How online poker conquered the world

In those days, gambler Chris Moneymaker – yes, that’s his real name – got qualified for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) through an online casino. He entered an online casino with 39 dollars and began to play poker. From there on, he made it to the final table at the WSOP in Las Vegas, won the main event and the top prize of 2.5 million dollars.

From nobody to poker millionaire

His story has inspired millions of poker enthusiasts to try their luck in online casinos. All around the world, people wanted to play online poker now. This movement got a name: "Moneymaker Effect".
