A month has already passed in 2022 and although we are a bit late, it is never too late to gaze into the crystal ball and speculate on what might happen in the online poker industry across 2022.
In our PRO Predicts series, we will start with our speculations regarding the new online poker giant — GGPoker. The rising star had already grabbed everyone’s attention in 2020 with big headlining news throughout the year. That trend continued in 2021 with new games and innovatiosn, expansion into new territories, an extended partnership with the WSOP, big-sized tournaments, promotions, and more.
