Online poker traffic has risen 2.2 percent and there is likely to be another increase in the coming week with PokerStars 70 billionth hand promotion continuing. The world’s largest online poker room witnessed a traffic increase of 6 percent.  Traffic also tends to increase leading up to the World Series of Poker Final Table, which will take place next week. 

The weekly statistics tell only part of the story, PokerScout.com noted. Same-day comparisons show that the true increase in PokerStars cash game traffic is more than 30 percent. 

Merge Gaming, which opened back up to the US market, saw its traffic level off in the past week after an initial gain of 21 percent.

Action Poker, while still offering a relatively small player base in the low hundreds, has seen its traffic rise 142 percent in the past year, according to PokerScout.com monitoring.
