Why online gambling got more and more popular

There were a few turnouts in the history of online gambling, however, this industry managed to turn the page in the most elegant manner.

One of the most important events that changed the usual course of things is the American decision – the famous Prohibition of casino activities. However, this had an unfortunate event became a good opportunity for other online sites. Therefore, gamblers turned their attention on other countries that still encouraged the games.

Therefore, a new leader came on the front scene – UK, a country that forecasted the potential of it all, and started encouraging the industry. Actually, we have now more EU countries that are investing in this.

Plus, another name should not be omitted – Antigua, a brave country that decided to challenge America’s decision, and to encourage gambling.

As a direct result, the European sites and all other sites situated elsewhere from American lands, became over populated by gamblers. This situation reminds me of the situation during America in its 20’s, when alcohol was prohibited. Back then, like now probably, the results were on the opposite direction. The alcohol business boomed but not as a clean and legitimate business, but as a shady illicit activity.

Now, for all “puritans” from out there: wouldn’t it be better to control and set regulations in order to make it work properly and gain big from online gambling, instead of interdicting it and causing other responses?

Plus, online gambling is far safer and cleaner than land based one, as it is built on a simple principle: have fun and win money!

Poker – from television to computers

It all started with Steve Lipscomb. He is the spiritual father the great poker online growing. Steve changed the concept of poker with a sigle and subtile gesture: durring one of his television shows he used some small cameras that showed the cards of a player. It was during a game of Poker Hold’Em, a poker version where every player gets two personal cards and can share five community cards.

The result was astonishing. Not only that it increased the audience but also inspired many poker amateurs that could then see for real what happened at the show. This is how Lipscomb managed to change the public oppinion on poker. Therefore, poker was not seen anymore as a game only for pros but also for any person that loved the game and had the desire to play.

After this booming show he considered bringing celebrities in order to raise even higher the popularity of the game. Ben Affleck was one of the many names that were connected to poker tournaments.

Lipscomb said that the celebrities were there to play a game, and to enjoy it. Just pure and plain fun.
“Ben Affleck can’t suddenly compete in an NBA game. But he can play in a WPT event and have a legit shot at winning.” Online Poker nourished from this, and many begginers started to play and earn experience allong with inportant winnings. It all exploded as the online prices reached huge sums and a new concept appeared – online poker millionaire. Today we have more online poker players that the total amount of players that deal in land based casinos.
