Bet365 Is Killing It

 

BetRankings.com placed Bet365.com as the number two most trafficked sports betting site in Europe.  Oddschecker.com this week said they were numero uno.  No matter which way you cut it, Bet365.com is faring mighty well in the world of online bookmakers, better than both Ladbrokes and William Hill, the number one and two biggest UK bookie firms, respectively.

PokerStars.It Italian Online Poker Site Debuts At Number 7

 

The online poker monitoring website PokerScout.com has released its latest numbers and the inclusion of PokerStars.It Italian card room in the number 7 position of top worldwide rooms in terms of “real cash” players.  The site claimed to have 70248 playing at press time Monday night, which would be pretty amazing if true.  That would be more than PartyPoker’s overall traffic worldwide.  Party is currently the number three largest online poker network.

Full Tilt Poker French Card Room Debuts Below Top 20

 

With PokerScout.com now counting the French online poker rooms separate from their main entities, Full Tilt Poker, which just obtained a license to operate in France, has debuted at number 22 and averaged a rather paltry 350 “real cash” players over the past week.  That’s worse than Bodog Poker’s 610.  Of course Full Tilt Poker continues to enjoy more than three times the number of players than its closest rival (outside of number one PokerStars) PartyPoker when it comes to “real cash” players overall.

Online Poker Traffic Rises 1.3 Percent

 

With summer vacations ending, online poker traffic has managed to climb 1.3 percent during the final week of August 2010 according to PokerScout.com, which monitors “real cash” traffic.  The site points out, however, that online poker traffic overall is still down 4 percent over last year at this time.  It will be interesting to see what if any effect a massive hurricane forecast to ride along the U.S. East Coast has on playing trends this week.
