It might have taken two weeks of the World Series of Poker being up and running, but WSOP.com, one of the three regulated online poker sites in Nevada, has hit record highs, according to the weekly PokerScout Scouting Report. By the way, if you’re headed to Nevada, sign up for WSOP.com now and you’ll be able to start playing as soon as you touch down in Vegas.

The traffic watchdog site pointed out in its weekly piece, “So far this month, cash game traffic on WSOP.com in Nevada is soaring. The seven-day average has eclipsed the 140-player benchmark for the first time since the network went live last September. WSOP in Nevada is now on par with New Jersey’s market leader, [the]Party/Borgata Network.”

Since the WSOP started, the number of average cash game players has gradually increased on WSOP.com in Nevada, while the number of peak players has risen rather sharply. Currently, WSOP.com has a seven-day running average of 140 real money ring game players with a 24-hour peak of 339.

WSOP.com has been awarding plenty of WSOP seats in recent weeks and in previous months, including $1,500 event tickets and Main Event tickets. As PokerScout put it, “It is probably the network’s slew of cross-promotional events and widespread marketing that ultimately got players talking about the site.”

Speaking of cross-promotion, on July 5, WSOP.com Nevada is hosting a 25 Seat Main Event Scramble, a $215 buy-in tournament with 25 Main Event seats guaranteed. It’s also running a satellite to this year’s Little One for One Drop charity tournament.

At the Rio itself, a special WSOP.com “Grind Room” has been erected and players are welcome to play online poker while seated in WSOP events. Also ongoing are the WSOP.com Online Championships in Nevada and New Jersey, which run through June 15 with separate player pools.

PokerScout revealed that while traffic counts might be up, estimated rake per player in Nevada dipped by 2% at last count.

Also getting a bump, but perhaps unexpectedly, is WSOP.com New Jersey. PokerScout explained, “WSOP.com in New Jersey, which is also hosting the Online Championships, has benefited slightly from the goings-on in Nevada. The site has outperformed its rivals over the past two weeks despite some controversy over unannounced VIP program changes.” WSOP.com Nevada and New Jersey have completely separate player pools.

WSOP.com New Jersey has nearly identical traffic as its Nevada counterpart, a seven-day running average of 120 cash game players with a 24-hour peak of 262.

Real Gaming, which sponsors PocketFives’ WSOP coverage, is still in soft launch mode in Nevada. The only other regulated site that has gotten off the ground in that state, Ultimate Poker, has, according to PokerScout, been unaffected by the WSOP.
