RE:Is no one worried about Party Poker?Firing on all cyclinders? More like sputtering. I guess you missed the 60k overlay they recently had.
Majority of the traffic PS lost were grinders they were paying enormous rake back to just to sit at their tables. The entire Supernova system they had was so flawed it was costing them millions just to hold onto these players. This is not a good business model going forward and these are not the type of players you want as an investor.
Im far less concerned about poker and more interested in casino/sportsbetting. That's where the larger profit margins are.
With that said, shared liquidity in Europe will strengthen their brand. They still have yet to set foot into India or Asia and I won't even mention the U.S. market that will eventually come into play in the coming years.
Worldwide player traffic with Party Poker is minimal compared to Stars. It's like 1/2 of the total traffic PS receives from the French market.
Also so keep in mind not all of PS games show player traffic so if you're using a site like pokerscout it's very misleading.
