- iPoker and Full Tilt are now neck-and-neck in terms of online cash game traffic.
- Full Tilt’s decline is likely due in part to large promotions at sister site PokerStars.
Following a two month period of Full Tilt Poker enjoying a clear lead over the pack, the poker room is now fighting neck-and-neck with the iPoker network for the silver crown.
According to the latest 7-day moving average of cash game traffic observed by independent monitor PokerScout, (produced above via pokerfuse PRO), the two poker rooms have had an average of approximately 2400 concurrent seats filled in cash games in the last week, and the two have traded places more than once.
The steep decline in Full Tilt in the last month can be partially explained by ongoing promotions at sister site PokerStars. Though all networks have suffered some traffic decline as players flocked to the $5 million giveaway, the ability to easily move money between the two Rational Group sites means that Full Tilt was particularly susceptible to temporary traffic loss.
