GTECH G2 says relationship secure with Sportingbet

(PRESS RELEASE) -- International Poker Network operator GTECH G2 has denied reports that Sportingbet plc is to leave the network to join Ongame.

Ongame announced this morning that Sportingbet will join its global poker network in the second half of this year. When asked by Gaming Intelligence whether the move applied to all ParadisePoker operations, a spokesperson for Ongame implied this to be the case, with the exception of grey markets which the spokesperson said would presumably continue to be served by Entraction.

However, Ongame is in fact launching a second skin for Sportingbet, which continues to be part of the IPN.

GTECH G2 confirmed this afternoon to Gaming Intelligence that it continues to serve as the poker provider for Paradise Poker.

William Scott, Vice President GTECH G2, said: “Sportingbet is and continues to be a valued client of GTECH G2 and the IPN. We will continue to work with them and all the members of the IPN to provide the ultimate poker experience for players. GTECH G2 is leading provider to regulated gaming markets.”
