After opening back up to the US market, Merge Gaming has seen its traffic shoot up 21 percent over the past two weeks. Merge is home to such big name online poker brands as Lock Poker, Carbon Poker and Sportsbook.com’s Internet poker arm.

Following an eight week absence from the top 10 trafficked global online poker rooms, Merge returned and sits in the number 10 spot this week.

Overall Web poker traffic declined 1.2 percent over the past week.

• Microgaming Network passed Winamax.fr to retake eighth place.

• Merge Gaming Network flew past iPoker.it to end the week one notch higher in 11th, and has since rejoined the top 10.

• PeoplesNetwork.it edged ahead of IPN and into 14th place.
