Essel Group’s PokerNation acquires rival Mercury Poker

PokerNation, an Indian poker site owned by Essel Group, has taken over rival website Mercury Poker.

In a statement, Mercury Poker CEO Pranav Bathija informed players early this week that they will be redirected to the PokerNation website starting Feb. 13, 2018. Customers should expect a “seamless transition” to the new site, according to the executive.

“Fortunately for our players this will be a seamless transition, both our teams are working tirelessly to ensure that you, the player, will continue to enjoy an enhanced experience,” Bathija said on the Mercury Poker site.

Beginning Thursday, Mercury Poker players have been able to log in to PokerNation using their current details. Their existing balances, along with accrued loyalty points and bonuses have also been transferred to their PokerNation accounts.
