Yeah no kidding... I play hold'em online like every day and I've contributed over $5000 in rake in a couple of months of playing. (if any of you aren't aware, rake is the small fee you pay per hand to the house... the house being the online site that you're playing at)
You could literally make millions running a site like that... Problem is you need to follow a lot of procedures in order to make it legit for REAL MONEY playing. You'd need to have a decent RNG (random number generator) that matches real probabilities as closely as possible, and you'd need hella hack protection and many payment methods and better servers/customer support.
But if Stefan actually considered this he'd have to take it away from Graal because this is a game for kids to adults, and encouraging gambling in minors isn't something that will get you much praise.
If I were Stefan and I had the resources and was in the location he was at, I'd probably have made my own poker site by now.
But hey, if Unix or Stefan likes that idea they should contact me because I know the online poker world inside and out and I could give the best advice as to what would work and what would attract people the most.
But yeah... millions can be made without any real effort aside from maintenance... If they did that they could run Graal for free again and hire a full team of staff and even pay for their residence and everything.
