Thanks to online poker, students are able to make a living during their studies and some even become poker professionals. Thus, many students finish at the top of major live poker tournaments, after a couple of years of online poker practice. Students less than 25 years old are becoming millionaires.
Furthermore, the research found that students represent 20%-30% of online poker sites users, significantly influencing the market. This has lead to the growth of exclusive online poker tournaments and dedicated online poker rooms for students. In the real world, the number of poker university associations and reserved live poker tournaments is also increasing.
Additionally, students' professional dreams are changing, the research shows. 34% of 700 interviewed students said they dream of becoming professional poker players. Given the current economic state of the world, this is not particularly surprising.
