Online Poker Growth
At first glance it sounds so simple; online poker is simply playing the game of poker on the World Wide Web. But it goes far deeper than that, as veteran poker players will attest. Online poker has stimulated an entire new way of playing the game and the strategy behind it. It has been a revolution bigger than when the forward pass was allowed in American football. The entire dynamics have changed and for the better.
Traditional brick and mortar poker rooms were often considered to be intimidating places, if you could even find one, and also with suffocating limits for playing times, choices, limits, tournaments, etc. Online poker has completely flipped that and now people that otherwise were interested in poker but somewhat hesitant about getting involved now go “all in” and play poker every day at online poker websites.
Online poker is a multi BILLION dollar industry, which is indicative of the incredible popularity and growth of the game and also of just how much demand there was for easy access poker.
Contrary to what those who don’t really know or understand what is going on in online poker rooms, the security is incredibly tight and cheating is, in fact, easier to detect and bust than is the case at traditional brick and mortar casinos. The online poker rooms have several electronic means to track play and potential collusion.
Online poker has opened up the game to untold millions of people who can play their way into the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour thanks to online card rooms.
