Highest Player Volume - Poker Room Ratings

This page ranks the largest online poker rooms in the world by the number of real-money players during peak hours.

Our overall ranking of the highest player volume is based on three separate criteria: number of ring-game players, number of tournament players, and the amount wagered.  This way, the rooms with more high and mid-stakes games will get relatively high scores as their betting volume is a lot higher.

A high player volume is good for a number of different reasons.  For starters, it means that you will always be able to find lots of poker games running at all times, no matter what day or time it may be.  In poker rooms with low player traffic you may have to wait for some time to get any playing in, especially outside ofpeak hours.

High player traffic also means there is good game variety.  If you are playing badly at one table, you can easily switch to another one and play against opponents that may suit your playing style a bit better.  Poker sites with high traffic numbers usually have both really strong players and very weak players playing at their tables. Good table selection is very important, and normally the poker room lobby provides you with all the statistics you can use to make an informed decision about where to play.

In a poker room with lots of games running you can also try different variations.  You might, for example, get tired of Texas Hold'em, and want to play some Omaha or Seven-Card Stud instead.

High player traffic also makes your money management a lot easier, since you will be able to switch limits whenever you feel the need to do so. You might feel that the competition at a certain levels are too hard, and that you need to step down, or you might feel that you need to step up to be able to play the game more seriously. In any online poker rooms with low player traffic, the action is often very concentrated to a certain type of game and a certain skill level, normally low-stakes No-Limit Texas Hold'em.

In summary, high player traffic is one of the most important factors to consider when you are choosing where to play online poker, regardless to if you are a tournament player or if you prefer ring games.  With the help of StartYourBankroll.com's "Best Traffic" toplist, you will be able to find a poker site with loads of games and variety as well as suitable competition.
