If you haven’t heard the news yet, Purple Lounge has moved their online poker site from the Microgaming Network to the Entraction Network, joining sites such as NoiQ Poker, 24hPoker and Betsson Poker. This is an interesting move, as Entraction is somewhat smaller than Microgaming, however by virtue of the cross-over of Purple Lounge’s clients (assuming they all migrate) they could very easily change places.
For current Purple Lounge players who had a funded account prior to January 16, 2012 (the official date of their move), you will receive an offer of a Stay And Play Reload Bonus of up to €1,000. Simply transfer 75% or more of your funds to the new Purple Lounge software on Entraction and move your funds to the poker client (you also have the choice to move it to the casino). That’s it. You will receive a bonus equal to 200% of your first poker transfer up to a maximum of €1,000 which never expires unless you withdraw below the initial transfer amount. For new players, a first-time deposit sign-up poker bonus of 100% up to €300 is available. Bonus terms are the same: €1 is released for every 20 VIP points earned. On Entraction, 2 VIP points are accumulated for every €1 of contributed rake or fees.
Check out all the details as we receive them on our site review page: Purple Lounge Review and to sign up for either offer just follow our updated links. Please note that you will need to click on the “migrated to Entraction Network” link once you get to the Purple Lounge site in order to access the new poker client for the time being, until Purple Lounge has refreshed all their online materials. In the meantime, the new Entraction poker software is up and running without incident.
Of note, Purple Lounge (due to Entraction’s rules) will no longer be accepting players from Canada, Russia or Estonia, though any owing funds will be refunded at no cost.
