There have been plenty of interesting developments in poker this year, from major tournament series to online poker updates and new promotions.
Which poker news or event has impressed you the most, and why? Do you think it will have a positive impact on the poker community or the future of the game?
I'm interested in hearing what everyone has been following lately.

There have been plenty of interesting developments, but nothing that really just jumps out and says, this is vital for the future of poker. You know, let's be honest. All the big states who are supposed to be the big dominoes to fall, still not allowing it. Places banning sites that are considered subscription sites that have been legal for 15 years, 20 years. I mean, it was great hearing that the World Series had a great run this year. But frankly, I don't think there's been really anything major altering that I can think of. I'm hoping next year goes better, but, you know, we also still have a few months left in this year, so who knows what the future may bring.

As Luv says above lots of interesting news and developments but nothing that screams life changing for the future of poker. Still got 4.5 months left in 2026 thou. Maybe a miracle happens.

Cheers!!!

The news is that nothing exciting has happened . As others mentioned, most states in the US still don't allow legal online poker .
