Unless you have been living under a metaphorical stone for the last few years, you will know that the online poker market has continued to show a huge amount of uptake across the globe but recent events in America have left players and poker room operators with a challenge on their hands following the introduction of the UIGEA legislation that was designed to prevent US residents gambling online as the government looked to prevent the country economy falling into the same situation that a number of European countries are suffering from at the moment.
The news that online gambling is now illegal in a number of American states meant that players and gaming operators were having to seek alternative methods in which they can still compete within the vast online gambling market, something that has not proven to be as easy as many would have thought.
Although some of the online gaming operators have since seen a huge drop within their US based player base, those that are providing gaming to the UK market have seen an influx of new players that are tuning into the thrill and excitement of online gambling, some sites even claiming that the boost in UK members has helped to cancel out the loss of Americans from their player base.
The revelation that UK players are now showing such an interest in UK Poker Sites is causing more competition for the accolade of being the number one online poker site for that new stream of players and that means that you as a player are able to unlock some of the best online poker bonuses that you have ever been able to.
Online poker bonuses are designed to be a draw factor for new players that are offered by an online poker room so that they can lock that player into an account with their brand, something that ultimately means that they are able to take money from that player in the form of a house controlled rake.
Now although all online poker rooms make money through this method, one online poker room realised that there was a gap within the market and looked to offer their games without rake being taken, being promoted as giving you the chance to obtain all of your winnings from a hand, rather than seeing a percentage go to the poker room but PayNoRake failed in their bid to take over the online poker market and have been left out as more and more poker sites appear offering much more attractive deals to new players.
Do you play online poker? If so what made you choose the poker site that you are playing at?
