Challenges in online poker
Online poker is at the threshold of changes that have been incorporated after relentlessly being watched with hawk-like eyes by the authorities all along. There was a time when the game was operating under the gray areas in local laws. However, with online poker being legalized in several states, people have regained some of the confidence that was lost during Black Friday, when criminal cases were filed against the founders of the three largest online poker operations.
Though seasoned hardcore players will always find ways and means to play their favorite game, others who play for the fun of it may not be too keen. However, it is the casual players who constitute a bulk of the community playing poker online, as it is more a hobby than a gambling obsession for them. They may not be willing to go through another Black Friday all over again.
It is up to the operators to instill confidence in the players, if they want online poker to survive and thrive. Another problem most online poker operators face is the lack of new innovations in the game. Other than Rush Poker, there is hardly anything worth its salt that can be named as an innovation, leave alone adopting any new business model or modern technology.
