Yeah, I don't understand why stake is taking so long. Poker is the one they they are missing, basically what the whole crypto gambling thing is missing. There is so much money to be made without any risk, just make the platform and collect rake. With such a huge player base it's such a waste to not implement it faster!
Well first of all, the poker market is pretty dry and there isnt that many money to be made unless they integrated themselves with the GGpoker network which is currently the biggest poker network around. On top of that, poker has really strict policy on whether you are allowed to play in the respective country or not and in this case a crypto casino, isn't that really strict on that
Poker used to be one of the games that received a lot of recognition at first, but somewhere along the line, the market dropped significantly to the point that several poker tournaments that were hosted all happened to go in a particular direction, with low participation, but also that doesn't mean that the tournament was left unattended to in some cases players who want to take parts have a different time schedule.
In the long run, poker still remains one of the most popular games that many players will always find interesting at whatever point in time and also having the mindset of maximum excitement from poker games so its development into stake is a great move that will push for further higher traffic to stake.
