January 21, 2008 (London, UK) — The CakePoker Network has added MarathonBet.com to its roster – and wants you to help them celebrate in London this week! Marathon is one of the largest sports betting operations in Eastern Europe and CIS countries and will be a formidable partner for the CakePoker Network. Marathon continues to expand its online business under MarathonBet.com and is launching an online poker room as part of their plans to offer new services to their users. Support and security will be initially provided by Red Star Poker which boasts an established and experienced poker team. This new combination means the CakePoker Network is truly global in scope.
Marathon is the latest partner to join the CakePoker Network, with another major sportsbook partner announcement to follow soon. The new arrivals have joined a winning network! The CakePoker Network enjoyed exceptional growth in 2007, with the average monthly rake going up by more than 15% every month. Peak concurrent player growth was more than 370% year-over-year, with the numbers indicating that this outstanding trend is likely to continue in 2008.
As a result of such stunning success, Cake can afford to be selective about the partners that join their network. The company’s focus is quality over quantity so they take great care over who gets involved and stress the health of the whole network is the key that allows all the members to be so successful.
The CakePoker Network team feels strongly that ‘partnership’ is more than just a word – it is the way they do business. The team provides turnkey solutions and individually-tailored solutions to meet the needs of partners and so far it’s proven to be an excellent way of doing business.
Among the partners who have joined the CakePoker Network are sportsbook.com, PlayersOnly.com, betus.com and redstarpoker.com. It’s absolutely clear – if you want to own a piece of the action on the CakePoker Network you have to get in now or risk being left behind!
