The Microgaming Poker Network has announced it is ceding control of the network to the operators on the network via the formation of new management board.

The Network Management Board, which will consist of one representative from each of the operators, will control the development and operational running of the network. Industry experts will be consulted on areas such as player perspective and ecology.

The company said, “The formation of the NMB is one part of the project to change the Microgaming Poker Network to what is referred to as a Sportsbook Poker Network, in which all members contribute towards the success of each other and to the network as a whole. The first meeting of the NMB will take place in early November.

Lydia Melton, head of network games at the network, said, “Poker is a difficult industry to be in, and that difficulty is heightened when operators are not in control of their own destinies. By establishing the Network Management Board, we are essentially ceding control of the Microgaming Poker Network to the primary operators on the Network.”
