Default Official Poker Site/Network Tracking thread

There has been alot of speculation on how the legislation will impact the number of players on each site/network... Time to start reviewing the facts...




Raw data sourced from PokerSiteScout , with permission.

Data represents the 24 hour peak Active Real Money Ring Game seats, at each site/network.

As discussed in the Party Lockdown thread, it may take a while for any player shift to show up in the stats.

There's a slight problem with your comparison, in that you're comparing a Friday to other weekdays. Weekends (Friday-Sunday) have lower peaks than weekdays.

Here's what I posted in another thread.

[ QUOTE ]

Total peak players for the last 5 Fridays:

Date -- Players

9/8 -- 60254
9/15 -- 59293
9/22 -- 59514
9/29 -- 60250 (Fristy Friday, the bill is passed)
10/6 -- 54594
10/13 -- 52313

We're only down about 13% from pre-ban levels, but there's a lot more realignment to come.

Scout,

Regarding those Friday figures, yesterday included 10 hours or so from midnight to 10a of US players playing on party didn't it? So next Friday's figure would seem to be the best barometer yet of the numbers for both party and overall wouldn't it? Also since party has taken the step of only allowing 6 tables per player now to curtail all the canadians and euros who played more, there should be a further drop in table & player figures it would seem come next Friday.

Also I would like to ask you whether your policy is to only include a new site in your tracking by their request or not. I was wondering if some smaller sites just didn't want it known how small they were and purposefully avoid trying to have comparisons made?

BTW, great site you've got and keep up the good work.

Thanks scout... I'm aware that there is a day of week bias, which is why I plan to update this thread for a while, and why I put in the Sept max 24h peaks for comparison/baseline.

However, at the moment, the impact (both positive and negative) on individual poker sites is clearly not as great, as many predicted... we will see how this plays out in the days/weeks ahead...

As you said... "there's alot more realignment to come"...

Hi Bluff,

Scout's days are based on a west coast day... so technically 3a-10a ET were included... however, the Party 24h peak was hit at 2:03pm PT... so it is solid.

Yeah yesterday is a bad example. Use today's data with past Saturdays for something more accurate -- then again in about a week to see where most of the fishies have settled in at.

a daily updated graph with a moving 7-day average might be the the easiest...

Sniper, is the September 24h Peak a specific day in Sept, or the highest volume in any contiguous 24 hours in the entire month?

I would give it at least a few weeks before trying to gauge the effect on sites that didn't close to the US, between cashouts/transfers, people getting accustomed to new software, and people who didn't know at first that other sites were staying open.
