Friday July 07, 2006

Microgaming has announced that Betway.com has joined the Microgaming Poker Network. Betway.com is Europe's first simultaneously launched Betway Casino, Betway Poker and Betway Sportsbook betting site.

When we looked at the industry and had to select a partner for our poker, the choice was easy. The main focus was stability, product range and security, which is why our attention was quickly directed at one place, Microgaming. The services provided from Microgaming are among the highest in the industry, and their product updates and innovative solutions, fully live up to the standards we require from a full service provider. We are proud to launch our poker software based on a Microgaming solution, and together introducing one of the world?s best poker clients available? Per-Ivan Selinder, CEO Betway.com

Betway.com is available in eleven languages and offers a wide variety of poker games. While playing poker, users will have access to casino games including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps, slots and many more. Currently, the site is offering 100% bonus match up to $100 and running daily $20,000 tournaments. Also available are some of the most coveted satellites on the Internet, including an event that will earn at least one lucky winner a seat into every possible event at the World Series of Poker.

? Instant liquidity via one of the largest pools of online players, enabling 24-hour action
