Winamax and Pokerstars have shared dominance of the French online poker market but PartyPoker and iPoker have been making some good gains lately. More Full Tilt repayments set to be made soon.

Worldwide online poker traffic posted a 2% increase this week over last week, as the busier late summer and fall season starts to kick off.

Overall traffic showed a gain of 2% this week, thanks to a 3% increase in PokerStars’ traffic. Advancers led decliners by 6-4, showing that the increase was broad based as well.

Overall online poker traffic fell for the fourth week in a row, this time by a full percentage point.  Year over year, traffic is still down 15% from where it was this time a year ago.

Online poker traffic overall experienced a drop for the third consecutive week, although this week the decline was only by a half a percentage point, so this isn’t particularly meaningful.
