Internet casino operator B3W group has officially named its new poker network the Poker Pack Network.
The poker network first launched back in August under flagship brand Yachting Poker. Since then, three new brands have been added: Black Stack Poker, B4 Poker and The Poker Barrel.
The move marks the groups first foray in to online poker. The brand is known for its small group of online casinos, including Casino Broceliande, Bet In Paris and Yachting Casino, and has been in operation since 1998.
The new poker software supports Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Stud games, with hi/lo variants, at cash tables and tournaments. Players on all skins are offered a set 30% rakeback. Play from the US is not permitted.
According to poker network tracking site PokerScout, who has been diligently publishing self-reported data since December, the network suffered some ten days of downtime at the end of December. Since it came back online, it has seen a small but regular group of players on the network, with peak numbers around 30 or 40, enough to earn itself the 42nd spot on its Global Network Rankings behind mobile upstart Switch Poker.
For those keeping tabs on the minor networks, there’s been a flurry of new names: Entraction is now IGT Poker Network, Yatahay rebranded to Winning Poker Network and Action Poker is now Chico Poker.
