World Poker Congress 2009 2009 is definitely a huge year for online poker, since it has emerging markets in over 3 continents and the poker craze of 2006 has now filtered into the online international arena. This summer marks the fourth annual World Poker Congress, which the entire international poker industry looks to as its annual pow wow. The event brings leading online casinos under one roof for a few days, during which they discuss several strategies for expansion as a cohesive industry. Since they all work together, the strength of the operations becomes multiplied and certainly makes for a stronger alliance in terms of dealing with international law and governments. Also, the Congress is very beneficial because it serves to get all online poker casinos on the same page with responsible gaming as well as sound business practices. The more online casinos adopt these practices, the better reputation they build, and the more willing world governments will be in dealing with them and deciding to legalize online poker. This year’s Congress has just been set to the weekend of July 25, and they have just announced that it will be located in Portugal. The Sheraton Hotel, which is one of the world’s swankiest, most well known locations world wide, is on board to host the event and all the industry giants. Another very important detail is that the World Poker Congress does not discriminate online poker casinos from land casinos. This all inclusive approach effectively sends the message that there is enough room and abundance of success for all to go around. Furthermore, the bringing together of so many facets of the industry all but ensures the longevity of the industry in the first place. Also, it creates an unmatched opportunity for networking, which opens the doors to a harmonious symbiotic relationship between all online poker casinos, as well as across continents, and across the online-land casino divide.
