A sudden virus that took hold over the whole world, affected 🚫 all spheres of life.

🃏Poker is no exception. But if offline poker faced all the negative consequences of pandemia, then online poker, on the contrary, received a noticeable influx of new users.

With every day of downtime gambling establishments were losing huge sums. For example, Wynn Casino lost about 💲2.5 million per day due to downtime.

🔝TOP players one by one announced that they temporarily refuse to play and are going to stay home in quarantine.

Next were poker tournaments. The first was Triton Super High Roller Series, which was scheduled to take place in 🇰🇷 South Korea from February 10 to 22. And then all the rest: World Poker Tour, 888 Poker Live, etc.

The main poker event of the year, WSOP, has also been postponed to a later date.

Everything online 💻

Many amateurs have gone to online poker rooms. For example, in Italy, the PokerStars segment has doubled 📈 the number of users.

If you can't play live, then let's do it online. This is exactly what the organizers of poker tournaments have suggested, announcing WPT Online Series, Irish Poker Open, etc.

The VP of Caesars Entertainment, who runs the WSOP online poker room, said🗯:
“We moved our Circuit events online, and the players covered the guaranteed prize pool set by us three times. But this applies not only to tournaments. Cash traffic is on top. There are many new registrations, first deposits. We have never seen such an increase in activity before".

It will be interesting to see how the events in the poker industry develop further. Let’s wait and see.
