To the delight of many poker players, the iPoker Network is about to get a brand new client featuring a much sleeker design. This network has historically been one of the most popular places to play poker and was once ranked in cash game traffic according to PokerScout as high as second place. Poker skins on the network include some of the biggest names in the online gaming industry like Betfair, Titan Poker, Ladbrokes, William Hill, and bet365.
The software has been in development for over six months and we can finally get our firs look at it now that it has been rolled out to bet365 on a test basis. We are definitely impressed so far with what we see. The entire lobby is completely redesigned and has more of a Windows look and feel to it. In other words, instead of there being tabs to select what you are looking for, there are instead tiles to help players decide which games to play. Simply clicking on any tile will automatically bring you to the best game in the category selected.

i fcuk the lobby as along as i my crappy old pc can handle it. fcuk the aesthetics, speediness and low system resources necessary is what makes the winning software in my humble opinion. think of some rather unheard pokerstars version 6... best software of the decade for me.

Wonder if that will help them increase their player numbers. They are not doing quite good in this section, with all the "big" names they have in their network.
Lets hope they will manage to draw some more players in, to keep the competition alive.

I agree with pochui, PS6 was the best version out there, software wise, overall smoothness, easy on your PC if u have an old wooden PC, this 7 version just takes much of the ram on my PC and i fucking hate that, same reason i uninstalled google chrome, that biatch eats ram like there's no tomorrow, i searched for this ipoker thingy, could not find a damn thing, so i cant say anything for the software they plan on using, but i can say with 80% guarantee, that it would look a lot like PS for sure

Well, it's all in the interest of the never ending search for improvement of customer experience..... And of course to keep the sites in the news so that they get gratis advertising and maybe attract more people for whom they can deliver a fantastic user experience, and of course keep developing a better system.
