin to another chasing down bonuses or what ever the case may be, this is a whole different story. This move will be bringing along with it more new players, perhaps several hundred to the network.

With this announcement to migrate the online poker gaming activities of Jazette Enterprises to the Merge Gaming platform I forecast a much larger player base will make for larger poker tournaments and promotions for the players. It’s expected all players from sportsbook.com, playersonly.com and superbook.com will be seamlessly transferred over to the Merge Gaming platform by mid April 2010.

A spokesperson Roger Whitaker 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. 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.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing this move take place, and hope that it will be a flawless one. Stay tuned to Carolina Gambler for any further news on this story.
