What is/are Online Poker? How big is the Online Poker Industry?

Online poker has come a long way since its inception in the late 1990s. What was once a niche market has now become a multi-billion dollar industry, with millions of players around the world participating in cash games, tournaments, and other online events every day. In this article, we will take a closer look at the online poker market, its growth over the years, and its future prospects. In terms of revenue, the global online poker market size was valued at around USD 86.2 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 237.5 billion, by 2030.

The first online poker site was launched in the late 1990s, and it was an instant hit with players. By the early 2000s, several more sites had emerged, and the online poker market was starting to take shape. However, it wasn't until 2003 that the industry really exploded, thanks to the televised World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the victory of an unknown amateur player named Chris Moneymaker.

Moneymaker won his way into the WSOP through an online satellite tournament, and he went on to win the main event, earning $2.5 million in prize money. His story captured the imagination of the public, and it sparked a huge surge in interest in online poker. The number of players signing up to online poker sites skyrocketed, and the industry grew rapidly as a result.

Regional Analysis:

Europe is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The growth in the region is attributed to the legalization of gambling games such as poker, sports betting, and others. These games are very popular in countries including Spain, Italy, France, and Germany. Moreover, the presence of high-speed internet coupled with the growing penetration of smartphones is another important factor that propels the market expansion in the region. For instance, as per Eurostat, the European Commission established a 2030 goal to have gigabit connectivity in every EU home and 5G coverage in every populated region.

The rollout of fixed very high-capacity network (VHCN) networks across the EU has already made major progress. Compared to 2013, only 16% of EU homes had access to high-speed internet in 2021. Low-density regions saw an improvement in VHCN connectivity as well. In the EU, the percentage of households with fixed VCHN connections grew from 4% to 37% between 2013 and 2021 in low-density areas. Despite these advancements, entry levels vary considerably between EU Member States as well as within many Member States depending on population density. In addition, according to the GSMA, Mobile technologies, and services contributed 4.6% of Europe's GDP in 2020, adding more than €740 billion in worth to the economy.

The mobile ecosystem also contributed significantly to the financing of the public sector, raising €84 billion in tax revenue, and supporting about 2.4 million employment (directly and indirectly). Up until 2030, 5G technologies will significantly boost the region's economy and affect important sectors like industry and public administration. Thus, these facts support the market expansion over the forecast period.
North America is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The regional growth is attributed to the growing digitalization and secure mobile solutions. In the US, three states, namely, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have gambling regulations, which are driving the market app demand. For instance, in July 2021, "Gambling Responsibly America," a responsible gaming software, was released by Entain PLC. The program was created by EPIC Risk Management and RG24/7. The app will give users access to tools for assistance and education for anyone who may be having problems with gambling. Thereby, driving the market growth over the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The expanded use of internet services, the increasing number of smartphones, and the easing of regulations governing betting online and gambling. For instance, according to the World Economic Forum, Smartphone usage is quite widespread in the majority of emerging countries. Smartphone penetration is higher in countries like Singapore (87%), Malaysia (83%), and Thailand (75%). However, the Philippines will see the largest rise in the smartphone market in 2020—more than 90%. Similarly, by 2025, the amount of mobile data consumed in South and Southeast Asia will triple, from 9.2 GB to 28.9 GB per person per month, according to the GSMA. Additionally, the use of cryptocurrencies for gambling has also increased as a result of the acceptance of bitcoins. Increased spending on leisure activities is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period, along with Asia Pacific's strong economic growth.

The Current State of the Online Poker Market

Despite the challenges of the past decade, the online poker market has remained strong. While it is difficult to get an accurate figure for the size of the market, estimates suggest that it is worth between $4 and $8 billion per year. There are hundreds of online poker sites currently operating, each offering a range of cash games, tournaments, and other events.

One of the key drivers of growth in the online poker market has been the rise of mobile gaming. Most online poker sites now offer mobile apps that allow players to access their accounts and play games on their smartphones or tablets. This has made online poker more accessible than ever before, and it has helped to attract a new generation of players.

Another factor that has contributed to the growth of the online poker market is the increasing popularity of e-sports. E-sports events such as the League of Legends World Championship and The International Dota 2 Championship offer multi-million dollar prize pools, and they attract huge audiences around the world. While online poker is not strictly an e-sport, it shares many of the same characteristics, such as the need for skill and strategy, and it has started to attract more attention from the e-sports community.

The Future of the Online Poker Market

Looking ahead, there are several trends that are likely to shape the future of the online poker market. One of the biggest is the continued expansion of the global online gambling industry. As more countries legalize online gambling, the market for online poker is likely to grow even further. For example, in 2020, Michigan became the latest state to legalize online gambling, and this is expected to create a significant new market for online poker operators.

Another trend that is likely to shape the future of the online poker market is the increasing use of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize online gambling by providing a secure, transparent, and decentralized platform for players to participate in games and transactions. Several blockchain-based online poker sites have already launched.

Online Poker Market: Opportunities

Adoption of blockchain technology

The adoption of blockchain technology has also had a big impact on the global online poker market expansion. In addition to conventional payment methods, blockchain payments are now being accepted by gambling apps and websites. For instance, BitStarz, a site for bitcoin gambling, has about 4 million regular users. The blockchain can ensure secure payments with transparency in gambling activity through blockchain ledgers. Gambling through cryptocurrency offers vast opportunities as they are fast and safe transactions. With fewer regulations and restrictions for cryptocurrency transactions, they are now widely used by users in online gambling. Thus, the adoption of blockchain technologies is expected to provide an attractive opportunity for market expansion over the forecast period.
