888 Poker Overtakes Full Tilt

888 Poker continues to make waves on both sides of the Atlantic as it overtakes Full Tilt Poker to take the third spot in online poker cash game traffic and signs a deal with Wynn Casinos to offer online gambling in the US.

Poker Scout, the poker numbers tracking site, reports that over the last seven days, 888 Poker has delivered a higher average number of players at cash game tables than Full Tilt Poker. Not long ago, 888 overtook Party Poker into fourth place, and that growth has clearly continued as it now sits third, ahead of both Full Tilt and Party, though it remains some way off PokerStars at the top. Full Tilt returned in 2012 and automatically jumped straight back to second place in the rankings; however, it was clear that many players were there to test the water or withdraw their cash. Having been in a battle with the iPoker Network for some time, it finally slipped, and has now been overtaken by 888 Poker. This may be a temporary fluctuation as the large tournament series miniFTOPS is running at present, which may have drawn players away from their usual cash games.

888 Signs Deal With Wynn

There is a boost from the other side of the Atlantic as 888 and Wynn have penned an agreement which will see Wynn's online poker site sit on the 888 Holdings All American Poker Network. The Executive Chairman at the AAPN stated that the platform and ancillary services AAPN will offer through 888, coupled with Wynn's marquee brand, which is synonymous with quality and trust, will further establish our offering in the forming US regulated online gaming market. These are busy days at 888 Poker, and with the way things are moving in the US, it looks like it will only get busier.
