Cereus
The Cereus Poker Network is one of the larger online poker networks in the business, which may seem surprising when you consider that it is made up of so few online poker sites. It is the overall popularity of those poker sites, and the incredibly sophisticated software platforms engineering them, that have produced such a flourishing network.

Owned by Tokwiro Enterprises and licensed in the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory of Canada, Cereus Poker was devised from the ground floor up. Upon completion of the platform, the online poker network announced its launch for July of 2008, but a legal battle delayed the launch date to November 25th of the same year.

One f the most unique aspects of poker sites on the Cereus Network is that they are not simply mirror sites of one another with distinctive branding. The software platforms are wholly inimitable, each with their own special features, functions and customization capabilities. Even the game variety differs among Cereus Poker Network sites.

The shared aspect brings together bad beat jackpots and universal tournaments, resulting in higher traffic, more participants and bigger payouts.

The implementation of state of the art security measures and collusion prevention was a major incentive for players on the Cereus Network. There have been absolutely no reports of disreputable engagements since the Cereus Network was formed.

Designed to provide players with a fast, multi-functional experience, the Cereus Poker Network rocketed onto the scene in late 2008 and has continued carving a scorching path of success across the online poker atmosphere of cyberspace ever since.
