CryptoLogic Poker Rooms to Move to Boss Media

Date: January 20, 2009

CryptoLogic has announced that all poker rooms on its network will move to Boss Media by the end of March. According to Justin Thouin, President of Product Development told PokerNewsDaily.com, “If you look at the online gaming industry, it’s becoming more difficult to be a generalist. The companies that are succeeding now and will succeed in the future are those who can specialize. We saw an opportunity to differentiate ourselves in the online casino space.”

The move was made by CryptoLogic in an attempt to increase profits. They are shooting for profits between $9 and $10 for this year. The move of the network is also geared to reduce company expenses for both office space rental and server rental.

Playboy Poker had recently announced that they would be ceasing operations soon and both Sun Poker and Poker Plex had announced moves to other networks. When asked about the future of online gaming, he stated “You’ll see more specialization. This is still a very attractive industry. Online gaming is still growing quickly. You’ll see it become a much more competitive space. Partnerships will form in ways there haven’t been before.”

While the larger sites such as PokerStars and Full Tilt continue to thrive, the smaller networks are still struggling to survive. Many in the United States are hoping that the UIGEA will get overturned and revitalize the industry.
