Two more online poker sites have joined the Microgaming Poker Network according to an announcement by online gaming software provider Microgaming: Asian-facing Mansion88.com and Malta-based 5050Poker.com.

5050Poker management decided to join the network in direct response to demands from players seeking greater player liquidity, on a site that would grow.

Chief executive Mattias Eriksson said, "Our players wanted the chance to play against a truly global opposition on a platform that offered improved game and tournament selection as well as greater liquidity.

"We listened to and acted on their demands and set about investigating a move to a software partner that would enable us to realise our ambitions for growth. Having thoroughly considered all available options, Microgaming was undoubtedly the best fit and we are convinced that operating within its Poker Network will prove a positive move for our player base."

Mansion88 is an Asian-facing gaming site licensed in the Philippines, which is a subsidiary of Gibraltar-based Mansion Poker. Their new online poker operation adds to an already impressive raft of quality gaming entertainment services.

The company's Director of Poker commented, "Microgaming's excellent customer support and local presence made the decision to appoint them as our software provider very easy. By working together, I believe we can continue to raise our profile within the rapidly growing Asian markets; we look forward to a long and successful partnership."

Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming welcomed the new operators to the network, saying: "Our ability to provide poker in more languages than any other network is crucial in helping our operators grow, and our partnership will enable both operators to cement their position as leading brands within their respective markets."

PokerScout currently ranks Microgaming Poker Network as the fifth largest poker network, behind Playtech's iPoker Network, PartyGaming's PartyPoker, bwin's Ongame Network, and Ultimate Bet/Absolute's Cereus Network.
