They are low in December for the following reasons:

1. Final Exams for College Students.
2. Recreational players who budget X dollars per month to play, re-alocate for Christmas Purchases.
3. Christmas Party Season, Parents and Grandparents going to see children perform at school.

Also if you start with pre Thanksgiving numbers, Dec 25th is about 10-15% below pre thanksgiving.

Dec 25th is lower than most days in November. My point is, Dec 26th was their 4th highest day in Scout's history and the start of a surge that start to cool in mid-January a few days before Neteller left.

So numbers have been going down at the big 3 US sites, but they've only gone back down to pre-surge numbers.
