A report came this week that BluffRoom on the Merge Gaming Network is about to close its doors for good.

It appears that, despite being regulated by somewhat inefficient Malta&s LGA, Bluff Room player funds are now administered by the Merge cashier, which gives players a better chance of being paid out.

The poker room was operated by an Italian internet gambling service company IG Partners Limited, which organized a reimbursement program due to its liquidity difficulties.

As for the closure strategy itself, it&s still to be announced, while in the meantime the Bluff Room website remains licensed and subject to the regulations of the not-so-distinguished LGA.
