Poker winrates are most commonly expressed in the 4 following ways: bb/100 = The number of big blinds you win per 100 hands. Bb/hour = The number of big blinds you win per hour. $/100 = The amount of money you win per 100 hands. Goalwin poker. Remember, since poker is a game of variance, there's no way to guarantee any results, even with a great strategy. So, instead of saying 'I want to have a 70% win-rate,' try setting a process-oriented goal like 'I want to study poker for 15 minutes a day.' Or, you might. The goal is to win as much money from the other players as possible. About Arkadium's Texas Hold'em Similar to all of Arkadium's online casino games, playing Texas Hold'em online is a great way to practice your poker skills and enjoy the game with none of the risk! My goals on poker are: - Win a big online poker, the sunday million for example or maybe in the WCOOP. Try to cash some extra money every month. Play a live event and cash. Poker, especially tournament poker, is a somewhat difficult game to measure success in because of the inherent variance. Because of this it's important to set goals that you have control over. Far too many people use performance-based goals such as 'I want to win three tournaments in 2013' and/or 'average $2,000 per month in profit'.

Is Playing Online Poker Legal in WV?

Yes. As of March 2019, West Virginia will offer legalized online poker and casino games via the West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act.

It all started several years ago when West Virginia Delegate Shawn Fluharty noticed the success of online gaming in New Jersey and knew that the same type of activity would help his own state, that the revenue would be beneficial, and it would keep the state competitive in the gambling industry.

West Of Loathing Guide

After failed efforts in previous years, including in 2018, Fluharty tried again in early 2019 by introducing an online poker and casino games bill on January 9, but it didn't move. However, behind the scenes, he was working with fellow West Virginia Delegate Jason Barrett on a newer bill.

On February 8, Barrett introduced HB.2934 as the West Virginia Lottery Interactive Wagering Act, with Fluharty as a co-sponsor, of course. The bill moved rather quickly through committees, all the while being changed with amendments, and it appeared on the House floor in mid-February. Three days later, it passed by a vote of 72-22.

The bill had a deadline of March 9, as the legislature was set to adjourn for the session. When the Senate saw the bill, its members made several changes and passed it by 26-7. The House then reapproved the bill on March 9 by a vote of 78-18. The bill then went to the desk of Governor Jim Justice for his signature or veto. He chose not to act.

The bill became the law of West Virginia during the last week of March 2019. The effective date is June 9, 2019.

At that time, the West Virginia Lottery Commission will begin finalizing the regulatory details for the new interactive gaming industry for its state.

Five licenses for online gambling operations can be awarded, one for each of the five land-based gambling establishments in West Virginia. Operators will pay an initial licensing fee of $250,000, and they may then renew a license every five years at the cost of $100,000. They will also have to pay a 15% tax on gross gaming revenue.

The licenses will allow the operators to offer online poker, slots, and table games. And the five casinos/racinos that are eligible to partner with online gaming operators for this endeavor are:

  • The Casino Club at the Greenbrier
  • Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races (operated by Penn National Gaming)
  • Mardi Gras Casino and Resort (owned by Delaware North)
  • Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort (owned by Eldorado Resorts)

Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack (owned by Delaware North)

Is Playing Poker Legal in West Virginia?

As of August 2019, the West Virginia Lottery Commission was working on its rules for internet gaming. Directory John Meyers said the commission's members want time to visit other states like New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania to learn everything about the industry. They expect to make the new regulations official by the summer of 2020.

At that point, license applications will be accepted and vetted, and licenses will ultimately be awarded some time in 2020. The hope is to be able to launch online poker and casino sites by the spring or summer of 2021.

West Virginia Gambling Facts

Residents in and visitors to West Virginia have a multitude of choices when it comes to regulated gambling. The state offers a lottery that serves up old-style tickets and drawings, but there are also now video lottery terminals in land-based gambling establishments. These are resort casinos and racetracks that feature a variety of casino games, VLTs, and pari-mutuel betting.

Sports betting was legalized in West Virginia in August 2018, as it became the fifth state to do so following the May 2018 reversal of PASPA to allow states to legalize and regulate sports betting per their residents' wishes.

And in March 2019, West Virginia became the fifth state to officially legalize online poker and casino games with a specific bill to do so. The bill is slated became effective in June 2019, and as regulations are drafted, it is likely that online gaming sites will be able to launch in 2021.
