Online poker site finds a new home after Tribeca pull-out

In earlier bulletins InfoPowa reported on the imminent US pull-out of the Tribeca Tables network, which was acquired by turnkey provider Playtech last year. The withdrawal has placed several of the network's sites, including Doyle's Room, Golden Palace, Straightflush and Poker Host on notice that their US days, at least with Tribeca, are numbered.

Poker Host has announced that it plans to depart Tribeca for the growing Microgaming Poker Network, which services over 40 online sites and accepts players in all but 11 of the US states.

A spokesman for the site revealed that the move would take place in the near future, saying: "We at Poker Host will still be accepting US players and therefore we will move to a new network, Prima Poker/ Microgaming. However the following states are banned for playing poker at Prima:

Michigan
Illinois
Louisiana
Oregon
Wisconsin
Washington
Indiana
Nevada
South Dakota
New York
New Jersey"

The Tribeca announcement has placed sites still operating in the USA on the network under increased pressure to either develop a new network or join other networks that still accept US players.
