The Biggest Poker Sites Online

Much of online poker traffic comes from new poker players who saw an attractive advertisement in a poker magazine or televised tournament. Thus, the veteran advertisers holding large promotions usually take in a good share of the online market. As would be expected, newer poker sites usually trail the tried-and-tested sites for top ring game and tournament traffic. While it isn't everything, offering players a huge network of tables and tournaments has the advantage of providing active tables at any limits at all times of the day. View each poker site's traffic in our online poker reviews.

#3 CHOICE
Paradise Poker is the oldest of the top 3 poker rooms and has had years to build up a loyal player base. While they had dropped out of the spotlight over the past few years, their televised Million Dollar Freeroll campaign has really skyrocketed their traffic again to regain the #3 spot.
