Online poker is played via the internet. Online poker has led to the dramatic increase in the number of poker players across the globe in the recent years. As per a research, the money culled in 2005 through online poker was 200 million monthly. Online poker venues have lesser overhead costs compared to the original B&M (brick and mortar) poker rooms and casinos. Online poker software usually prompts the players to play. Rooms of online poker sites further aid the players to play for rather low stakes (1¢) and also offer poker freerolls (entry fee waived), primarily to attract the beginners.
Online poker venues are vulnerable to players' collusion tactics. But, the online poker sites use detection software as well. Online poker sites can identify 'hand history' of cards earlier played by a player on the site to follow the behavior patterns. Moreover, the online poker sites doubly track down the IP addresses of players and thereby obviate the possibility of players from one venue or colluding servers called 'open proxy servers' from dealing at the same table. Tournaments (satellites) are used by different sites to entice poker players to finally test their skills in real-life poker tourneys.
