Key Takeaways

The weak state of the global cash game poker market is evident in statistics for PokerStars’ dot-com site, which show the world’s largest poker room has reached its lowest point in three years.
However, a number of caveats should be attached before conclusions can be drawn from the data.
The previous low point was in July 2012, shortly after the Spanish market segregated itself from the global liquidity pool. PokerStars players in Spain were moved onto the pokerstars-spain.
The global market has seen a drop off in cash game traffic over the last two years, so keeping traffic above that mark for so long might well be described as an achievement.
