Asia, the sleeping giant, the largest unsold market on the planet for online poker, begins to wake up.<\/font><\/p>\n

In the last few months, a voice of a network of Asian poker sites with traffic levels scarcely seen in the West, a myriad of skins with generic software, in which neither HUD nor the access to the western ones is allowed, and which covered the needs of alleged millions of customers.<\/font><\/p>\n

IDN Poker’s preferred formats, based in the Philippines, are Texas Hold’em No Limit and Chinese poker. The latter occupies up to 25% of the total traffic of the network. It is mainly nourished by the Chinese, Malay and Indonesian markets. But poker tables are not the main business of this network, which also offers online casino and betting.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
