The seven companies — BetPro.it, bwin (which owns Ongame), Casino di Venezia, Fast Poker, Gioco Digitale (which bwin bought last year), Gmatica and SportingBet.it – moved onto the P5 Poker Engine on February 23 and Ongame says it launched with five million players.

Martin Lerby, head of Ongame Network, said, “The adaptability of the P5 Poker Engine to power both regional and global networks is showcased by Ongame Network Italy and we continue to work closely with the Italian authorities as we prepare for the anticipated introduction of cash games."

Ladbrokes and Microgaming also launched an online poker network in Italy this week.
