That would be an interesting tidbit to know -- I guess they had a fair number of players when they were still at Ongame, but most players probably saw the traffic (or lack thereof) at DGN and proceeded to play elsewhere. I'd find it hard to believe PS will get many players out of this.
I just remembered one of the other new DGN skins -- Century -- the remnants of Golden Palace.... Though I'd recommend everyone stay away -- those clowns still haven't paid my cashout from Jan. Grrrr

I logged in yesterday and today and it looks like their active player base just got cut in half with the departure of FCP.

They may have moved some former players to DGN at some point, but they don't have DGN rooms as far as I know. E.g. SIA's US-facing room is Microgaming, and I believe GP only has an iPoker room.
I just checked again and the skin I downloaded was indeed from Digital Gaming (screen shot below). Century Poker is Golden Palace's American skin.

I would not be surprised if they were half the network. I'm sure they are happy to rid themselves of their relationship with Futurebet.
They'll be a top 5 room, you'll see.
Seriously, there are still some big sites on this network, although you wouldn't know it by looking at the traffic. For example, Golden Palace's and Sports Interaction's American players play there. | | Static Link |

Anyone know if they're going to merge accounts for folks with pre-existing accounts on Pokerstars?

Thats what the report says, merge for people who already have a stars account, create a new one for those that don't. | | Static Link |

Im suprised anyone does buisness with futurebet after the number of problems they have been the centre of.
I am not suprised daniel is giving up on the online poker with the fact he works in america and is easily arrested (even though he techincally doesn't have anything to do with ownership). | | Static Link |

As part of this merger, all FCP player balances (cash and player points) will be transferred to PokerStars. Full Contact Poker and PokerStars will try to make the account transfer process as easy and seamless as possible.
We would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during the transition process, which will take place over the next few days. Please take care to read the information that follows very carefully.
Full Contact Poker will cease all poker and casino operations in all countries and return FullContactPoker.com to its roots as a forum-based poker community that features Daniel Negreanu and his popular blog, video diaries and a new video poker school that is in development.
