In a recent poker site popularity statistics, Pokerstars.com leads the net poker market with 25000 ?Real Cash? players. It is far in advance of nearest competition Full Tilt Poker which includes approximately 15000 ?actual money? players. Full Poker Tilt has seen a decline in the number of players inside the first few weeks of February. From 20000 average ?actual money? players the numbers have fallen to a number exceeding 15000 players. This is not a great sign to the site and there is some catching-up which needs to be done. PokerStars has moved way ahead with average numbers as high as 35000 ?real cash? players from 25000. However, there is a clear sign that this Top 2 poker rooms are way ahead of other online poker rooms. There are many features which attract players to the telltale 2 sites. Some of them are 100% bonus and large variety of players, tables and tournaments to pick from.
Some from the other sites which have less than 10000 ?a real income? players are Party Poker and ipoker. Recently iPoker was losing ground and the average amount of players had dropped to around 4700 but recently the numbers have started to pick-up indicating better performance in the site. The list of poker websites which are active is long but as we go down the list the amount of ?a real income? players reduces dramatically. The performance of an poker site is determined by marketing strategies, usability, user interface, tournaments, bonuses plus a host of additional factors.
The list of internet sites which have more than 1000 players include Ongame which has approximately 5000 players, Cereus which has around 2000 players, International at almost 5000 and MicroGaming Network about 3000. With newer technologies making the launching of the poker room much easier, your competitors among poker websites is defined to increase. However, the key chunk of internet poker revenues will continue to remain using the leading websites. Poker websites hardly reveal their earnings but the top sites generate millions of dollars in gaming money. Online poker and gaming is illegal in the United States and consequently the bankrolling of funds is here down drastically. If poker online becomes legalized within the United States you will definitely go to a huge upswing in on-line poker revenues.
In the ranking list Cake Poker, Entraction, Pacific Poker and Svenska Spel are some in the other names. Some of the websites accept US players but many among them tend not to, since online gambling is illegal in the USA. Online poker is becoming popular in Europe, Latin America and Asia and we are seeing many launches happening during these regions. With the US still undecided around the issue operators are considering other destinations where online secure poker sites is legal.
