Merge Site Full Reviews … Carbon Poker, Aced, PlayersOnly, Sportsbook & PDC Poker
Merge Network Overview … The Merge Gaming network has shown considerable growth in the later part of 2010 which several established sites moving network to join Merge (from Cake). This has led to a significant percentage increase in the traffic on the network and most importantly the additional players are equally loose, weak sportbook / casino focus gamblers making the network games remain as juicy and easy to win as always.
The addition of PlayersOnly, Sportsbook and the PlayAces brands isnt the only positive as Merge have quietly continued to add innovative and popular features to their software making it genuinely one of the best available.
Merge has always been a hidden gem and a great network in the making, hopefully it continues to build on the strength of established sites joining them. However there have been a number of weak sites to setup on the network which has IMHO added very little in new players and very definitely is a negative with some of them failing to succeed.
Open to the US with some of the best deposit methods and higher card and processing acceptance rates for US players the network should become bigger and more popular in 2011.
