Both clients of Everest Poker (the global, licensed in Malta and the French one, licensed by ARJEL) lost 30-40% traffic during the last 6 months according to PokerScout. Even though the .fr client held its 3rd place on the regulated French market, the .com client fell behind.
This might be behind the decision Everest Poker has made recently, namely they are joining the biggest poker network, iPoker. This will affect Everest Poker players in many ways including the ability to play at much more tables, and the iPoker Speed Holdem fast-fold game will also be available to them.
As we reported, iPoker will separate into two different netwoks from September following a network segregation policy; it is not yet known whether Everest Poker will join the primary or the secondary network. It is rumored that around 5 or 6 poker rooms will be on the 'iPoker2' network. The exact date of the separation is not public yet, but Roei Gavish, Head of Poker at Playtech already confirmed the news:
"We are very happy to welcome Betclic-Everest into our dot.com and dot.fr networks. We are confident they will be in great synergy with the upcoming recreational structure. It’s a win-win merge which will secure iPoker’s dominance in the B2B market."
