Online Poker To Start In Denmark
Super good news for Danish poker players, the Danish Government have agreed upon licensing online poker in 2012. So, if you’re a poker fan or player living in Denmark or if you’re running an online casino in Denmark, this is definitely going to help you a lot if you just know what I mean.
Some people might underestimate the prospect of online poker in Denmark thinking that the population of Denmark is mere 5.5 million. But there’s a big chunk of people in those 5.5 million who are poker players and who gamble in poker including the famous professional poker player, Theo Jørgensen.
Still think it’s not much of a big deal? Heard about PokerStars? It’s the world’s largest poker site. It host many live events throughout the world, the most famous being the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, which is played at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas every spring and which attracts thousands of professional poker players and celebs from around the world. That same PokerStars hosts the European Poker Tour every year in Denmark’s capital Copenhagen. And this year the grand prize was a whooping 3.7 million DKK. Also its hosts number of weekly events for Danish players in collaboration with Ekstrabladet, the largest tabloid paper in Denmark and the recent prizes of that include iPhone 4S, holiday packages and many other cool stuffs. And PokerStars doesn’t just host the tournaments for anything. It does wherever it sees the opportunity. So, guys don’t take this licensing lightly.
Big companies like PokerStars sure will try to take an early advantage of this new regulation. They’ve experience on this too as they’ve previously launched local clients in other licensed markets, such as Belgium, Italy and Estonia. So, it possibly will be a lot easier for them to launch and penetrate the Danish online poker market. But, let’s wait and watch what will happen in future.
