ISLE OF MAN, UK -- The Prima Network, the world's largest online poker network, celebrates the selection of six of its top operators to the 2005 eGaming Review "Power 50" list.

Bet365, Expekt, Mr. Bookmaker, Trident Poker, Carmen Media (The Gaming Club), and Fortune Lounge (Royal Vegas Poker) all earned top honors. The list, which annually ranks the most powerful companies in the online gaming sector, seeks to determine which names hold the strongest influence over industry trends and will make the greatest advancements in the coming year.

eGaming Review notes, "It is not about who excited the financial markets the most, who garners the most headlines and not necessarily who makes the most money." The Power 50 are the most internationally focused and influential companies in the industry.
