UK Poker

Online Poker is thriving in the UK with UK online poker rooms, such as Ladbrokes Poker and William Hill Poker, becoming the driving force in European Poker. This will only be enhanced when the inaugural WSOPE starts in September 07.

There is an ongoing transition from betting in the local sports book, usually involving football or horse racing, to online betting. This migration is predominantly focused on the younger player and with pokers' glamorous appeal and challenge it is the number one choice.

This explosion in UK online poker has prompted all of the major land based Casinos to add poker rooms to their offerings, with some serious money being spent on them. Poker rooms have also sprung up within the major cities of the UK; predominant of these are Fifty, The Sportsman, The Casino at The Empire and The Gutshot Club.
