888 Poker will take advantage of the agreement between Nevada and Delaware to share online poker player pools. The network will be known as the All-America Poker Network.
Delaware and Nevada agreed to share players in February, but no launch date for the move has been announced.
888 provides all of Delaware’s online poker and its software is also used by WSOP in Nevada. The company plans to launch its own site in Nevada as well.
“We are aiming to deploy a shared poker network across the two states which will offer poker players in each state an enhanced customer experience,” 888 said in an investor statement. “We remain fully committed to the US market through our B2B business as well as through our interest in the AAPN joint venture.”
Meanwhile, Delaware’s online revenue has been fluctuating wildly.
For July, online poker revenue brought in $31,397, up from $25,607 in June. However, June saw a drop of more than 55 percent from the $57,468 collected in May.
Including casino games, total revenue was listed at $173,096 for July, down from $187,332 in June.
Also, 888 Holdings announced that CEO Brian Mattingley will step down next year and become chairman of the company as part of a management reshuffle. 888 will promote current COO Itai Frieberger to CEO in January 2015.
