Poker removed from Sportsbet?
There was announcement from Steve, long story short there is no poker on Sportsbet at the moment. I guess they are working on new software deal or considering if Poker is even worth the hassle.

The new software deal was a necessity, because the one they were using wasn't from the best. But I really hope they are not considering an option of removing poker from their site forever. Running crypto poker may be not so profitable today, but in the future, when all gambling industry will shift towards crypto, already established sites will have a huge advantage over others.
Of course it would be very bad to eliminate the crypto poker game, it would reduce people's interest to join the SportBet platform. In addition, in my opinion, poker is a relaxed game because many people like it, hoping they reconsider their decision and think about the fate of their platform in the future. front
I think this was done for future and not right now. They didn't remove it because they feel like there is something wrong with poker, no on contrary they removed it because they realized there is a huge profit to be made from the poker part as well (well not huge I am sure) so at the end of the day they realized they could make some money with poker and that means they need to make it better. How would you go about with it? You license a poker software that is miles better than the current one.
Of course, as non-developer myself I wouldn't know the first thing about removing old poker software and adding a new poker software, that sounds like a magic wizard type of thing to me, but developers must be working on it constantly and eventually when they get it ready,
we will have a much much better poker software to play.Yep, that's what I hope too. Not sure about
huge profit, but some profit can definitely be generated from poker games. Will it cover the expenses? Well, maybe not right away, but what I'm sure of is that there are thousands poker players who use BTC. I remember around 2k registered just for one tournament on one site, and it was more than 2 years ago. The number of potential players could only increase in the past years.
Btw, the site I mentioned discontinued poker at one point, and then reopened it, but with a different software, exactly the one sportsbet was using until recently. However many times I've checked, I've never seen more 100 players there since then. Where have those thousands gone, I have no idea, but maybe they are waiting for a site with some decent software.
