Online Poker Finds New Home After Tribeca Pull-Out

Poker Host has announced that it plans to depart Tribeca for the growing Microgaming Poker Network, which services over 40 online sites and accepts players in all but 11 of the US states.

A spokesman stated that the move will take place in the near future: "We at Poker Host will still be accepting US players and therefore we will move to a new network, Prima Poker/ Microgaming. However, in the meantime the following states are banned from playing poker at Prima:

Michigan
Illinois
Indiana
Louisiana
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
South Dakota
Oregon
Wisconsin
Washington

The Tribeca announcement places sites still operating in the USA on the network under increased pressure: they must either join other networks that still accept US players or develop a new network.
