- Friday, 11 Aug 2006
A recently published report titled "The Global Business of Poker" shows that poker is still the top dog of online gambling. Recent measures taken by different elements to increase the influence of the online gambling industry proved as unbeneficial as poker revenues are still raising. Not only that online gambling is still making operators a lot of money, exposure and influence on other industries have risen as well.
The report paints a pink picture. The prizes at the online gambling sites are bigger and there are more people playing online. There are celebrities participating in online poker events, and there is growing TV coverage as well. The online gambling poker market is a billion dollar one, and it seems that nothing can stop it from growing. According to the report there are many online gambling fans that play at online casinos on a weekly basis and that the online casinos are constantly packed with online players. The industry is really thriving.
The reports also sheds some light on the online gambling habits of players. Most players that were asked about their online gambling poker playing said that they play poker at online casinos for fun and to relax or socialize. Although most online poker sites offer huge prizes and great promotions, most players regard online gambling as a means of entertainment rather than a way to make money. The report doesn't only cover players, but provides a detailed analysis of major online gambling groups and industry leaders as well. | |
