- PokerStars Italy is holding steady at or around the 1,750 cash game player mark, while Full Tilt has seen average numbers fall 36% from around 2,500 at the beginning of the year.
- In October last year, PokerStars Italy’s Road to 5 Billion hands promotion provided a short term peak in cash game traffic that saw the Italian site enter the top five, relegating Full Tilt to sixth position.
Full Tilt’s innovative prowess has failed to stem a decline in cash game traffic that looks on course to take it out of the top five in the global rankings.
