PartyPoker, positioned 4th in terms of player traffic on the online poker market list among the .com rooms and networks, was joined by the Bwin poker player pool on 17 December, 2012. Following the merge, it was speculated that the room will occupy the 3rd place, taking it over from the iPoker network, but it was also assumed that taking the runner-up position was also a possibility for PartyPoker. The predictions were proven right as the room soon took over the 3rd place on the list and began to endanger the re-launching Full Tilt Poker’s 2nd place.
It appears that the takeover is happening right now: according to the latest statistics from PokerScout, PartyPoker as well as FTP showed off 3,750 players on average in the past 7 days. Moreover, PartyPoker boasted better stats in the last 1 or 2 days, which indicates that it will likely surpass FTP in next week’s accounts. The duel of the two rooms best benefits the players as both are trying to strengthen their positions by promotions.
The 4th position is occupied by iPoker: the network has recently been joined by Betfair Poker. Still, Betfair players still have access to Onhame as well, which makes it hard to calculate the growth in the iPoker traffic brought about by them. There is increase in general, though: the field has increased by 3% to a weekly average of 3,050 cash game players.
888Poker remains to be 5th with an average of 2,500 players.
The current market list of .com rooms and networks (average ring game players per week):
1. PokerStars – 24,200 players
2-3. FTP – 3,750
2-3. Partypoker – 3,750
