Company Overview
Digital Gaming Network is a privately held firm with offices in Costa Rica, Eastern Europe and Asia, employing over 200 people. The company entered into the online gaming support space in 2006, taking advantage of the upheaval in the online gambling industry due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, when it acquired assets of the Gibraltar-based gaming company, Dobrosoft (in operation since the year 2000). Since this acquisition, Digital Gaming Network has continued to secure major network partners, adding an extensive base of clients to its operations.
Digital Gaming Network offers stable poker platforms to online casino companies. Its specialty lies in partnering with existing companies to supply them with all their poker needs, ranging from exciting poker features such as tournaments and ring games, to a team of experienced and willing management staff to offer guidance and assistance.
Digital Gaming Network boasts a strong network of partners, including Bet on USA and others. Its licensees are quickly integrated in the system, allowing them to market their products to players all over the globe. Thousands of players daily enjoy Digital Gaming Network’s 24/7 support and backroom support. The company is also continually developing software in order to keep ahead in the very competitive online gambling industry.
Online poker rooms have the option of integrating their unique branding and features into Digital Gaming Network’s software. This includes all that is needed to create that perfect poker package, from management tools to reporting features. In addition, the software can support any variant of poker, including tournaments, sit-and-gos and more.
Digital Gaming Network Software
DGN debuted its new software at the ICEI show in London in January 2007 and has since taken the online gambling world by storm. The company is the only one that gives operators the option to configure the poker software and to offer all of these features to their players:
- Single and Multi-hand Tournaments: Operators can choose between a variety of tournament options, giving players the ultimate in tourney fun. These include tournaments in games such as Omaha, Hold ‘em, 7CS or heads up. Sites also offer different types of prize pools such as cash, promotional money and tournament access.
- Private Tournaments and Tables: High rollers can be awarded their own private tables or tournaments as a nod of gratitude for their loyalty to a poker site.
- Hosted Tournaments: Marketers or small groups of friends also have the option of hosting their own private tournaments.
- Multi-Round Tournaments: Digital Gaming Network offers players the chance to take part in these types of tournaments where the prize of one is entrance into another. Operators can configure their own tournaments, choosing the number of rounds and the character of the end event.
- Member Profiles: Players get to complete an online form, and submit a picture.
- Chop and Straddle: Players can enjoy these two unique game functions that are popular on poker networks. ‘Chop’ allows players to chop blinds, with ‘Straddle’ being another variation on this game.

- Time Out and Disconnection Identification: Digital Gaming Network recognizes the fact that some sharks take advantage of poker all-ins. As a result, they developed technology that is able to distinguish between when a player is disconnected from the network because of internet malfunction, or whenit is considered a time-out simply because the player did not act on time, even though he or she were connected. Only disconnected players have a shot at the pot.
- Individual Interface Creation: Digital Network Gaming allows operators to customize their software to the very extreme, including the avatars, lobby, furnishings (such as tables, chairs, cards) and right down to the color of the carpeting!
