With $1,470,242.93 wagered at PKR's online poker tables on August 17, 2007 (up from $2,591.48 the same day in 2006) someone is playing at PKR. So who are they? A report published recently shows us that of the 48,416 people that logged in on August 17 this year, more than 80% of them were men, in fact there are 828,918 registered male poker players on PKR, compared to just 74,612 female PKR poker players (8.2%).
PKR is definitely what we'd consider a global poker room, with poker players gambling amongst each other at the tables from more than 236 countries around the world. 22% of PKR's registered players, totaling 199,605 poker players are from the United Kingdom, another 16.1% from the Netherlands, 8.4% of PKR's registered players are logging onto the poker room from Germany. 7.5% from France, and the fifth largest represented country at PKR is Canada, with 49,897 registered players representing 5.5% of PKR's total registered poker players online.
The video game theme offered by PKR is pretty popular with the younger generation, and I'm happy to report, that looking at the numbers, as they're reported, I am a part of the younger generation! Even in my 30's! The average poker player fighting it out across PKR's poker tables is between 18 and 35, and male. The primary reasons that PKR poker is so popular with this group include amazing graphics (really!) and technology that is very customizable, and player interaction.
