Traffic Insight
Key Takeaways
  • The encouraging growth Traffic Insight reported last week evaporated entirely, with global cash game traffic falling 3.9% this week, taking the market to its lowest point of 2015.
  • Every market except Italy and Spain saw reductions in cash game traffic. The fall was general, with very few poker rooms going against trend.
  • In the US offshore market Bodog was the only room to gain traffic, which was enough to put it back into third place in the global rankings.
  • Even in Italy and Spain, the gains were almost all due to PokerStars, which has been actively promoting its regional Spring Championships of Online Poker.
