Red Letter Day for Online Poker Site

It’s always nice to make the record books, and PokerStars.com has now taken the top spot in the online casinos poker gambling industry as having the most simultaneous players. PokerStars is a popular gambling destination for online poker players all over the world, and the latest announcement about simultaneous players goes to show that the poker site has successfully maintained a large player base even after the U.S.’s exit from the online casinos and poker industries. Scout Poker, an independent site that logs record figures from online poker sites announced that PokerStars is the first of the poker casinos to record more than 20,000 real money players on the site at one time.

This is great news for PokerStars which competes with other top online casino poker sites like Full Tilt Poker. Both Full Tilt and PokerStars were affected by the U.S. withdrawal form the online casinos poker industry, but both sites have managed to retain an extremely large player base – and that is no small feat considering that many sites went under after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

Party Poker is one of the only other online casinos poker sites to even come close to the 20,000 mark, and that was prior to the UIGEA and the site nearly reached the 17,000 player mark. Party Poker is no longer even in the running to compete with Poker Stars, and even Full Tilt has pulled ahead of Party Poker in the rankings of simultaneous players. Poker Stars managed to make the record breaking figure of 20,386 players in simultaneous real money ring poker games by the end of 2007, certainly making 2007 a red letter year for the growing online poker site.
