Leading online casino and poker software developer, Cryptologic, has revealed two improvements recently made to their poker software platform. A huge and innovative improvement to say the least, Cryptologic announced that beginning today, July 3, players will have the option to host their own tournaments and use a filtering tool that permits them to customize personal settings for real money games and poker tournaments.

Aiming to improve customer service standards, Cryptologic's latest innovations certainly do more to improve the playing experience for hundreds of thousands of poker players. If you are a U.S. citizen, sorry to disappoint you - Cryptologic powered online casinos and poker rooms stopped accepting real money bets with the passing of the UIGEA. However, that may very well change in the not-too-distant future with the help of the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act.

The new sorting and filtering tool is designed to speed up the process of finding the perfect tournament for your bankroll and personal needs. Customizable filtering options include game type and speed, maximum number of players, stakes and currency, and tournament start times. Available through the lobby of the online poker software, settings for the filtering tool can be changed at any time.

And if you can't find a tournament you like, now you can create your own. With this new feature, players can build a tournament from scratch, choose a starting time and invite friends - a completely flexible tournament to say the least. Customizable game options include game type, buy-in, currency, payout and date/time. As mentioned, only select players can participate in the tournament, which is facilitated by an email feature that can be programmed to send email invitations to join the tournament.

For anyone interested in joining Cryptologic's massive online poker network, an account can be opened at one of several online poker rooms in the network, including InterCasino, William Hill and Littlewoods. On average, there over 400,000 poker hands dealt across the network each day, and enough capability to host 50,000 players at a single time.
