Poker in the News

The online gambling company UKbetting announced that they have launched an online poker site. The poker room is in addition to their sports-betting and casino site at www.goldbet.com .

The most interesting part of the story is this:

Online gambling has grown to $9.2 billion globally since its birth in 1995 and is forecast to produce a 22 percent compound annual growth rate between 2003 and 2008, driven in particular by poker, said the report (by investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein).

Online gambling is BIG-- I hope that North Dakota is able to get in on it.
