INTERNATIONAL POKER NETWORK

The International Poker Network (IPN) more commonly referred to as 'Boss Media' has gone through some major changes over the years. The software company Boss Media was one of the major online casino software providers between 2001 & 2003.

Since then more Boss Media casinos have closed down than new have opened.

IPN started off with many casino licensees and SportingBet. Later on the network was joined by poker operators as the network grew in size and demand.

Online poker has never been the main source of income for Boss Media which is why it has never seemed to be the focus of the company.

Despite Boss Media has been  busy developing and improving other aspects of the business IPN took off in the years after the poker boom and grew very big in 2008 - 2010. 

Boss Media introduced a win-ratio fine formula to protect mainly Sportingbet's interest. The formula was introduced to fine poker rooms which players had a too high win ratio compared to the rake generated. The fines are severe and can cost an entire months profit.

30% rakeback is allowed by IPN however it is not hard to get an 'under the table' deal on this network as many poker roms offer extra rakeback and unlimited bonuses increasing the total value to 50%+
