History
Cake Network was founded in 2004 and launched its first network skin, Cake Poker, in June 2006. Other network partners followed in fairly quick succession including Sportsbook.com, Red Star Poker and BetUS. The Cake Network currently has 35 network skins.
As of April 2010 the Cake Network saw a steep decline in player traffic as the company lost two major poker rooms, PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com, to the Merge Gaming Network. Even with the addition of new rooms to the network, Cake has continued to lose ground on the rest of the industry. In less than a month the Cake Network has dropped significantly on Pokerscout.com's list of most trafficked sites.
In January 2011, Cake Network's well-known partner Doyles Room, featuring Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson and Mike Caro, left the Cake Network, moving to the Yatahay Network.
Cake is notorious amongst both professional and amateur poker players for not paying cash out requests in good time as stated in its terms and conditions. Poker forums and magazines warn would-be players of the issues involved in cashing out. http://pokerfuse.com/features/comment-analysis/financial-issues-cast-shadow-cake-poker/

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
