Poker in Europe

NewPokerPromotions — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:40:17 +0000

Online poker is taking over Europe is booming. Those are the words you can these days find from a lot of different places. And online poker truly is taking over Europe. Just as with many other things the online poker first gained popularity in America and when it became a major thing “across the pond” the Europeans started realizing how much fun playing poker online really is. The first countries that got swiped over with the poker pandemic were a bit surprisingly the Scandinavian countries Norway and Sweden. It can be speculated that this was mainly because practically every home in those countries had a fast and reliable internet connection already over ten years ago. It didn’t take a long for the online poker sharks in those countries to become main stream media figures. Poker players such as Erik “Erik123” Sagström and Bengt Sonner aka “pkrbt” were soon featured in major news magazines and TV programs. After Scandinavia the poker boom began taking over the central Europe and soon major European countries such as France and Germany witnessed their own poker boom. Currently the poker boom doesn’t show any signs of slowing down and every year a new European country finds itself in middle of the online poker storm.
Every year the player numbers keeps going up on the European Poker Tour and other on other European poker tournament series such as European Masters of Poker.
This is mainly caused by countless online poker sites focusing more of their marketing efforts on Europe and running satellites to those tournaments. PokerStars has taken it the furthest and is the official partner of the European Poker Tour. You can find satellites to all the European Poker Tour events at PokerStars. Another site where you can find major satellites is LuckyAcePoker.
Besides the online poker sites focusing on the European poker market, several poker news sites have decided to focus on Poker in Europe as well. Most famous of them is the Euro Poker Pro which offers daily poker news and poker articles that focus mostly on European poker.
