Online Poker Traffic has Full Tilt Catching Up

While PokerStars remains light years ahead of its closest competition in the world of online poker, Full Tilt Poker is in a much better position now compared to where PokerStars was when they once went up against PartyPoker (pre prohibition days).  Party once occupied 50 percent of the US online poker market by itself.  They were twice the size of their next biggest competitor, which at that time was PokerStars.  Today, PokerStars and Full Tilt reign supreme following PartyGaming's exodus from the US market.  Full Tilt is in much better shape to compete head-on with PokerStars however. 

On Monday night, PokerStars had only 500 more real cash players in their room than Full Tilt Poker (26695 vs. 21180). 

The next biggest online poker room had nowhere near the business of either Full Tilt or PokerStars.  iPoker and Party both had around 2000.

Full Tilt needs a little more catching up to do when it comes to their weekly averages.  PokerStars had 27400 real cash players average for the week while Full Tilt had 16200.
