Tribeca Announcement

[caguma]

Dang...I don't play on Tribecca much, but I have been playing a lot on Tain recently, I hope they let us keep our accounts after the merger, however unlikely that may be.

I would love to have this clarified.... Maybe those two skins share the same players, but still not all of the tribeca tables?

There's only one network running on Tribeca software. You can download rooms and confirm that if you feel the need to. Anyone who says there are multiple networks on Tribeca is using the word incorrectly. I'd call DBPN a master licensee, with various sublicensees.

No major poker software company runs multiple networks, except for Microgaming, which runs Microgaming Poker Network and Ladbrokes.

Alright, explain this to me. The source is here..

Tribeca to Pull Out of US Market 11/10/2006 04:05 PM
It has been confirmed that Tribeca Tables Poker Network will no longer be accepting Players from the US. No date has thus far been given for when this will go into effect. PokerRoomReview has received information from a source in the upper echelon at DoylesRoom.com, who confirmed this information as well as stating Doyles Room will remain open to US players, with the exception of the previously reported exclusions for those residing in Louisiana and Washington. We will provide an official statement as soon as it becomes available.

How will Doyle's Room operate without tribeca? Will other skins be joining DR?

It appears that Tribeca will give Doyle's Room some time to find another Network... "No date has thus far been given for when this will go into effect."

The official announcement on the Tribeca site included the following statement... "Players do not need to worry as the transition will take several months to implement."

I think you may have this backwards [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

How will Tribeca operate without:

1. Doyles Room (including many non-U.S players).

2. Many other skins that want to keep their U.S. customers likely including virutally all of the DBPN subnetwork. Again many non-U.S. players will be swept along.

3. All the U.S. players on the rest of the network.

4. Many non-U.S. players who switch to Doyles Room (or another "U.S." skin) because they want to play with the Americans for various reasons.

Essentially Tribeca stands to lose all of their U.S. players and many of their non-U.S. players too. That's potentially far worse than anything that has happened to any of the other networks or rooms that have pulled out.

In a few months we could look around and see that "Tribeca" is the new Tain and Doyles Room and its allies are the new Tribeca.

As for the real Tain, most of those rooms are already non-U.S. Their discomfort may be one of the drivers of this pullout. It's likely that Eurolinx and a couple others will throw in with Doyle and the rest will happily join the cleansed Tribeca network.

Playtech announce acquisition of Tribeca network.

http://www.playtech.com/html/main.ph...=41&id=110

'Following Tribeca's decision to block certain territories, including the US, the entire Tribeca network will cease its operations in six months from the date of the agreement, by which time the migration of the online poker operators to Playtech's platform is planned to be complete.'

So tain and Tribeca all merge in with playtech, is going to be a pretty big network? Will it be bigger than party is now?

A shame VC was where I started out and have been running off a bonus there, tables seem pretty soft.

yes, they'll be big - #4. this is assuming there is not a lot of overlap between their existing player bases, and they don't lose a lot a lot of players in the 2 upcoming conversion. They will still be behind Party, so I don't see how they can make the claim of being the "#1 Non-US poker network". that reminds me of Absolute Poker claiming they were in the top 5.

And I guess Doyles room will have to find a new home, makes the weekends developments fit into place now.
