The highly respected poker information site, pokerlistings.com has reported the sad death of Andreas Oscarsson, its founder, who died violently whilst visiting his childhood home in Sweden.

Full details of the suspected murder are sketchy; it appears that he was found in his bed with a gunshot wound to the head on August the third in Trollhättan, western Sweden.

“For all of us who began building PokerListings with Andreas several years ago, he was a close friend and we will miss him dearly,” said a statement from Pokerlistings. “Andreas left the operational side of PokerListings just over two years ago, shortly after the birth of his son, and had moved into an advisory role, drawing on his vast experience to lead the current team when needed.

He was a great source of inspiration and energy to anyone he encountered – at least if you were on the same side of the fence (for those on the other side of the fence, he was a tough negotiator and a worthy, highly respected opponent).

Andreas was a very generous person to those close to him, a brilliant internet marketing guru and a savvy business entrepreneur – always looking to break new ground, and break new records.

He was a true pioneer within the industry; his vision with PokerListings.com was to build a world-leading online gambling company. We shall not let him down, and will bring his vision all the way to the finish line in honor of his memory – you can take that to the bank.

Those of us who knew him well would say that most of all he was a warm and loving father. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Andreas’ son, family & friends.”

Reports show that Oscarsson was visiting Sweden when someone broke into the family home and shot the entrepreneur. The motive for the attack remains uncertain however it has been suggested that ‘concrete threats’ had been aimed towards him.

According to reports from eGaming Review, the USA is still the largest online poker market despite US legislative restrictions.

Poker Players Research (PPR) a leading poker market research company as found that there are still over 10million real money US online poker players, despite the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIEGA) which was passed in 2006.

The findings show that there are more than five times the amount of US players than legal UK players, who have the second highest market share consisting of 1.9 million people. Germany comes in third with a market share of 1.6million, before France in ‘fourth place’ with 1.3 million players. Even mature market, Scandinavia has 1.4 million real money players.

Half of America’s market share is taken by PokerStars and Full Tilt as they have continued to operate in the US despite the legislative battles. This decision seems to be at the expense of operators such as PartyGaming who left the country after settling with the authorities in April for $105m.

However, PartyGaming took a calculated risk by paying off the authorities as it may mean that they can re-enter the market if the American market becomes regulated. Although, 888 doesn’t look like it’s moving towards a settlement with the US Department of Justice.
