Online poker is a game where players compete against random strangers for cash. The game requires skills in bluffing and strategy. In the past, people would play poker in casinos or smoky bars, but the internet has made it easy to play against strangers without leaving the comfort of your home. The first Internet poker rooms were chat rooms, but as technology developed, internet poker became more serious. Online poker sites became secure enough to hold players’ cash.
Online poker is already available in many states, but Connecticut is a relatively small market. The state’s gaming bill does not prohibit mobile play, so it’s not a particularly big opportunity for online poker operators.
