Default Grand Bay Poker - Ladbrokes?

I just downloaded grand bay poker today, and when it booted up it looked identical (apart from colours) to ladbrokes, same tables, same limits (apart from the 100-200 table)..

Is GBP a different entrance in Ladbrokes? i tried to run ladbrokes while on grand bay poker and it wouldnt load..Can anyone tell me whats going on there..i seem to have missed it earlier on when it occured.

Ladbrokes leases the awful poker.com software, and I suspect that this site does the same.

It's beyond me why a multi-billion dollar corporation like ladbrokes would lease second-rate software for thier games, when they could just lock 4 college kids in room for two months and develop thier own.

But what do I know...

The software Ladbrokes uses, is a product of Microgaming Inc., which makes also Casino software many online casinos use. Therefore many of those "traditional" online casinos use Microgaming's software, when they introduce poker.

The same software is also used at former poker.com and WSEX.

Sorry to have to correct you Mogeron but the software you refer to is designed by Riverstyx for poker.com inc which then leases the software to Microgaming which in turn sublincences the software to it's own licencees. At no point is the software Microgaming's and to agree with an earlier posting, why they don't have thier own defies belief but then I suppose with a company of Microgaming's size that could change at any time in the future.
