BRAZIL BOOMS WITH BSOP AND ONLINE POKER

The poker boom had been building in Brazil, and across Latin America in general, for years. Live and online poker remain legal or unregulated across many of the continent’s nations, so poker could take off with greater ease and more accessibility than in Asia.

Brazilian pro Yuri Martins won the 2015 LAPT Grand Final for $175K

The first Latin America Poker Tour (LAPT) was held in May 2008, stopping first in Brazil and finishing in Uruguay. It was so successful that a second season was launched before the end of the year. In June 2011, Brazil got its own series of poker, the Brasil Poker Tour. The following year, PokerStars sponsored the event and the Brazil Series of Poker (BSOP) was born.

When it comes to online poker, Brazilian players have continually dominated major series like SCOOP and WCOOP in recent years. In 2020, Brazil claimed 45 SCOOP titles to finish second on the country leaderboards, one title behind the UK. In WCOOP 2020, Brazil claimed 35 titles, two more than joint second place UK and Russia. Brazilian players also claimed 33 runner-up places in the series, more than any other nation.

After WCOOP 2021 the picture came into even clearer focus. Brazilian players won 57 titles, 20 more than second place Russia, smashing their own record for most WCOOP titles won in one series by a country.

Online Poker and Responsible Gaming at Party Poker

You’ll find a video covering the different aspects of Party Poker’s commitment to responsible gaming via a link in the website footer. The idea is to keep gaming fun, adding protection and tools to assist individuals that may develop problems.

There is a questionnaire online – under the heading ‘Are you at risk?’. This goes through some key questions about your gambling behavior which are designed to highlight any problem areas. If you find some areas of concern, then links and phone numbers are available to get advice and help.

Finally, Party Poker have a set of tools which allow you to manage your online gambling activity. These include the ability to set limits (for deposits, play and time online), and to take a time-out or completely self-exclude from the site.

How is the Global Poker Index calculated?

The Global Poker Index is calculated using results from every poker tournament open to the public with 32 players or more with a buy-in of $2-$20,000 with scores from when a player finished “In the Money”.

The Index uses an “Aging Factor” that will gradually phase out results over a three-year period.  A player’s GPI Score + Aging Factor equals a player’s GPI Rank.

Blacklist follow-up

I am pleased that the debate about a global poker blacklist has stirred up plenty of discussion in the poker community. It is an important subject that deserves attention from online poker sites, live poker tour operators, and, more importantly, you, the players.

As discussed in my previous blog post there are a multitude of challenges with the introduction of a global poker blacklist and although it is a concept we are keen to explore, realistically this is not a short-term project. What we can do is protect partypoker LIVE events through our own blacklist that is enforced at all of our MILLIONS, PPC and Grand Prix Tours across the world. One of our core philosophies at partypoker is to recreate the thrill of a live poker experience when you play online. In the same manner, it would be remiss of us to promise a fun and fair playing environment in our online events, if those same cheaters are able to sit down opposite you at our live tables.

Many players spend hours honing their skills to become the best poker player they can be, and the vast majority do this fairly. However, there are some who break the rules, terms and conditions, and do not play poker in the spirit of the game. These people do not belong in the poker community and are not welcome at partypoker.

I am aware a discussion about any kind of blacklist poses a number of questions, such as the criteria someone must meet to be included and if there is any scope for forgiveness. What I will say on the matter at this time is that we at partypoker have a zero-tolerance policy towards players who are intentionally trying to gain an unfair advantage over others at our tables. I would like to reiterate that anyone banned at partypoker or other Entain brands is not welcome at any partypoker LIVE event.

If there are any questions around this topic, this is something I would be happy to address in a future blog post.

What is Slowplaying in poker?

Slowplaying is a cunning and manipulative way of playing a hand. When a player has a very strong hand, they might opt to play the hand very slowly. The player with the strong hand might ‘check’ or just call bets which the opponent makes, making them believe the hand is not as strong as it truly is. This strategy will rope opponents in and can bring in the gold, however, played incorrectly, slowplaying tends to give other players the chance to build a strong hand as well as a lost opportunity to build a big pot.

How Live Casino Poker works

Live casino poker is a simple way of playing online poker that recreates an environment you would otherwise only be able to experience in a brick-and-mortar casino. It features a physical location with table games that are broadcast through the use of software and camera crew streaming live images to up to millions of devices, as well as handling any responses by the players, and the outcomes of their choices.

Like a typical game of poker at a brick-and-mortar casino, users enter the game and place a bet in the same way as they would if they were sitting with a real-life dealer in front of them. The game then advances, and just as in an actual casino, cash is paid out for wins and collected for losses.

The dealers in live poker, however, aren’t virtual, but real. They are actual people who are experienced and skilled in running live casino poker. The main difference is that the dealer in live poker needs to deal with up to thousands of players at any one time, all the while appearing to each player that they are having a one-on-one interaction with the dealer. Live casino poker can be entertaining, particularly if live chat is available, where players can share opinions and thoughts. This is where live casino poker really starts to feel like a real-world casino, with bantering taking place between the dealer and the players.

The only requirements for live dealer poker are an Internet connection and a device capable of accessing the live casino’s website, or an app that supports live gameplay.

Available mobile payment options

Mobile apps might have fewer payment options than the full desktop has. However, this isn’t necessarily the case. What is certain though, is that certain mobile apps have a better variety of payment options than others. If you like having a wide choice at your disposal, visit this section in our poker app reviews. Our team will highlight all the available options and which methods provide lightning-fast payments that don’t cost you any additional fees.
