This taxonomy builds on work by Parke et al. (2013) and suggests that the structural features of payment, randomly determined outcomes, game platform and gambling centrality be used to differentiate between online games. The proposed terms and definitions are intended to contribute to and further the debate across the relevant fields and industries and between stakeholders. The proposed taxonomy is necessary because the popularity, diversity and application of online games have increased rapidly, resulting in existing classifications becoming increasingly less effective at distinguishing between types of online games (Downey, 2012). The fields of gambling and gaming are rapidly converging as gaming operators begin offering gambling products and as gambling operators use social games as stand-alone products as well as marketing opportunities. Discussion about social casino games between policymakers, regulators, professionals in the gambling and gaming industry and researchers is hindered by a lack of consistently used terminology and definitions. Policymakers are struggling to appropriately react and respond to changes with a potential mix of under- and over-regulation, which have significant implications for the gambling and gaming industry, with many companies heavily invested in social casino games. Researchers also must use consistent terminology to allow the field to advance towards a greater understanding of the similarities and differences between gamblers and social casino game players. It is also critical to consider game users and the extent to which consumers can differentiate between social casino games and gambling products. It is hoped that the proposed taxonomy will provide the necessary foundation for future research programmes and regulatory responses.

Juicy Stakes has two sections for you to switch between - a poker room and an online casino. We like that it keeps its poker games separate from the rest of its table games (of which there are over 350), and it’s super easy to flick between the two (plus, your accounts are linked).

PokerStars is by far the biggest name in online poker. They’ve led the online poker community for 20 years running, and continue to host the biggest online poker events in the world. However, Stars is still a great place for small-stakes players to hone their craft and work their way up.
