Yes, It's Really Gone

The online casino gambling industry news is rampantly reporting on the surprising news that the popular and lucrative PokerRoom.com site has officially shut down and will no longer operate. PokerRoom is one of the more popular internet poker sites and is owned and operated by the hugely successful Bwin international online casino gambling group. The site has been in operation essentially since the launch of the internet gambling industry – nearly a decade at this point. The news that the site would no longer operate came as a very real surprise to many because there was no previous indication that Bwin planned to end this lucrative online poker brand.

The news rocked the industry several weeks ago and is now still making headlines since the PokerRoom.com site has actually now officially closed its virtual doors. There aren’t necessarily a ton of online casinos that are closing their doors – but the current economy is certainly taking a toll on some of the gambling groups and causing them to shut down some of the fringe sites and streamline their operations.

Part of the shock about the PokerRoom.com site is the fact that Bwin has turned in some solid quarterly reports lately and does not seem to be struggling in the current online casino gambling industry. The online poker site set several firsts in the industry and now, players who were still registered and actively gambled on the site are being encouraged to switch over to the Bwin site for some extra bonus incentives.
