Online Poker Room Hits Fourth in Cash Games
A report from PokerSiteScout suggests that newcomer to the online poker market Everest Poker has made a fine showing of itself, reaching the number four spot online when it comes to cash poker games, or “ring games” as they are called. Everest, which caters to a European crowd, has never had US players and credits its success partially to not having to deal with the UIGEA and US poker politics. The top three rooms in cash games during the period surveyed were PokerStars, Party Poker and Full Tilt Poker, all of which are well established brands.
