Last week, members of Doyles Room online poker site received an email declaring the upcoming integration of a new poker network. Doyles Room has been a long time member of the Microgaming Network, but will the change bring back US player acceptance?

Microgaming is currently the leading online gaming software, leaving many members to ask why the online poker room would leave such an enormous association. If you’ve been keeping up with the online poker  news over the last 5 months, you probably came to the same conclusion as millions of other players and analysts.

In September of 2008, the governor of Kentucky sought to seize 141 online gambling domains for providing “illegal online gambling” in the Commonwealth state. Among those 141 domain names was Microgaming.com. The company folded, stating Microgaming casinos and poker rooms would no longer accept US players.

Since then, Doyles Room has been left stewing on the back burner. Most of its members, from long-time players to new sign-ups, came from the US. The only feasible solution would be for Doyles Room to switch to another poker network more accommodating to US online poker players.

An exact date for the integration of the new poker network software at Doyles Room is not known, but is estimated to be on or around the 25th of January.

In addition to the possibility of US player acceptance, there are a few confirmed benefits of the new Poker Network. The email, signed by the legendary Doyle “Tex_Dolly” Brunson himself and sent out to all members of Doyles Room Poker, boasted:

“Get ready for over $5,000,000 in monthly guarantees, multiple daily and nightly guaranteed tournaments, an all new rewards program and the most active network that we’ve ever called home. It’s more of everything you love about DoylesRoom.”
