The research group expects to see the online poker industry reaching $ 37.19 billion by 2030 -

A new research piece has been published, which indicates that the online poker market is in an explosion of growth. Market studies carried out by Markntel Advisors, based in New Delhi, plan to see online poker go from $ 7.98 billion to $ 37.19 billion by 2030.

This piece of market foresight stems from several factors. Like sports betting and online casinos, researchers think that “the proliferation of smartphones, the increase in internet penetration, the game functionalities fueled by AI and the evolution of online poker regulations”.

New technology is not always the best for poker

Although there is a slight concern about artificial intelligence in poker, especially online, where robots are a little more difficult to detect, Marktel Advisors says that AI will be part of this growth. The “game features fed by AI” are more around the safety and commitment of players.

In a section of questions / answers down, he claims that the tools fueled by AI currently feed the anti-fraud and gameplay analysis.

For other technologies, such as web3-based poker sites, he says that “decentralized platforms gain ground” thanks to their “fair algorithms and cryptocurrency support”. However, in November 2024, the online casino operator Metawin was hacked for $ 4 million. A few days later, on November 8, CoinPoker was operated for $ 2 million.

Current technology is doing a better job

The group also points out that small elements of technology and not in the web3 world contribute to the growth of online poker. As poker applications “hold a market share of 70%”, it is able to use push notifications and integrated “payment gateways”, such as Apple Pay or something similar, to introduce a transparent loop to always engage the player.

Of course, the “proliferation of smartphones” and “increasing internet penetration” quickly become the main factors. As Markentel points out, in a country like India, poker players have “tripled in just six years” because the two technologies become cheaper and more accessible, as well as fundamentally better.

Changes in the United States will develop online poker

This also concerns the United States, which has a market share of 35% in poker. While states relieved their online game laws, online poker becomes hot goods in the United States. While more and more states are opening options for online games, the more the United States will see its online poker numbers develop. Currently, a large majority of online game games are still going to offshore operators, which could contribute to inaccurate figures during research like this.

As for the game itself, he found that Texas Hold’em “dominates with 70% + market share”. This is partly due to its set of rules that are easy to follow, as well as tournaments.
