No matter how much you were opposed to playing online before the pandemic, I would probably bet that most, if not all of those players have changed their minds. If you are a player that loves to play poker then I cannot believe that you are not playing online now with all the live games suspended.
I play in another room, and 888 I wait on May 25, but brought the balances to zero, since began to reduce guarantees in free tournaments, in paid also by the way reduce, remember games from Big Fish, there earlier there was also more guarantee.

Yah, the virus is what got me back into online poker. It's also gotten people back into sport card collecting and other at-home hobbies.

This pandemic has certainly got me to return to on-line Poker, I used to run a weekly League game at my local pub and although I stopped running it at the end of the Season at the beginning of 2020 I still went along and played, I felt that 6 years as Tournament Director was long enough and wanted a break from it.
I love Poker and I have been to some amazing Casino's here in the U.K. but I feel the Pandemic is going to be around for a long time yet and it will be a long time before I return to a live game.
If anyone asked me if I was addicted to it I would say yes I am addicted to Poker, but not to gambling, I have seen the results of someone who is a Gambling addict and they are never pretty, Broken marriages, through losing their homes because of Debt, the lies and deceit used to try and fool the ones around you. It is never Nice!
But I feel lucky that I have never tried to hide my addiction and as I have never deposited on any on-line site, I cannot lose anything, and if I was forced to deposit my own cash then that would be the start of a slippery slope which only leads one way. NO Thank You!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

888 Poker was my first poker room ... but I liked the old software better, the one now I don't like it at all but I'm still faithful to it. Compared to other rooms I think it's fine .. the disappointment was unibet in which I created my account and started playing. I had already made about 40 euros and from one moment to another they suspend my account and they keep my 40 euros I think it no longer operates in Peru. In support they told me that in some countries I would not go anymore, it's a shame because I was starting to get used to the room no way

With the pandemic keeping most of us indoors, what better way to pass the time than to turn to your computer and play some poker. It is a great way to spend your extra time not being able to go to many places safely. At least we have online poker to keep us active.

Corona virus pandemic

In these days of the Corona virus pandemic, just when I am struggling financially in my company, I see people on the lines constantly asking for food to feed their family on television.
Therefore, in these days of isolation due to this outbreak, women or men, new players or not, have the opportunity to play online to earn a little money and have fun at the same time to avoid depression.
Therefore, online poker is a great option to start slow and make big profits.

I think a lot of the new play may be stimulus driven.

I've played more lately since I haven't been on the truck due to catching the crony. Thank goodness for short term disability or I'd be hurting. maybe Te Unit is right the stimulus is the reason Go Buckeyes!!!!

If only it was legal in the US, then there would be a huge increase in sign-ups. I play small on ACR, but I would play higher stakes knowing that my money wouldn't be taken away like it was during BF.

Yes, this sore can change a lot.The edges of the live game are broken.The panic caused by this disease is very significant.I don't know how live poker will continue to live, it's hard to even imagine.Well, online poker will thrive-it is clearly his time.Well, we can only wait and hope for a positive future.

You have a better reason to prevent yourself in difficult moments like this, because they gave us this opportunity, but that adrenaline rush to play live makes a huge lack.

I’ve noticed a lot more entries

I play lots of tournaments and I don’t know what it is people just all inside but there has been a lot of entries on the weekly 150k on bet online and the prize pools are some of the highest I’ve seen.
