PokerRoom.com Closure

Closure of companies is something which has been seen in many parts of the world recently as the financial climate changes, but it is difficult to say whether that had anything to do with the Poker Room closure. The poker room itself was quite well known, having been established ten years ago, and there certainly weren’t any outward signs of trouble that you would notice.

Perhaps player traffic at Pokerroom was not as high as some poker rooms, but there certainly seemed to be plenty of players at the tables.

Word of Pokerrooms closure was released on the sites news section, in which they did not disclose reasons for their closing, but did give an alternate site for players to join. Redirecting players in this way, is something I have seen before in a gaming site closure, and it is possible that the company are merging two poker rooms into one rather than shutting down entirely.

If the poker room is starting afresh elsewhere for whatever reason, then that certainly isn’t as bad as completely closing of course. Either way, I have to say that I thought Pokerroom were a reasonably good poker room, and cannot see any obvious reasons why they would close.

I think that generally speaking, if people are experiencing some financial difficulty, a hobby such as playing poker online might be the first to suffer, but there is no real way to tell if this was indeed a factor. Let us hope that poker rooms closing down does not become more regular.
