A press release from the Merge Gaming network confirmed today that Players Only will be moving their poker opperations to the Merge Gaming Network.

Despite the Cake Poker Network being the 6th largest poker networks online (pokerscout.com) Players Only and other brands owned by the Jazette Enterprises group will make the transition in 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.

Therefore we advise that any poker players looking to secure a rakeback deal on the Cake Poker Network should do so at either Cake Poker or DDoylesRoom.
