Microgaming Poker Network has formed the Network Management Board, a body which controls the development and operational running of the Microgaming Poker Network, which is now the industry's first true sportsbook poker network.
The Network Management Board comprises of a single representative from the primary operators on the Microgaming Poker Network, a representative from Microgaming’s network games team and a chairman, sourced from within the industry. In addition, industry experts will consult to the NMB on ecology, player perspective and long-term revenue potential of projects.
Operators and Microgaming will share votes on key decisions, with proportional shares determined by a formula agreed by the voting members of the NMB. The NMB members will additionally determine the criteria for membership to the NMB. The chairman and industry experts will be non-voting members.
The formation of the NMB is one part of the project to change the Microgaming Poker Network to what is referred to as a sportsbook poker network, in which all members contribute towards the success of each other and to the network as a whole. The first meeting of the NMB will take place in early November.
