We regret to inform you that on 28th February 2010 Hansa Poker will be closing its doors on the Playtech (iPoker) Network.

You will not be able to access your account in order to cash out or even the tables to play poker after the mentioned date.

Hansa Poker took this step as the climate in the poker industry is such that they have deemed it to be more prudent to use all of their resources to promote thier casino products rather than attempting to compete with poker rooms who have more resources. Thier casinos are growing rapidly while the same can not be said for the poker room.

Due to the pending enforcement of the gambling law implemented in France, the Ongame Network is no longer able to allow the registration of new French players. In the coming weeks Ongame will also be blocking all current French players from the network.
Once Ongame does shut off French players, the following can be expected:
- Real money players will be blocked (as in China and Turkey)
- Any tournament tickets held by players will be expired
- Any running bonuses will expire
- Real money withdrawal will not be blocked and players will be notified to remove funds from their poker accounts.
- Access to play money games will not be blocked.

PokerTime, has removed the USD10 free opening offer and in its place they have their easiest opening bonus ever. It is awarded in USD5 bonuses for every 5 poker points earned and there are no wagering requirements to withdraw the bonus.

The World's newest Poker software, Poker 5, was released with high anticipation across the Ongame Network in mid June. Understandably, change can be hard for some deeply rooted, loyal P4 players. The new P5 poker software engine includes all the anticipated upgrades you were looking for, such as: resizable tables, picking seats from the lobby, tournament information lobby, and new Sit and Go queues. Best of all, the P5 software has been designed to be in a constant state of upgrade; meaning new features and updates will come as quickly as Ongame can send them down the pipe.

You can enjoy these exciting new features and functions:
1. Cash game preview with direct seating
- Preview tables from the Lobby.
- Conveniently browse the tables of your choice.
- Select your seat and join the game directly.

2. New tournament lobby
- View and gather 'up to the minute' tournament information.
- Check prize structures, ranking lists, add-on and re-buy details, blind levels.
- Enjoy real-time table...
