Through our own extensive insights into our global player ecosystem, it’s been fantastic to see that Pokerist is more than just a social casino game, it is a place to meet with friends and make new connections with likeminded players of casual games”.

“Pokerist’s incredible reach and long lasting legacy, provides KamaGames with a unique view into the social casino ecosystem. As part of the game’s 6 th anniversary, we wanted to really focus on the mind-set and understand the psychology of the player. We have found that a vast number of our players use the game to not just play poker but also – and in some regions mostly – to interact with other players. We were absolutely amazed to see that over the past 6 years over 4 billion player-to-player chat messages were sent at the table, 1.3 billion private messages were sent between players, over 200 million new connections were made and a staggering 500 billion gifts were sent between our players”.
