Visible Merge Benefits

GambleCraft was one of the first to report on the growth at the Merge Poker Network as a result of an acquisition deal between the major online casino gambling network and two smaller poker gambling sites. Merge is a big name in the industry and the company has just boosted itself a whole lot higher now that Sportsbook.com and PlayersOnly.com have fully merged onto the Merge Poker Network. In fact, the stats are now fully in and Poker Scout has noted that Merge’s traffic has jumped more than 160 percent! That’s quite a large sum and has really allowed Merge to leap onto the scene as a bigger contender in the online casino poker gambling industry.

The two new sites on the Merge Network came over from the Cake Poker Network and that means that as Merge’s online casino poker traffic increased, Cake showed a significant decline. Also according to Poker Scout, Cake Poker’s traffic is down about 11 percent now that the two site’s have fully joined Merge. Cake though is already a very large gambling network with a decent base of gamblers, which accounts for why the gaming site is doing better than some industry analysts anticipated. Some of the positive side effects for Merge is the fact that rake and daily ring rates have climbed by more than 100 percent. That’s an absolutely huge boost and pulls Merge into a whole new class of online casino poker gambling.

The Merge deal was incredibly significant for the online casino poker industry because it puts the Merge Poker Network on the scene as a real contender in the market unlike it’s really ever been previously. Merge players can now participate in higher stakes poker action and there are far more simultaneous virtual tables open and games of poker occurring.
