The World Series of Poker (WSOP) online platform, WSOP.com, has attracted record high traffic in recent months, courtesy of the hugely successful live series in Las Vegas, and the trend continues even after the festival wrapped up.
WSOP NJ/NV Cash Game Traffic Peaked to 506
WSOP’s shared liquidity network covering New Jersey and Nevada is recording a seven-day average of 472 concurrent cash seats, according to online poker tracker GameIntel. That’s up over 60% year-over-year, with the cash game traffic in 2022 peaking to just 305 after that year’s WSOP live series.
Before the start of the WSOP festival in May, the WSOP NJ/NV network was clocking 200 concurrent cash game seats. That figure doubled in the first week of July which marked the start of the WSOP Main Event and the US Independence Day holiday period.
Cash game figures hit 506 on July 14, an all-time high for the network, and the first time that traffic went above 500 since the mini-boom during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The best thing to come out of this is that the customers who played at the site during the WSOP series are still there enjoying the network’s offerings, which means the momentum has been maintained, driving growth for the network.
