Probability announced its latest product in time for the ICE(i) show in London last month, introducing a new mobile poker game titled “Head2Head”.

Among the reasons for this lack of trust including not trusting the randomness of the cards dealt online for 33 said they were worried about the safety of their funds and bank details. A fifth of respondents, 21.3 said they were unhappy with the use of “software bots”. One area which needs to be improved is customer service offered by online operators which was average (51.8 still rated online as their favourite poker destination, although home games were the overwhelming winners at 57.7 said they preferred casinos or poker clubs, but 36% said they would be more likely to visit such venues if the atmosphere were less intimidating. Charles Cohen, chief executive of Probability, said: “We don’t have any axe to grind on this issue. In fact, the reverse is true - a healthy poker industry is good for us because the more people who are comfortable with playing remote poker the more business there is for us to shoot for." “Some 50 per cent of players surveyed by the Great British Poker Survey said they did not trust the online poker sites. A third said they did not trust them at all. Those figures are striking and came as a surprise even to us. There is clearly an issue here that the industry needs to address.” The Great British Poker Survey was carried out by market research specialist 72Point among more than 2,500 players.
