Blonde Poker Kicked off iPoker Network due to “Winning Players”

Blonde Poker, one of Europe’s most popular poker forums and websites, has been given written notice by iPoker to leave their network. The skin, which has one of the smaller player groups on iPoker, has been given three months to leave the network by iPoker.

Tony “Tikay” Kendall was damning of the decision by iPoker chiefs. Tikay, one of the founder members and shareholders of the website, said; “On Friday, BlondePoker Web Ltd received in writing 3 months notice of Termination of our Contract with Aqua/i-poker. The document was a complex one – 15 pages long, full of equations & algorithms, but the gist of it was that, on aggregate, the blonde players are winning players.”

He went on; “They went on to explain, & demonstrate, that, as an example, once the new arrangements come into place, our performance in October would have resulted in a fine in the region of $30,000, based on how much our players won. The Net Rake which accrued to blonde was about $7,000 I think, so we’d be on a net loss of some $20,000+. Because our players were winning.”

Where this leaves Blonde Poker now is unclear. The recession has certainly hit the British poker market and many are arguing that due to over-saturation of online poker rooms in the UK it is difficult for many businesses to get a foothold in the poker industry.
