StingBet Poker Overview
Stingbet, a poker room part of the Entraction Network (formerly the B2B Network), a European network with a shared player base composed mostly of Europeans – U.S. players are not accepted. Some of the 24hNetwork skins are: 24hPoker, 4Kings, Bamba Poker, i4Poker and Rival Poker, but player traffic at Stingbet and the 24h Network is not as high as in other poker networks. The Stingbet mission statement says that this poker room is committed to providing “different gaming services in cooperation with leading software providers” in order to bring the best possible gaming experience to the players.
Even though the Entraction Network does not allow U.S. players, poker rooms such as StingBet Poker, i4 Poker(Entraction) and Pokerium are recuperating fast due to a high influx of European players.

The Stingbet lobby is well-organized and easy to navigate; the tabs on top of the screen separate the types of games.
