Merge move for fantasy poker.

By RP, January 25, 2010

The online poker site Fantasy Poker.com has informed its players that it is moving to the US-friendly Merge Poker Network and will require up to 2 weeks to complete the integration, starting January 31st.

Poker Fantasy gave no reasons for its move to the Kahnawake-licensed Merge network, but advised players that its 24/7 Support would remain active to render any assistance players may require. The site hopes to be up and running again on the Merge sometime around mid-February.

Fantasy Poker members who decide to withdraw their credit balances prior to the move will be given every assistance to do so through to the end of January. After that, all accounts and balances will automatically be migrated to the Merge system, which Pokerscout reports can attract up to 400 cash game players on an average day.
