Key Takeaways
  • Partypoker’s growth has been, at least in part, opportunistic—it is attracting players that its competitors openly discourage.
  • In online poker liquidity may be king, but it will be short-lived if the operator cannot build a sustainable ecosystem.
  • Party will certainly need a long-term outlook to realize its ambitions of returning to the glory days as the number one poker brand in the world.

It may have only been for one day, but it was a historic one for partypoker: On September 12, partypoker’s seven-day moving average of concurrent cash game activity crossed the 1400 seats mark for the first time in over two and a half years.

It also moved above 888poker. The last time partypoker was larger than its European rival was on July 6, 2013—over four years ago.
