Bwin revealed that this marked the first network commercially available fully integrated with the new P5 Poker Engine and stated that Italian authorities would monitor it in full compliance with new regulations.
“The Italian network is powered by the new P5 technology, which offers unrivaled performance, reliability and speed coupled with great graphics and usability,” said Kevin O’Neal, Press Officer for Vienna-based Bwin.
