Microgaming Signed 3 New Licenses to Poker Network

Microgaming has signed up three new licenses to their Microgaming Poker Network.  The new licenses in the Migrogaming netwook are bookmakers JenningsBet, Sunderlands and Eurofootball, all three are expected to be going live within the next few weeks.  JenningsBet and Sunderlands are both licensed by Malta and are two of the most established bookmakers in the United Kingdom.

JenningsBet is the online branch of the UK bookmaker Jennings which was founded in 1961 when off course betting was first made legal by the British government.  The company has grown quite a lot since then and now has over 70 licensed offices through out Southern England, Jersey and the Isle of Man.

Sunderlands was established in 1946 and has been providing betting services to UK punters ever since.  Eurofootball is a lot newer then the other two bookmakers having been established in 1990 but they still have over 20 years of experience in the industry.  They accept bets on football matched in seven shops around Sofia.  They are now one of Bulgaria's largest bookmakers with over 800 shops and twelve casinos.

Microgaming's CEO Roger Raatgever says, “We are delighted to be announcing three new additions to our popular Poker Network, following a period of extremely positive feedback regarding our latest poker software upgrade. All three operations are extremely well respected in their markets, with solid heritages in either betting shops or online and telephone sports betting. We look forward to long and successful partnerships with all three.”
