launches in France, it is clear
that iPoker.fr is becoming the network of choice among operators in
the region that would like to enjoy not only a best of breed, fully
compliant offering but also the largest networked liquidity pool in
France. We are confident that
Unibet will also see great success for their poker business in the
French market, enjoying the benefits of the liquidity pool as well
