In the online poker world there was hardly anything to be happy about since the Black Friday. But if rumors are to be believed then this is going to change as a website which was the main victim of the UIGEA will be active again shortly. PokerRoom.com had to pullout of USA was having really bad revenues from the business which resulted in the discontinuation of poker online to its players. However, it looks they may be back soon.

This story was first reported by Pokerfuse a couple of weeks ago when the tweet by one of Bwin Poker’s SEO manager came out stating that soon the website will start working. But when there were frequent queries both from online poker media and the players, the person pulled back his claim and clarified that they might have overreacted to a minor website update.

PokerNewsBoy’s James Guill after getting in touch with his sources at Bwin reported that they are planning on the reopening of the website as hinted by their tweet but nothing more was confirmed. Mr Guill who has been following up the story when it was first reported by Pokerfuse informed on the information received from the sources about the updating of the website. They thought the updating of the website was overdue, but this doesn’t seems to be a strong reason.

While Bwin confirmed nothing about PokerRoom news officially but all the rumors which are going on are giving hint that they are up to something. The previous banner of the Partypoker has been changed and this adds to all the speculations which are going on. In addition to the different changes which they have done in their website Bwin also recently setup their accounts on the social media websites: Facebook and Twitter.

According to PokerScout.com Ongame Network is currently ranked number 5 in the world and if PokerRoom reopens then it would be joining Ongame Network. During 1999-2009 they were a known name in the online poker world and during that time they were the first one to offer cash poker games. In addition, PokerRoom was one of the first online poker sites to offer online poker via a downloadable Mac client. In addition, since the site will be owned by Ongame, expect them to develop a mobile phone and iPhone client.
