Online Poker -- A Virtual Playing Game
Online poker is the game of poker played over the internet. It has been to some extent responsible for a dramatic increase in the number of poker players worldwide. In 2005, revenues from on line poker were estimated at US$ 200 million monthly.
Traditional (or "brick and mortar", B&M, live) venues for playing poker, such as casinos and poker rooms, may be daunting for novice players and are often located in geographically disparate locations. Also, offline casinos are reluctant to promote poker because it is difficult for them to cash in on it. Though the rake, or time charge, of traditional casinos is often high, the opportunity costs of managing a poker room are even higher. Offline casinos often make much more money by removing poker rooms and adding more slot machines.
Online venues, by comparison, are dramatically cheaper because they have much smaller cost to do business costs. For example, adding another table does not take up valuable space like it would for a offline casino. On line poker rooms also allow the players to play for low levels (as low as 1¢) and often offer poker freeroll tourneys (where there is no entry fee), attracting beginners.
Online venues may be more liable to certain types of fraud, especially collusion between players. However, they have collusion prognosis abilities that do not exist in offline casinos. For example, on line poker room security employees can look at the hand history of the cards previously played by any player on the site, making patterns of behavior safer to detect than in a casino where colluding players can simply collapse their hands without anyone ever knowing the effectiveness of their holding. On line poker rooms also check players' IP addresses in order to prevent players at the same household or at known open proxy servers from playing for a passing fancy tables.
Free poker online was played since the late 1990s in the form of IRC poker. Shortly thereafter Planet Poker was the first online cardroom to offer a real income games. Author Mike Caro was one of the founders and the "face" of Planet Poker.
The major on line poker sites offer varying features to entice new players. One common feature is to offer tourneys called satellites by which the winners gain entry to real-life poker tourneys 플레이포커 머니 시세. It was through one such contest on PokerStars that Joe Moneymaker won his entry to the 2003 World Series of Poker. He went on to win the main event causing shock in the poker world. The 2004 World Series featured three times as many players than in 2003. At least four players in the WSOP final table won their entry via an online cardroom. Like Moneymaker, 2004 winner Greg "Fossilman" Raymer also won his entry at the PokerStars online cardroom.
In April 2004, Sportingbet Plc, at the time the world's largest freely traded in online gaming company (SBT. L), announced the buy of ParadisePoker. com, one of the on line poker industry's first and largest cardrooms. The $340 million dollar buy marked the first time an online cardroom was owned by a public company. Subsequently, many cardroom parent companies have gone public.
In August 2005, PartyGaming, the parent company of the then largest online cardroom, PartyPoker, went public on the London Stock exchange, achieving a preliminary public offering market value in excess of $8 thousand dollars. At the time of the IPO, ninety-two percent of Party Gaming's income originated in poker operations.
