The online poker world is experiencing unprecedented growth online, offline and out-of-line, this despite a number of countries still refusing to buy in to the border-less game.

One particular poker group, the iPoker network, indeed has recent to celebrate. The highly popular online poker dealer recently edged-out its major rivals, PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and PartyPoker , for the top-spot in the online poker world. Pokerstars led the pack at the outset of the new year, but appears to have lost its groove.

Gaming industry analysts attribute this not so much to any losses experienced by the three former leaders. On the contrary, iPoker's success is due to the network's power-packed line up of poker rooms. The group's brands include such names as Titan Poker , Bet365, Paddy Poker, and Poker Ocean , just to plug a few.

iPoker card rooms run on Playtech software, an undisputed leading developer. The network offers a number of exciting poker games including Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and 7-Card Stud.

According to iPoker's website, poker players of all levels will find the table or tournament they are looking for. Over $10 million are awarded each month for guaranteed prize pools. Satellites to major land-based tournaments are also regular happenings.

Also available are exclusive progressive jackpots for consecutive wins of jackpot sit ‘n' go tournaments, enabling players to cash in on multi thousands of dollars.

In their ongoing crusade to ensure absolute fair-gaming practices, iPoker also employs tested and proven collusion tools for ensuring that no foul play is performed at any of the tables associated with the network.
