Ongame Network strengthens presence in Denmark through deal with Scandic Bookmakers

Ongame Network today announced the addition of Scandic Bookmakers to their poker network. The Danish sportsbook, which previously offered poker games through the Tain Network, has already migrated its player base, and went live on the Ongame Network on 29 January this year

According to Claus Rasmussen, Director of Scandic Bookmakers, the company is more than pleased to join a poker network with particularly good player liquidity, a strong EU presence, and a diverse poker platform. “By switching to Ongame Network, we can now offer our customers a world class poker product,” he explains. “Both Scandic Bookmakers and Ongame Network have high expectations of each other, but the true winners in this switch are undoubtedly our many loyal customers.”

As a member of Ongame Network, Scandic Bookmakers will offer players the entire range of Ongame Network cash games, as well as access to unique tournament formats and over $ 800,000 per week in guaranteed prize pools to Windows, MAC and Linux users.

“We are delighted to welcome Scandic Bookmakers to our network,” enthuses Martin Lerby, Head of Ongame Network. “This deal will fuel our European player liquidity even further, whilst at the same time reinforcing our presence in Denmark.”
