SteveO Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 How long before we see huge numbers of Chinese playing Internet poker. The Chinese are probably the biggest gamblers in the World and I believe that their interest in poker will eventually be bigger then anything we've ever seen. The Giants of the Poker World must be licking their lips in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Re: The Chinese Internet Poker Invasion! Most of the sites are currently blocked by "the great firewall of china" which strangely I'm not making up. Internet access in and out of china is heavily filtered for reasons of political control. Not going to happen until we see a change of goverment there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
