For the past few months, we have been in the\ndark about the company\u2019s timelines, but Microgaming has just confirmed that MPN\nwill be closing on May 19, 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe network model no longer fits with our strategic vision\nfor poker, and this is the right time to announce the closure as we focus on\nredistributing key resources and personnel across the business,\u201d read a\nstatement from John Colemon, Microgaming\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microgaming was one of the first companies to launch its own\nonline poker product, and quickly became a leader in the market. However, the\nentry of bigger brands like PokerStars and partypoker pushed MPN to the\nwayside. While MPN has still been successful, things have started to wane. In\nfact, there are many very successful sites that still operate on the network,\nincluding: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>188Bet<\/li><li>32Red<\/li><li>Bets10<\/li><li>BetSafe<\/li><li>Betsson<\/li><li>CoolBet<\/li><li>Grosvenor Poker<\/li><li>NordicBet<\/li><li>OlyBet<\/li><li>One Time Poker<\/li><li>Paf<\/li><li>PCF Poker<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re currently playing poker on any of the above\nsites, you will be switching to a new client over the course of the next few\nmonths. Microgaming has confirmed that all the sites that are currently running\non MPN will be migrating to new software. They have stated that this process\nwill be smooth, so you shouldn\u2019t notice any disruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While MPN will be shutting down, the CEO also confirmed that\nthis won\u2019t be the last that we will be seeing of Microgaming in the poker\nworld. What that means yet, no one knows. However, we\u2019re very excited to see\nwhere Microgaming goes from here. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in September, we got word that Microgaming would be shutting down its poker network.
