Poker has always been a favorite card game in casinos. For someone uninitiated about the sport but would like to know more about it or play it, there is now an alternative to the drunkard uncle.

Online poker rooms are now available to anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection. What are online poker rooms? You can think of it as your online casino. This is where the game happens. But apart from that, online poker rooms are user-friendly. Unlike in the real-life casinos, beginners are often ridiculed. This actually dissuades them from learning to play poker.

Even though this type of technology only makes the game of poker reach out other non-casino goers, many still cast a doubtful eye on online poker rooms. Concerns of fraud, the use of “bots” in the game (computer programs disguised as human players) and game fixing are enough to make the traditionalists look away and huddle back to their cars. In truth, there are no cases of fraud ever filed against these online rooms. And their security is as tough as the real casino.

Because of this impersonal approach and non-judgmental approach, more beginners are playing. The poker population has tripled since the inception of these online poker rooms. Foolish? No. But online poker rooms are most definitely a stroke of genius.

What does online poker rooms have that the regular casino doesn’t? I think it’s the lack of human factor that makes the online poker rooms a hit.
