2008 was an extremely successful year for Poker Stars and its been reported that they now hold a 35% share of the entire online poker market.
PokerScout.com owner Dan Stewart has stutied traffic numbers at poker sites since 2007 said “That market share is the highest it’s ever been for PokerStars”
Other competing brands such as Full Tilt have also witnessed increased traffic and player numbers however other smaller operators have not been so fortunate.
It will undoubtedly be a difficult year for many online poker sites with many struggling to attract large numbers of new players, and if Poker Stars continue their impressive growth this year will prove even more challenging.
