Poker Sites Decreasing in Traffic

While the online poker market in general continues to grow, there have been some sites that just haven’t been able to keep up the pace. Tops on the list is Bodog, which is down 33% over last year. Bodog, once the top name in online gaming, has lost some of its luster over the last year. The reason for this appears to be two fold. For starters they lost their domain name, Bodog.com, and they now appear on Bodoglife.com. A domain name change like this is bound to hurt any online gaming operation. Bodog also had some payment processor issues over the last year, which led to slow payments to players.

Other notable losers include Crypto at 28%, Cereus at 12% and Svenska Spel at 10%. Cereus poke was in the poker news seemingly all year, and not for good things. They had a super user scandal by being able to see their hole cards. These events took place at Ultimate Bet, which along with Absolute Poker make up the Cereus Poker Network.
