Featuring: Boss Media Poker Network

Online gaming software provider Boss Media received a ringing endorsement in April when independent player protection organization eCOGRA granted it accreditation.

Boss Media, which was founded in 1996 by Swede Joe Wikell, became the 18th software provider to receive such accreditation.

Its International Poker Network operates many poker rooms, including Paradise Poker, Poker Kings, InterPoker and Virgin Poker, while Boss Media itself powers online casinos such as Casino Club, Paddy Power Casino and Bwin Casino.

Meanwhile, in the network's latest promotion, it is giving away a €250,000 prize pot to celebrate reaching two billion hands at IPNpoker.com.

The promotion, which began rolling from hand number 1,970,000,000, will be open to all comers right up until that special two billionth hand.

The winner of the two billionth hand will win €25,000, while another €25,000 will be paid out to the rest of the table.
