Boss Media’s International Poker Network is the largest poker network in Europe and this April it ended with incredible 3 million players. Besides it reported also its 14 % increase in daily active players.
Even though there is an economic crisis, the IPN reports also an increase of 28 % in daily registrations during the past year.

It seems that its growing won’t stop that soon, because Boss Media partnered with CryptoLogic last month and added poker licensees like Extreme Poker, InterPoker, Classic Poker, BetJacks, DTD Poker and many others.

Before Boss Media International Poker Network became a partner of CryptoLogic, it already had a great list of premier poker destinations. Some of them are CelebPoker, Casino Club Poker, Yahoo, Virgin Poker, Poker Heaven, Paradise Poker and BetClick.

Atul Bali, the President of GTECH’s New Media & Sports Betting Co., which is the parent company of Boss Media, commented that this success IPN is having is incredible ad that the milestone is the major one for IPN.
He also added that this is just a first step of achievements they plan to realize.
