I've been predicting that the "big players" on the internet will likely offer online poker rake free in order to generate advertising revenue.
Some have asked how they are going to do that and the below link from AOL I believe clearly illustrates how. They will pay for it with a number of advertising
schemes, and likely there will be withdrawal fees of some sort, but I still think it's gonna be offered rake free so they don't appear as if they are
preying on poker players.
Online poker will likely skyrocket in the US because now players will trust the RNG, unlike now whereby in my view and based on a number of articles, the RNG
at most if not all poker websites is not trustworthy.
Note to problem gamblers...this AOL offered game is free, but if you feel that even a free poker game could trigger you to gamble, then don't click the
link. Also note that I thnk you may need to signup for an e-mail account at AOL in order to play - you can signup at AOL for free, and I have an AOL account
which is where I saw the ad today for their online poker and checked it out.

Actually upon double checking it, the free game can be played as a guest - there is no need to signup at AOL if you don't want to.
Again...if you feel at all this free game could be a trigger to gamble, do not play it - remember, this is a forum intended to bring out the negatives involved in online poker and create awareness about gambling addiction, but it is not technically a recovery forum...it is intended and has been about frank discussion regarding online poker with pros and cons. Not any "pros" in online poker except for the gambling website owners is there? |
