Pokerstars.com broke an online poker traffic record yesterday, becoming the first online poker site to reach 20,000 simultaneous real money ring game players. According to the site, Partypoker's record was 16,960 players in 2006, shortly before they closed their doors to American players. So what does the future hold for online poker in 2008? Who knows........But no matter what happens, the online poker industry will continue to adapt and thrive, and there is nothing that anyone in Washington can do about that. :) About Pokerstars: U.S. players can use ePassporte at Poker Stars for immediate credit card deposits or verified checking account deposits. ePassporte works just like NETeller.
