Online poker numbers are in and iPoker seizes #2 spot

written by: Steve under News Comments: Comments Off

Since Black Friday there has been little doubt about who the #1 poker site in the world was, as PokerStars seems to have a complete monopoly on the industry at the moment. But unlike before Black Friday the #2 spot is completely up for grabs. Before the US DOJ actions on April 15th there was a clear #2 online poker room in Full Tilt Poker, but the site’s fall from grace has left the door open for many contenders looking to claim the #2 spot.

Since Black Friday the #2 spot has been switching hands between Party Poker and the iPoker Network; until Party Poker seized control and had been maintaining the #2 spot over the past few months. However, the most recent weekly update from the tracking site www.pokerscout.com has iPoker back in the #2 hole, once again leapfrogging Party Poker.

The report came out on November 21st, and shows PokerStars still way out in front with nearly 6x more traffic than its nearest competitors, followed by the iPoker Network, Party Poker, 888 Poker, and the OnGame Poker Network.

The few US-Friendly online poker rooms/networks have been holding steady, with the Merge Gaming Network still the largest coming in at #10 on PokerScout.com’s list, Bodog at #12, the Cake Poker Network at #21, the Everleaf Poker Network at #26, and the Yatahay Poker Network at #32.
