PokerStars was among three sites in the top 10 that witnessed a slight gain, increasing its traffic by 2.5 percent after a sharp decline last week. Stars up and down traffic has been attributed to big time promotions in recent weeks. This week the poker site is celebrating 10th anniversary with freerolls and a $10 deposit bonus.

Meanwhile, PokerStars French website continued surpassing its Italian version.

PartyPoker dropped 4% despite its ongoing World Domination promotion, a Monopoly-like system in which players collect 72 different cities to earn rewards. PokerScout.com noted.
