But "Internet Poker" as an industry, its growth has not been very good currently. Perhaps crypto could help bring it back to positive growth?
True, BOTs, RTA (Real Time Assistance), and collusion have ruined the online poker industry for an average Joe. Whatever good was left is destroyed by the excessive rake charged by poker platforms.
Generally people who use crypto want to stay anonymous, therefore, it is much difficult to prevent collusion and other stuff. You have to have mandatory KYC, there is no other option.
Besides that competition is becoming difficult day by day as everyone is playing GTO ranges, more or less.
I agree. It would be much better if every competition worth any prize money had KYC. This would give me peace of mind knowing that the other party could be charged for anything they do, whether it's cheating, using assistance, etc. This would be an added layer of security, in my view. So, I'm very much in favor.
