Major iPoker Upgrade Announced: Changes to VIP System and Mobile Apps

The second largest network in online poker, iPoker, has announced some major upgrades today, including a mobile app, a new VIP system, shootout tournaments and configurable betting buttons.

iPoker Version 13.1, which is expected in the coming weeks, includes:

• A mobile client for Apple iOS devices and HTML5 platforms, on selected licensees of dot.com and dot.fr
• A new VIP system
• Shootout and Heads-up tournaments
• Configurable betting buttons
• Heads-up rematches

You can view screen shots of the new mobile platform below.

Elite VIP Levels

Perhaps the biggest changes will be seen in the new VIP system. The Elite VIP Levels are aimed to increase lifetime player loyalty and operators will be able to offer:

• Up to 54 new reward levels
• Flexible downgrade protection settings
• New progress bar graphics and design
• Advanced mechanism for shifted/fixed accumulation periods, including up to 12 months accumulated periods.

The example case below shows a status level 'SuperElite' which suggests that annual status levels like PokerStars Supernova Elite could be available. This new VIP system will work in parallel with the existing VIP system, and player progress in both will be calculated simultaneously.

We will bring you more detailed analysis on this if and when our partners choose to adopt the new VIP system and mobile apps:
