- partypoker faces decline, cutting affiliates and promotions.
- Global traffic dips, dropping below five figures.
- Affiliate deal slashes signal potential top-ten exit.
- Technical issues persist, impacting fast-forward cash games.
- Strategic shifts, fewer promotions impact partypoker’s legacy.
partypoker is treading in shallow waters as its steady decline throughout the last few years continues. On November 2, it was made public on their discord server that affiliate deals had been reduced significantly.
Members also reported that other major promotions, such as the DiamondClub VIP program and leaderboards, had also been reduced. This is a direct result of the decreasing traffic on the global platform, which has been heavily affected by the focus on regulated markets by exiting grey markets throughout the last few years.
The overall traffic, including cash games, tournaments, and sit-and-go, dropped below five figures as the operator fell way behind other major sites such as WPTGlobal, Winamax, the iPoker network, and even 888Poker. As of lately, the 30-day moving average of concurrent cash game players dropped to fewer than five hundred, according to data provided by GameIntel.
