The global online poker market grew 7.1 percent in 2010 according to a H2 Gambling Capital report shown to Egrmagazine.com.
The reports states that poker generated $5.06 billion in revenue in 2010 but without legislative developments in France and Italy which regulated those markets overall growth in online poker would have been negative. This highlights how important offshore poker sites are in keeping the global market active.
The report estimates net revenue growth in the online poker sector of between 2 and 4 percent in 2011.
