Asian online betting giant SBOBET has launched a poker site on gaming solution provider Microgaming’s poker product MPN.

Just a couple months after announcing the addition of Georgian operator Adjarabet, MPN (formerly Microgaming Poker Network) announced that the Isle of Man- and Philippines-licensed SBOBET had gone live on the network.

SBOBET joins Betsson, BetVictor, Betway, Paf, Stan James and 32Red on MPN, although the SBOBETpoker.com offering is currently only available in Indonesia and Malaysia (the English-language home page still shows a ‘coming soon’ notice). SBOBET is also the seventh operator to launch the MPN’s HTML5-based mobile poker product.

Microgaming’s head of poker Alex Scott said his firm was “thrilled to be adding such a well-known name to the MPN.” Scott said the signing of such a “huge operator” as SBOBET was a reflection of all the hard work the company has done to beef up the MPN brand over the past year, including the launch of the new MPN Poker Tour.
