Online poker’s newest operator is a site that has incredible name recognition, but it’s not one you’ll likely be discussing with (ahem) polite company. That’s because Pornhub.com is not your everyday website, nor is it likely to be an everyday online casino operator.
Porhub’s foray into the world of online poker and online casinos is great news for players who are looking for one-stop vice shopping. And thanks to a plethora of real money casino action that involves unclothed women, it’s also a great spot gamblers who are into multitasking.
The porn giant’s online poker games aren’t likely, however, to appeal much to hardcore poker players. Most of them are designed with the social set in mind and offer plenty of opportunities for player interaction, including webcams and, of course, a comely dealer who strips down to nothing.
For Pornhub vice president Corey Price, the synergistic potential of pretty girls and poker was simply too good to pass up on. In an in interview with the Huffington Post he described the decision to move into igaming as follows:
Our users know a thing or two about having a good time online, so when a casino company approached us with an opportunity to blend gambling with porn, we had to consider it seriously. We decided to take a gamble –pun intended — and go ahead with the idea.
One thing Pornhub’s casino won’t be wanting for is traffic. In 2015, the massive tube site served up 21.2 billion visits. That adds up to about 6,700 visits every second. That’s a pretty good way to get your online poker room going.
