Traffic Report: Nevada Online Poker Market Still Below Ultimate Poker's Early Peak
Key Takeaways
  • Nevada market has failed to regain maintain an upwards momentum and its peak remains in the past.
  • Ultimate Poker and WSOP have been plagued by technical problems limiting access.
  • Such teething problems should disappear and the market move rapidly in the direction of analyst expectations.

Despite the launch of WSOP.com and the seasonal growth that poker markets traditionally expect at the end of the Summer, the Nevada market has failed to maintain an upwards momentum.

As the graph below shows, traffic peaked soon after Ultimate’s launch, with a 7-day average of 225 concurrent cash game players at the end of May.
