When it was announced that both SportsBook Poker and PlayersOnly Poker were leaving the Cake Poker Network to join the MergeGaming Network, things looked pretty bleak for Cake.  However, things haven’t dropped off a bit at Cake Poker as evidenced by the fact that they are opening four new online poker rooms.  One might even say their incredible 33% rakeback deals are they main reason why Cake Poker can lose two huge rooms and still be doing great.

Party Poker, which offers one of the best rakeback deals in the world at 40%, has been out of the American online poker market ever since the United States signed the UIGEA into effect in 2006.  However, this four-year hiatus from the US Internet poker market could be over since Party Gaming CEO Jim Ryan made some encouraging statements recently about a potential return.  Ryan believes that the United States is serious about overturning the UIGEA because the game actually involves lots of poker strategy and skill when compared to other forms of gambling.  He spoke on the matter by …

The Poker Players Alliance, which is the biggest lobbying organization for online poker, recently unveiled a new iPhone application that costs just $0.99.  Unlike many other poker-related iPhone programs, the application offered by the PPA has nothing to do with playing poker games or teaching people poker strategy.  Instead, this iPhone program was created with the intention of promoting internet poker worldwide, and convincing governments in countries such as the United States to pass favorable poker laws. Some features of the PPA’s new iPhone app is that it alerts players about starting times for various poker tournaments, delivers messages from …
