Online poker traffic, Seals With Clubs, Party Poker Loyalty

Online poker traffic

Overall online cash game numbers were down to the fourth consecutive week, although this week the market industry only lost a scant 0.1%. In spite of the overall small loss, 7 out of the 10 top sites were up, with only 3 posting a loss of profits.

Compared to the week a year ago, the count remains steady once again at down 13%. So with weeks consecutively as of this number the marketplace is a least treading water year over year.

The top 10 rankings remain unchanged from yesterday. The most noteworthy event soon is Bodog’s now pulling up very close to third place iPoker after moving up from fifth to fourth the other day. They now spend time at 1900 average cash game players to iPoker’s 2000. They are already at an in history high ranking and so are threatening to look even higher.

Bodog’s closest competitor among U.S. facing sites is Merge, in eighteenth place with only an average of 575 players.  Bodog is now offering more players than all of its other competitors combined.  So Bodog isn’t just maintaining its dominance with this market, it is becoming more dominant.

Seals With Clubs Goes Down, Gets Reborn

After seeing their head seal, Chairman Brian Micon, please take a good clubbing by Nevada Gaming Commission authorities, who raided his home and led him away in handcuffs, it was enough to bring for an end the current incarnation on this site.

It’s that's doubtful this kind of good idea to own an offshore poker site and reside in the United States, but Micon has finally seen the mistake of the and has now relocated for the far more friendly locale of Antigua.

The price paid here was the corporation, who had previously been brought down with that, together to cease operations.  Players have until May 5 to request their final withdrawals from the poker site, after which it will have dirt thrown onto it.

The great news for bitcoiners is the fact that Seals with Clubs continues to be brought back alive under the name SwCPoker which is now ready to go, and it is doing quite nicely already with regards to traffic.  In spite from the name though it is a new site and players must register and deposit anew.  However the idea of the site remains quite definitely alive and kicking and will carry on.

Party Poker Launches Some Loyalty

Party Poker is looking to get more aggressive with its loyalty program, and has just made some changes with it which help it quite a bit easier because of their players to maneuver up VIP loyalty levels.  The level of loyalty points isn’t changing, though the requirements for each and every level has, which can be something which should prove quite popular with their more active players particularly.

In addition, to help you launch this new and improved loyalty program, they've got also rolled out a brief term promotion referred to as the Loyalty Launcher, wherein while the promotion runs, players can earn approximately 50% more loyalty points than usual.

So far, all of this hasn’t had high of an impact whatsoever on Party Poker’s cash traffic numbers, which can be up, but only by 5%. However, since their improvements aren’t just a short term deal, this might provide a great deal larger and more lasting dividends after a while, since the word gets out countless they get more players from competing sites, at the very least that’s anticipation.
