A massive phenomenon is sweeping the Internet. It is playing online games for money. One only needs to look around at the office to see how many people regularly log on to the internet to engage in online games of skill.
These games normally range from the usual solitaire, chess and minesweeper to the World of Warcraft game currently sweeping the Internet. This phenomenon is becoming so popular that most of the big corporations are looking at getting involved in it.
The market is massive and conservative estimates suggest that playing games online for money is going to overtake the traditional online gambling industry in a few short years. I did some research into how many searches are done on certain keywords and I have found that across the spectrum from broad match keywords to more targeted keywords the search numbers are well into the tens of thousands per keyword every month.
This shows that if a niche market were to present itself, then the potential for making big profits may be unlimited to those who take advantage of it. I have read many articles and also searched the Internet for Industry reviews. All have pointed to the fact that playing online games is the next big trend for the Internet.
Here is a list of search terms I have personally used for research. “playing online games for money” “multiplayer online games” massively multiplayer online games” “single player online games” “win money playing online games”. The list is endless and cannot be exhausted here.
I have also browsed through forums of gamers and there are multitudes of websites that are currently exploiting this market. As is the norm with the Internet these websites rely heavily on Search Engine traffic and word of mouth to get their customers.
It would seem that this would be a tough industry to crack given the number of websites currently available. Indeed it would be daunting if one had to set up their own business, aquire a website and then run it and track it using the conventional methods.
Enter the biggest ever marketing idea yet. Some astute entrepeneurs have banded together and come up with a concept that will allow the ordinary internet user and opportunity seeker to take advantage of this major industry of Playing Online Games for money.
This concept uses technology to provide gaming platforms to business partners. Based on the MLM model it is in pre launch phase gathering as many interested individuals as possible inviting them to become business owners promoting this imminent new market.
It is a concept that inevitably will be the holy grail of Internet Gaming and richly rewarding for those who are astute enough to take advantage of it. The concept will allow those who have aquired the gaming platforms the ability to start their own Inernet gaming clubs. Using the power of Social Networking to pull in massive amounts of players into pre arranged tournaments of online games of skill.
The players will pay a fee to enter the tournament with cash payouts to the winners. People will have to use skill to compete against their peers. The use of skills is what sets this apart from online gambling because online gambling is more games of chance than games of skill.
The trend at the moment shows that the USA is the leading supplier of gamers to the Industry. As the regulations get a bit tougher the trend will see Europe and Asia becoming the power houses that drive this Industry. In time because of the economic potential of this industry the USA may be forced to rethink its laws.
