PokerStars Traffic Decline: The Easy Bonus Effect
Key Takeaways
  • Last week Traffic Watch reported a 7% weekly decline in cash game traffic at market leader PokerStars. The fall has been largely attributed to the introduction of the lottery style SNG Spin&Go on September 30.
  • However, the cash game traffic graphs available in pokerfuse PRO Data, show that the Spin&Go impact may not be the whole story.
  • The ease of transferring balances between PokerStars and Full Tilt looks to have encouraged a temporary transfer of some PokerStars players to the sibling site, attracted by the EasyBonus offer.
