Poland has a long and vibrant history of gambling, dating back to the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th and 17th centuries. Gambling was highly popular among nobles and was the mainstay of the Polish nobility, who used the high stakes to increase their standing. Even during the Soviet era, poker remained a popular pastime in Poland, as they were forbidden from travelling to casinos outside the country and had to make do with private games.
Today, poker is still a popular pastime in Poland, with casinos, poker rooms, and online poker sites catering to a variety of different players. Online poker has grown in popularity, both in terms of new players and established veterans, and there are a number of different online poker sites in Poland offering a wide range of poker games.
