Market Definition

Online poker refers to poker games played mainly using desktop or mobile devices connected to the internet. The online poker market has seen a remarkable growth trajectory from its inception at the turn of the century to the present day, where there are an estimated 500+ online poker platforms and 100 million+ poker players on the internet across the globe.

Market Insights & Analysis: Global Online Poker Market (2025-30):

The Global Online Poker Market size was valued at around USD 7.98 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 37.19 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 29.24% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. This growth is primarily driven by increasing digital penetration, evolving regulatory legalization, and the rise of mobile gaming. The number of people having access to reliable and fast internet is rising rapidly around the world. The number of internet users has grown from 4.9 billion in 2021 to over 5.4 billion in 2024. This is adding a large number of internet consumers to the target base of the online poker market. Online poker platforms are gaining access to internet users in previously unserved regions. For instance, online poker platforms in India are witnessing a spike in traffic from smaller towns as a result of increasing access to high-speed internet across the country. Growing access to the internet is thus increasing market demand and contributing strongly to market growth in the online poker market.

Moreover, the market share of online poker is also increasing as a result of progressive regulations. Online poker is being recognized as a taxable activity and is being brought under the regulatory umbrella by several governments around the world. For instance, several states in the United States have legalized events like the World Series of Poker (WSOP) that are drawing in market demand and revenue growth due to partnerships with mainstream payment providers and consumer trust initiatives. This is highlighted in GGPoker’s partnership with WSOP, which has enabled a prize pool of around USD100 million+ for the annual poker tournament. Another example is the ongoing effort by governments of countries such as Brazil that are developing legislation for the regulation and taxation of online gambling in the country.

Additionally, the online poker industry is being further driven by the rise of mobile gaming and esports tournaments. The growth of smartphone users and mobile internet has resulted in a rise in mobile gaming across the globe. This is highlighted in the fact that mobile apps now contribute around 70% of the Global Online Poker Traffic. Online tournaments like WSOP also drive interest through their large-scale user participation and attractive marketing campaigns, leading to a strong demand for online poker around the world.

Global Online Poker Market Driver:

Increasing Access to Smartphones & Internet – The democratization of smartphones and high-speed internet is primarily driving the online poker industry through reduced entry barriers. Market share of online poker has rapidly increased as a result of access to previously untapped markets, as consumers are bypassing the need for buying desktops and costly internet plans. This is highlighted in the growth of active online poker players in India from 2 million in 2018 to over 6 million in 2024. A 2023 report by H2 Gambling Capital found that 85% of new online poker users are using smartphones also supports the contribution of this factor in driving the market.

Smartphone internet users are also driving the online poker market through increased engagement. Users are thus playing online poker whenever they can find time, with playtime and frequency being further increased by innovative quick formats like ‘Spin & Go’. Key industry player GGPoker has reported that mobile users play up to 30% more hands as compared to desktop-only users every week. Cloud-based platforms are further driving market demand by retaining users as a result of added convenience through real-time account access across devices.
