"Netstronger" poker network lies about regulation

[Dan Druff]

Have you heard of the Netstronger Poker Network?

Don't feel bad, I haven't either. Here is a list of sites you will find on it:

http://www.netstronger.com/en/partnership/partners.aspx

Apparently they were caught lying about being regulated by the The Maltese Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA).

That was a lie.

According to Pokerfuse:

The LGA warns that “any references to the Authority and, or any gaming licence issued by the Authority in Malta on the mentioned website are false and misleading.”

The LGA notice was issued last week, but the LGA logo on the NetStronger site has remained in place.

So it goes without saying... don't play there.

BTW, the logo is still on the site. Look in the bottom right corner.

WTH are those skins?? I'm reasonably up on who's who and I've never heard of -any- of them.

I did a little digging. It looks like parent poker entity WantedPlay LTD is being run out of Milan, Italy by this guy, who claims to be the CEO:

It's connected to a software operation called Beproga. Foresti shows as a 3rd-level connection via LinkedIn but I have no idea who he is.
