iPoker Confirms Network Split from September 1

A change in the policy of the iPoker Network will result in the separation of the 2nd largest player pool in the scene into two separate player pools. The new rules will come into affect on July 1, and all operators will be evaluated and graded new monthly performance indicators. The separation of the pools based on this process will begin on September 1.

The rooms will be graded on specific criteria such as active players, new player acquisitions and a "scoring metric" related to account balances. Then they will be split in two tiers. Only higher tier poker rooms will have access to the main liquidity pool. Lower tower rooms will only have access to some kind of sub-network.

It seems that the split was driven by several of the larger poker rooms on the network. These rooms complained that they contribute more than other rooms to the network’s liquidity and supply of casual players. Some poker rooms who fear being limited to this sub-network have voiced concerns that this secondary pool will be unappealing to players and perish.

Officialy, the intention of these changes is to extend players' life time expectancy on the network and extend the deposit over spend period for players.

how does this effect william hill yo? hope it is top tier

william hill will certainly be rated as top tier. its one of their most important skins

gahhh wtf

was wondering how these poker networks would take care of these leecher skins

I'm wondering if this mean bankroll cashout.

You give them a little more time, they will be full of bots again.

That network is complete crap.

Fk, I play in Boylepoker from Boylesports and have a significant bankroll there, if they were downgraded to low tier network would there be a problem in doing my cashout?
