And Cardschat is contributing brilliantly to this graph rising.😉

Not surprised. Since the Covid, more people spend more time on-line.

It's an amazing prediction, and it's good because it will lead to bigger prizes.

I love going out and playing with live players but I equally enjoy sometimes being lazy staying home and cozy playing some quality online poker

I think many see poker as extra source of money and want to try their luck and win some freerolls and maybe that will lead them to some extra cash. If they come from some poor country that little bit of money can mean much more to them then it means to us. Especially as poker is now available even on mobile phones which means basically anyone from anywhere in world can connect and play.

Good news!

We can only hope that the rake will not become too high and that by that time more than just professionals will be playing at the tables, as well as a bunch of fish )))

A lot of people online, no wonder

 

[DAVID KEHRER]

As states or countries make it easier to play poker will keep growing millions love the game.

 

[Marshmalo1994]

That's amazing! I wonder how much it hit in 2008-2010 🤔

While I do believe this is very possible I don't know if it can or will happen. I just keep reading about places banning or changing and making it harder to play online. Where I live I serieslt doubt t will ever be leagalized and some say my are is one of the next that may have it come to be. Having talked to my politicians I seriously doubt it. I should not be so negave about the game I love and hope this report is correct.

I wonder if the absurd growth of online sports books and online casinos with poker rooms attached is also fueling this growth.

Very interesting.
I have no doubts about the growing popularity of online poker in the near future. So, dear members of the CardsChat community, we have great prospects. It is quite possible that in 10 years we will have daily freerolls with a prize fund of $300, weekly ones with a prize fund of $900 and monthly ones with a prize fund of $3000

I hope everything will be as you said

10 years from now it could be in a virtual reality simulation. The singularity is near.

 

[lala123]

it is very gratifying that poker is developing in the right direction. unfortunately there are some countries that want to make it difficult for us who like to play poker

 

[Dzill_230]

Let it grow! That's all I'm for! No to slot machines - poker is much more useful and interesting than mechanically twitching a pen or pressing a button while waiting for cherries or bells to match.

 

[ms_attack]

I can imagine that it will grow, because more and more money is being printed by the central banks and there will be high inflation, but many countries are making it more and more difficult to play poker and I think the regulation of countries will hit more and more in the next few years. So it will grow, but probably not as significantly as in the study. But I'm happy to be proven wrong and I'm happy to see new fish.

The online entertainment market is currently undervalued. This is a very promising niche that will definitely grow and develop dynamically, and of course online poker is also included.

 

[martinoni]

Yeah we should get in this number os even better, as internet is always in exponential growth.

 

[takinitSLEAZEE]

If there's anyone like me here, then you've been waiting for the next "Moneymaker effect". That proverbial BOOM that comes with $ making excitement. 🤑 Once the online security ups it's game a bit I bet even more people will be willing to drop some bux online. Folx like a safe place to gamble, imo.

I think this ^ (along with INTENSE security measures) is the only way that online poker will grow (& of course having an International playing field instead of so many being segregated as it is now).

The article states that if you'd like to shell out $4,250 you can discover more about it. GIve me a break, lol.

Honestly I wish the article/study were true but I see it going the other direction. Currently RTA is a HUGE problem for online poker!
Also, the player pools are infested with sharks! It's difficult to keep even the devoted, best players playing online poker (because it is so much more difficult to profit from it.... regulars playing $100 abi to squeak out a small ROI, earning the same as what they were earning with a $20 abi 10yrs. ago).

I hope it grows but the small bit of info. in the article honestly just sounds like whimsical speculation imo. I truly hope I'm wrong as I'd like to play this game for the rest of my life.

I'm keeping my wishlist humble and just hoping that more US states realize what a great source of revenue online poker can be. It still seems like it should be a no-brainer... Sigh.

Personally I think legal online poker and gaming in the USA is in inevitable. Almost all states are having a conversation about some kind of legalized gambling. As the baby boomers die off, younger people who are tech savvy and are comfortable online, and maybe less conservative (I mean this in the social sense), will begin to demand their state and federal officials to change or modify their laws. The re-opening of the American market is going to be a huge game changer and a source of major revenue for the industry.

Online games will just be harder and harder to win of course. It's not like chess or most games/sports where you only have to be a little better than your opponent. Because of the rake, you must be a LOT better (and on some sites, especially in low-stakes cash almost nobody can win a significant amount).

Since people like to gamble different kinds of Tournaments will probably remain even if they will be -EV for almost all that enter. It will be like other Casino games and lotteries. People are in it for the hope of being lucky - and because they think it's fun and exciting.

Therefore I think poker (at least online) in the future will become more of a social/entertainment industry.

Since CardsChat has many members and a decent amount of traffic I think the way forward can be to monetize the data in some way (maybe cooperate with survey/poll companies besides being an affiliate). And award people who give their opinions with freerolls/chips/tickets/sweepstakes.

Finally, since I took up AI: the growth in that sector has been exponential so it's hard to predict what will happen even in one year's time. Not only with poker but with the whole society. AGI can be the last invention humans ever make so it can be utopia, dystopia, or game over.

I think this man covers most future AI scenarios pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/@4IR.David.Shapiro/videos
