Average cash game and peak traffic summary<\/span><\/h2>\nCash games also appear to be losing steam six weeks after the launch of shared liquidity. Technically, WSOP.com is still showing a positive trend line because it got off to a great start, but the last few weeks have been anything but positive.<\/p>\n
In our last report, WSOP.com posted a seven-day rolling average of 260. At the conclusion of this two-week period, it is posting an average of 240. While still ahead of the pre-player pool merge average of 210, that is a pretty significant drop.<\/p>\n
PokerStarsNJ and partypokerNJ are seeing a similar drop in cash game players.<\/p>\n
PokerStarsNJ is showing a flat trend, but still posted a loss of an average of 10 cash game players compared to the previous two-week period. After losing an average of 5 cash game players, partypokerNJ is showing a negative trend.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Peak traffic numbers also struggled to find some momentum over the last two weeks. partypokerNJ is the only online poker operator to show a positive trend line for the last month.<\/p>\n
The slight rebound the three operators saw in our last report was all but erased in this one.<\/p>\n
As mentioned, this past weekend was Seniors weekend at the WSOP. It was also Father’s Day and a good weekend for many players to take a mid-WSOP break and fly home. It’s hard to say if that impacted numbers but it isn’t outside of the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n

Factors that will impact U.S. regulated online poker in the coming weeks<\/span><\/h2>\nThe biggest story will continue to be WSOP.com and specifically, the three remaining online bracelet events. Also, watch for online satellites to just about every live and online WSOP event.<\/p>\n
PokerStarsNJ or partypokerNJ will continue to tread water as the WSOP continues to dominate the poker scene.<\/p>\n
U.S. online poker continues to try to build a solid foundation, but it’s not easy with only three states in the mix. Until more states come online, these reports will continue to be a mixed bag of news.<\/p>\n
With legalized sports betting just launching in New Jersey, it is too early to tell if it will negatively impact the online poker scene. Expect mobile sports betting to launch sometime mid-July. Will gamblers turn to sports betting to get their online gambling fix? It is something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n
We will talk about those stories and more in our next U.S. regulated online poker report which will publish on July 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
