GGNetwork

GGNetwork, which stands for ‘Good Game Network’, is an online poker network launched in 2014. Its goal is to "make poker fun again" and several drastic decisions have been taken to reach this goal such as the prohibition on third-party tools.

History

GGNetwork was launched throughout Asia in 2014 with a focus on Chinese and South East Asian facing operators. Over the course of 2016 and 2017, a number of European and Canadian facing operators joined the network, adding more Western European and Canadian players to the GGNetwork player pool. The company's CEO is Jean-Christophe Antoine[1].

As of May 2019, GGNetwork is the world's largest poker network and is ranked 5th on Pokerscout,[2] an industry traffic monitor.
