The International Poker Network, or IPN for short, is one of the industry’s largest and most respected online poker networks. It is home to dozens of international poker sites and tens of thousands of regular players from around the world.

One of the key recognitions for the International Poker Network is its incredibly loose player base. The soft competition is invariably present at all hours of the day and night, covering most limits and stakes on the virtual felt.

The International Poker Network was not officially established until 2005 – at least not under that name. It all started back in 1996 when Boss Media opened its first online casino, Gold Club Casino. The software impressed upon so many other operators that Boss started getting offers to integrate its platform on other sites.

The company changed its focus to develop third party software exclusively. In 2002, the group ventured into the online poker market, and it took over a year to get noticed, but once they did, the exponential growth rate was staggering. To further brand itself as a top provider of online poker networking software, the company took on the trademark International Poker Network (IPN), and a new era was birthed.

The International Poker Network has risen to phenomenal heights, supplying what is considered by many to be the most sophisticated poker platform in the business. IPN is a largely European-facing poker network, deriving most of its traffic from these regions. The software is supplied in multi-lingual formats that include English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and more.
