Cost of operating an online POKERROOM??

Fishhead · Jul 1, 2004

What are the day-to-day expenses of operating an online pokerroom??

This seems like a no-brainer for any online casino or sportsbook to have since there is no real downside, other than the expense of the software and the day-to-day operating costs.

I am looking forward to hearing the answers on this.

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Yes

I would also like to hear some figures.

I mean, some of these rooms have to be a goldmine.

Lets ask WSEX or OLYPIC to come in here and ask why they cannot compete with the big boys? They have plenty of money and have spent tons on advertising. I would say that between the two they are two million in the whole. I heard Pinnacle was going to start a site with reduced rake. Even if the charge half rake who gives a rats ass about rake? Only winning players so that will not work.

I play at WSEX and can tell they are gaining customers.

ps- I really like WSEX pokerroom and recommend it.

I would think that there would have to be a concern from the sportsbooks about professionals coming in a raping the new poker players. It would be kinda like shooting fish in a barrel.

Thoughts ???
