Online players at the Interwetten poker website were astonished at a statement from the company this week which appeared to accuse its host Ongame network as delivering a sub-standard product.

In the statement, Interwetten advises players that it is discontinuing its online poker offering effective November 17th and until further notice.

The company blames its poker software provider for the decision, saying it is due to "....our poker provider’s failure to meet the high quality standards of Interwetten with their product.”

Ongame, which is a subsidiary of the giant European online betting group Bwin, has yet to respond to the Interwetten accusation. All players with credited accounts will be refunded, Interwetten emphasised.
