Here’s a brief overview of online poker availability depending on local laws in different regions.

The reasons for such bans vary from strict Internet censorship with a religious or moral background (UAE, Iran) and generally low level of Internet freedom ( China, North Korea) to the lack of federal-level gambling regulations (the US, Australia). Like many other gambling activities, online poker is partly or completely prohibited in some parts of the world. So let’s take a closer look at this and other potential challenges for online poker fans. Unluckily, some poker apps and websites are unavailable in particular countries. Moreover, thanks to convenient mobile apps, users can join the game through their smartphones or tablets from anywhere in the world. CMI reports that this market is expected to grow from 76 to as much as 170 billion between 20. Moreover, according to the latest surveys, the approximate number of online poker players has increased by over 60 million in the US alone. From a niche industry serving gambling fans in the early 90s, it snowballed into a global trend fueled by the availability of new technologies. Online poker rooms have made the game available to billions of users worldwide.
