iPoker is one of Europe’s biggest poker networks — a single pool fed by dozens of sportsbook brands, which is exactly why the games run so soft. Our datamined iPoker hand histories (with real player names) cover that whole network, so one database profiles the field whatever skin a player logs in from.
iPoker is a poker network launched by software giant Playtech in 2004. It’s one of the longest-running and largest networks in Europe, with around twenty active “skins” — most of them household sportsbook brands — all plugged into a shared player pool of roughly 1.5–2k concurrent cash players.
It offers No-Limit Hold’em and Omaha across cash games, sit & gos and tournaments, plus its signature formats: Twister (hyper-turbo, 3-handed lottery sit & gos paying up to 1,000× the buy-in) and Speed fast-fold poker.
A poker network is a group of rooms (“skins”) running on the same software and sharing players. On iPoker most of those skins are big betting brands, which is the secret behind its soft tables. The best-known rooms include:
The games and software are the same across every skin — the main wrinkle is iPoker’s two-tier liquidity split: top-performing operators (like bet365) unlock some exclusive “gold” tables on top of the shared pool, while the rest play the standard pool. Beyond that, the differences are branding, promotions and cashier. For your database it doesn’t matter: our datamined iPoker hand histories cover the network pool, so you get the reads whichever skin a player uses.

A hand history is the full record of a poker hand — every bet, call and showdown. Poker trackers such as PokerTracker, Holdem Manager and Hand2Note read thousands of them and turn them into statistics, notes and ranges tied to each player. iPoker is fully HUD-friendly, so those tools work across every skin.
The first time you face an opponent you normally know nothing about them. On a soft, sportsbook-fed network the edge is huge: datamined iPoker hand histories are hands we have already collected from across the network, complete with the real player names. Import them and:
