PokerStars on FanDuel Tops US Online Poker — Can It Keep the Lead?

PokerStars on FanDuel has led the US regulated online poker market since its launch, pushing WSOP Online to second place. According to the latest data compiled on PRO DB, FanDuel Poker’s big advantage is in cash games. It has averaged almost 300 concurrent cash game players since it launched on April 1. WSOP Online has a daily average of 10,600 MTT entries in the last 30 days. PokerStars on FanDuel's PRO Score today sits at 243, just ahead of WSOP (232), BetMGM (212) and BetRivers (158).

BetRivers Poker has grown 8% in the month, despite the new competition. The launch of the new platform has not been without its challenges; players have reported a variety of issues since its debut, including geo-location problems and software bugs.

For PokerStars, it will be looking to consolidate its position and grow a consistent tournament offering to keep it at the top of the market. Ignite Series is a big spend for the operator and should attract a lot of tournament players; they’ll be looking to convert these players to their regular weekly schedule and build a strong foundation.
