The latest trend in corporate entertainment online poker With social interactions a thing to fear in this period of the pandemic and restrictions still in place in many countries across the world, online gaming and in particular online poker has seen a significant upward rise with the sector experiencing exponential growth in the past 6-7 months.

Around the same time, industry events also went online and, for every conference or summit, organisers strived to provide networking and entertainment options. Attending most of them (even just briefly, at times), I have seen all the possibilities, from slots contests to industry video chat roulettes – but poker was one of the most in-demand options from the outset.
