While the overall poker market is slightly decreasing, there are a few poker sites/networks which have outperformed the market during the past 6 months, according to traffic data provided by the networks for cash games.
The most significant traffic increase for cash games has been noticed in the case of Chico Poker Network, from an average of 500 cash games players 6 months ago to almost 580 at the moment, totalizing a 16% traffic increase. The network is recognized by being very attractive for online poker grinders as it currently has a pretty high fish vs regulars ratio, mostly coming from US recreational players who join the tables more often than in the past.
The second place in terms of cash games traffic increase is held by the Russian facing poker room, Pokerdom, which acts as an individual poker network. Pokerdom has also been on an increasing trend, experiencing a 12% boost for cash games. As they are mostly covering Russian traffic and as the room is quite a new entry on the market, they have quite grown lately mostly by attracting recreational playes in spite of focusing on improving their regulars player base.
The third emerging poker network is Winning Poker Network. Being an US friendly poker network, the off-shore poker site has been growing also by providing huge guaranteed tournaments, the most well known within the market being the 1 million dollars GTD tournament which takes place every Sunday. Therefore, the traffic for cash games has also increased, mostly by the presence of recreational players who joined the tables after playing tournaments. With a 6% traffic increase, the network has also brought 30 new players on average in terms of absolute numbers as compared to 6 months ago.
RakeAdvisory provides competitive rakeback deals on each of the above emerging poker networks. Besides the Independent Russian poker room, Pokerdom, online poker players can join Winning Poker Network by signing up the most reputable brand of the network, BlackChipPoker and have also several options for Chico Poker Network such as: Tigergaming, PayNoRake or BetOnline (who also accepts US players).
