The CEO of Microgaming, Roger Raatgever, says, “It’s not enough for a network to just offer buy-ins to the best land-based tournaments in the world, which is why all our operators’ players are personally looked after by our dedicated Microgaming event team.

This is just another of the many reasons why more and more operators choose to move to our network every month. We wish all our players the best of luck in their upcoming tournaments.”
