About the iPoker Network
iPoker is the longest-running multi-skin network in online poker. Playtech licenses the platform to local operators, who brand it under their own names and share liquidity with most of the network. The model favors regulated markets and recreational-facing brands over high-stakes grinder culture. Rake is uniform across skins; what differs is geography, bonus terms, and rakeback deals.
Best suited to European players who value regulated operators, familiar payment methods, and softer games than the GGNetwork or WPN pools. Not available to US players.

Historically split into iPoker1 and iPoker2 pools based on operator size. The split has blurred in recent years as liquidity consolidated, but regional ring-fences remain: Swedish, Swiss, and Ukrainian skins play segregated pools to comply with local licensing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many rooms are on the iPoker network?
Around twenty skins operate on iPoker in 2026, most sharing a liquidity pool with a few ring-fenced for local licensing. PrimeDope covers the four with the strongest rakeback positioning: Bet365, Betsson, NordicBet, and RedStar.
Is iPoker available to US players?
No. iPoker operators hold European licenses and do not accept US-based players. US players looking for a comparably-sized regulated European alternative should see our GGNetwork hub, which accepts US traffic via its PaiWangLuo-linked skins.
Do all iPoker skins have the same rake?
Yes. Rake is a network-level property on iPoker: every skin pulls from the same rate table (5% cash games, capped by stake). What differs between skins is the rakeback deal you negotiate with the affiliate. The PrimeDope rakeback column reflects the rate we've confirmed, not the network's baseline.
What is the iPoker1 / iPoker2 split?
iPoker historically separated its player pool by operator tier. Larger skins with more traffic played on iPoker2; smaller skins on iPoker1. Pools could not see each other's tables. The hard split has eroded as skins have consolidated, but regional ring-fences continue to segregate Swedish, Swiss, and Ukrainian players.
Is William Hill on iPoker?
William Hill operates a poker product on iPoker but is not covered by PrimeDope. For UK players, we recommend Bet365 as the primary iPoker alternative.
