When it comes to making something popular, there is no single formula. Ask any marketing team, commercial director, or corporation CEO and I am sure they will agree. Whether it is a brand of car, a type of domestic cleaning product, a style of clothing, a food group or a computer game, there is always competition and always another choice for consumers or shoppers to make. Put simply, popularity is also something that can be both gained and lost, making retention and loyalty as important as gaining the business in the first place.
In terms of competition, there is no shortage of this in the world of gaming. Ever since the dawn of consoles, the likes of Sony, Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft have been feverish in their attempts to make themselves the most popular on the market – and so have others in the gaming world, like casinos, competing with each other for the greatest number of customers and the best reviews.
The same is true in the world of online casino games too, as an ever-evolving and expanding landscape continues to maintain the industry as a global phenomenon. Arguably, the king among these is poker. Yes, there are many other games on online casino platforms, but poker is one of the most popular.
So, is the popularity of online poker something that is due to those who already loved playing it when they visited a bricks-and-mortar casino? Personally, I think there is far more to the exponential growth of poker than something that simple. With so much choice with regard to online gaming, entertainment and overall social activity, the numbers playing online poker are truly staggering, as is the loyalty and devotion of so many of those players. So how is this online poker revolution coming about? Let’s see.
When I walk around the supermarket, I often wonder why I need so much choice when it comes to products. Sometimes, I even think there is such a thing as too much choice. Since the virtual world became ubiquitous and the internet became available anywhere and everywhere, choice has been taken to a whole new level. From online shopping to booking holidays, comparing insurance quotes to selecting a home, there is no such thing as a monopoly, with thousands upon thousands of results for every search.
This is not to say that choice is not good. In the case of online poker playing, this explosion of options has been an absolutely wonderful thing for the industry. Online poker is not just a globally loved pursuit these days: it is in a constant state of improvement due to the sheer number of online poker websites that are vying for your attention, business, and loyalty. One thing that is driving the numbers playing online poker is the quality of the platforms.

With every new competitor that emerges, the quality of established and existing sites needs to improve to maintain their status. Alongside technology such as RNG, constantly improving graphics capabilities, extended gameplay options, and more experience-driven products, companies are trying harder than ever to deliver high-end casino playing experiences.
All this means that there is an abundance of both quality and quantity when it comes to online poker playing – something that can only ever be good for consumers, and is likely to attract even more people to the world of online poker.
One of the main and perhaps obvious reasons online poker has become such a big business, attracting more and more players day by day, is the fact that it is global. Being able to play anywhere, anytime, with people around the world has made online poker a genuinely attractive pursuit for both those who already played at casinos and who prefer the online experience. It is, as it were, the best of both worlds in terms of commercial opportunity: getting new people interested and attracting those who already love poker.
As more players join the global online poker community, it seems that the potential for this beloved game is almost limitless. To say that the future of online poker is bright is perhaps an understatement. Whether online poker companies partner with new gambling platforms or come from established bricks-and-mortar casinos as an extension of that business model, the global markets inevitably grow, as players flock to enjoy the profusion of options on offer.
Ultimately, with new online poker companies still emerging, online casinos are likely to continue to attract more and more players. With billions already loving it, online poker is something that is a genuinely worldwide source of pleasure, a pastime that has countless devoted followers. With so much to do online in the world of gaming and entertainment, this sustained growth and success is even more laudable, and you can bet it will not slow any time soon.
