New competition in the online poker world
When you think of Virgin what comes to mind - Airlines, music and perhaps a cola beverage, certainly not online poker, right? Wrong! The Virgin mega conglomerate will soon be expanding into the ever growing market of online gambling, and if anyone has a chance to succeed you can be sure it will be Branson. The edge that the company has against other online casinos is the mere fact that they have the ability to branch the online poker world into their other sister companies.
With international flights and trains throughout the UK, Virgin will have the ability to not only have their customers gamble in their homes, but more importantly on the road and in the air. Why wait to arrive in Las Vegas when you can begin gambling on the lengthy flight? In addition to winning money, Virgin will also offer other incentives such as air miles and loyalty points, which can be traded in for Virgin products.
To avoid restrictions set by the USA, Virgin will limit their online poker sites to the European market. But don't worry; with the growing interest in online poker play on a world wide scale, they will not be lacking a large customer base. Assuming the future success of Virgin online poker we are bound to see other conglomerates expanding into online casinos. You never know, maybe one day you will be playing online poker on your Sony mp3 player while waiting for your coffee at Starbucks.
