Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6794068, member: 397965"] They did during the lockdowns. But after lockdowns were lifted, it has been the exact opposite. The travel industry has been booming in 2022 and 2023 due to pent up demand. To be honest I dont think, that prediction will come true. For 15 years we have seen nothing but declining volume on all sites except GG Poker. Less and less activity in cash games and SnGs, and smaller and smaller quaranties in MTTs. Thats the reality on PokerStars, 888 Poker, PartyPoker and ACR Poker, and everyone, who have played there for more than a year, knows it. It would be great to see the development turn around, but until I see it with my own two eyes, I dont beleive in it. Also some of the things written in the article makes no sense. They are mentioning increased access to the internet as a growth driver. But at the same time they are mentioning Europe as the strongest market, and in Europe most people have had access to the internet for more than 2 decades already. What is going to be far more important, is, what happen on the regulatory front. Will dutch people for instance be allowed back on PokerStars? Or will even more countrys make regulations, that essentially kill online poker, as Germany has done. With that being said, there is one site, which is growing, and that is GG Poker. And its also possible, that there is growth in gambling oriented formats like Spin n Gos, which are easy to play on a Smartphone. So maybe the total turnover in the industry is actually increasing, but this mainly benefit the owners of GG Poker. For people, who enjoy traditional poker formats (that are possible to beat), action is getting less and less, except on GG Poker. [/QUOTE]
