well, poker rooms should listen more players and what they expect from poker site and what they need from them! ofcourse they dont listen players in lot of things, but they are on market for player and when they take money from them, they should consider more what they want! they should at least pay licence for many countries and not to left markets because of that!

I believe that by keeping players interested this can grow much more, poker rooms do not make money when players lose money, since the games are played against other players. Poker is different from card games like blackjack, where players compete directly against the house. Rake is how poker rooms make money.

Turbo poker games are better than normal speed games imo . The blind levels should not be big , games and especially tournaments should end in a few hours , not last for eternity .
ACR has registration periods of 4 hours many times , which is ridiculous. And blind levels or 12 , 15 or 30 minutes. Games that way seem endless . Very boring .
A turbo format is more satisfactory . Not hyper but turbo is better ..instead of 10-15 minutes blind levels , make them 7 minutes , or even 5 minutes . They try to attract more players and increase their rake , that's why they make so lengthy the blind levers and LR .but on the long run they make those games boring , you stop wanting to keep on playing there . Only regs and pros and whales keep on playing these time wasting poker games .

they should listen to the players and offer a low rake environment. its probably a very difficult task since poker players are not very easy customers in general i assume.

It is very important for poker rooms to always keep poker players interested. You must keep your players active and engaged if you want to win the most money possible in your gaming sessions.

we can always make good poker, if we are brave, focused and know when to ask, check or fold. It is not difficult, as there is no point in talking about this nullity. Play poker and win. Good luck.

Need a clean confrontable environment. Friendly dealers. You also need to know your customer base and try and cater games and promotions that will keep them engaged and wanting to come back again.

Well besides NLH , it's only PLO games that have some decent traffic and can allow a poker room to have them at their cash games lobby or run such tournaments. All other formats are not so popular nowadays , not many players play them , so they struggle to get enough players for a cash game to run or for a tournament to boost its prizepool . Razz and other such low interesting formats are dying online You cannot find many players to play them , you cannot run them in all stakes . But if a poker room tries to have them on its lobby , that's good , cause some players like all variants or a specific not popular . Maybe also try to motivate players with promotions to play more other variants than only PLO or NLH . More players, more rake for the poker room .
