Ongame Grows Recreational Poker PlayersBwin-Owned Poker Network Says New Rake Model, Essence, Has Boosted Recreational Players |
|
The Austro-German online poker network, Ongame, yesterday claimed it has grown recreational players on the network by eight percent in the six months since it introduced its new rake model, Essence.
It also said regular players’ net winnings had increased but did not quantify by how much.
Fredrik Kjell, head of poker at Ongame, said, “We always knew Essence was revolutionary as a concept, but it is of course reassuring and great to see that it is working as intended.
“With Essence, we have turned the tide on poker’s aging business model. We now have it black on white that Essence helps create an even healthier ecosystem, in a way that is unique for the entire poker industry.”
Ongame is owned by bwin which will merge with PartyGaming in the next few months.
