The newly launched Revolution Gaming Network is stirring up existing poker rooms that still allow US players by offering 36% rakeback that is paid out hourly and much larger than standard sign up bonuses for new players with a massive new Lock Poker sign up bonus of 200% up to $4000.

The promotions being run by Revolution Gaming are making their main rivals in Bovada and Merge gaming (Carbon Poker) look a bit dated. Merge have recently adopted a rake back plan for their players in response to Revolution Gaming’s new promotions in order to try to please their remaining players after Lock Poker departed from the Merge network.

Lock Poker was formerly one of the major brands on the Merge Gaming Network; they recently left the network then went on to buy out the Cake Poker Network and subsequently launched it as Revolution Gaming.

The re-branded network has given Revolution gaming (former Cake Poker network) a boost to 13^th place according to PokerScout having already surpassed Bovada (14^th) in terms of traffic.

The new Revolution Network still has some way to go in order to catch up with Merge Gaming who currently occupies the 8^th spot in terms of global traffic which is the first place for USA facing poker sites.

In what seems to be a silly joke and somewhat of a rumor, PokerStars have bought FullTilt Poker after reaching an agreement with the DOJ following Laurent Tapie’s failed bid at taking over FullTilt Poker.

While it certainly seems that PokerStars have bought Full Tilt Poker it is not yet 100% confirmed as of writing, in the alleged legal agreement reached between PokerStars and the purchase of Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars have agreed to a $750M fee which includes the settlement with the DOJ and player balances worldwide.

The GBT deal is very definitely a no go as can be seen on iGamingFrance and EGR where they have confirmed that without a doubt the FullTilt buyout deal is off.
PokerStars may have just done the right thing by buying FullTilt Poker if indeed the news turns out to be true which I’m guessing it is. It is also being reported that PokerStars will continue to run Full Tilt Poker as a stand-alone brand.
