So you think PokerStars is dead? WRONG! Only 6562 players today in Sunday Million

Sure their volume is down, but they will be fine without US involvement. Actually now they no longer have to worry about multiple US processors.


Sure they will take a big hit, but they will be fine and now tournaments overseas will be that much more popular

[Extra Innings]

I agree....poker is a very popular game WORLDWIDE.

[VegasInsider]

Wow...that's a huge tournament. Must take 12-14 hours.

Business will boom

It was my fukin dream to play in that.

Very good post about the poker star numbers, I saw those numbers today on egaming news or on an email. I wouldn't be surprised if business booms for many poker sites throughout the summer like jj just posted, especially for European facing poker sites. Even in the US we are not going to see the loss of numbers expected, I would imagine, even a company as big as espn said they are still covering world series of poker.

I wouldn't be surprised to see alot of the poker media come through this.

still the us market was huge. It will obviously hurt

[Cuse0323]

Down a bit but that's still pretty damn good, last time I played in it there was almost 9K people.

watch all the poker houses open back up here in texas they were dead

[KKoz9]

Don't kid yourself, they were primarily a US facing poker site and it hurt them tremendously. They have had 10,000+ in that tournament regularly.

They can adapt and still be very profitable but they will never have the 100,000+ players on the site at peak times as in the last 3-4 years.

[Kaabee]

they may boom, but of course U.S. players couldn't care less

[ArunSh]

I hope PokerStars finds a way back into the US...

[muldoon]

I remember saying RIP to Pinnacle to because they couldn't survive without the US market.

[jeremythegreat]

back 2 real life poker for me

[byronbb]

[Wreckloose]

Off course it's not dead, that's why they made a deal with the DOJ so they could keep their non-US business.

[playersonly69]

I dont think that they made a deal at all. The US couldnt have done anything about their World market

[Nard Dog]

Don't they face a bunch of lawsuits? That's bigger problem imo than the number of users declining.

[ttwarrior1]

try tellling that to party poker that left the usa market, thats not even close to the number they usually have

[aceking]

their software is horrible , the sounds are so fake .

the best software is still fulltilt.
