Going forward with the future of poker
The online data are showing massive growth in people playing online. Due to the Pandemic, a lot of poker players and even non-poker players are at a stay at home order or a lockdown situation. looking for alternatives to playing or just to kill the time. online poker has grown.
Most poker sites have now started making big tournaments with Low buy-in. Although it is a tested marketing promotion. one thing for certain players has changed slowly.
attracting players with promotion is not as effective as before. especially in some parts of Asia.
Payments solutions and agents play now a key factor if players will join. after all, Depositing any amount without the assurance of a smooth transaction is a hindrance especially in countries where credit cards and other payment portals are not accessible.
Some players would rather deposit money on people they can trust. hence the growth of PP Poker and other gaming apps.
Even with a lot of challenges. j88 decided to take it slow and steady.
Sustainable promotion in a competitive market.
Although J88PT just concluded. J88 has still not gone all out. it was a great event which we have covered that attracted quite a number of players. they could easily follow it up with a more aggressive tournament but due to other big tournaments under way. J88 decided to remain consistent.
J88 PT Millionaire
J88 PT was a success. a lot of players joined and played the main event which was 100k GTD for only 88 USD. Guaranteed side events also hit its mark.
The tables were soft as there were a lot of new names in every final table. Only one player from the J88PT Team we believed to reach the final table. As some players use alternative nicknames. it was hard to be certain. although the PROS had to use their name.
Kim Ji Woon was on the final table in one of the side events. he, after all, did finished 47th place in the Main Event of WSOP main event last year. He is the Leader of the J88 team and has been quite active trying to promote J88 all across the world.
We were rooting for Chen An lin when he took an early lead in the main event of the j88PT. but he was hit hard in the latter part of the game.
A bigger guarantee this sunday
Every Sunday was normally the best tournament of J88. The burning red monster was the hottest one. and every end of the month it was the one with the biggest guarantee. but for this week after the success of J88PT. J88 burning Red Monster will be exciting for this week as it will have an attractive guarantee.
Mobile Users would be surprise of the format they are using which remains to be an old-style system. but the actions are quite great in J88 which is what is the most important. Their OFC games are quite juicy.
With the vaccine still far from being available to the public. we hope you are all well and staying indoors. We will win this fight against this global pandemic and we hope to see you soon on the table poker playas!
