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:
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
