Online poker<\/strong> may be heading for another surge this year, says Pokerfuse<\/strong>, an industry watch websites, which specializes in analyzing data, and providing insight into the poker industry as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Pokerfuse, with a covid-19 lockdown now in force in Europe<\/strong>, online poker may once again turn out to be the beneficiary, so much in fact, that results are already signaling an oncoming upsurge of poker activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the website’s analysis of data provided by GameIntel<\/strong>, France<\/strong>, b, Portugal<\/strong> and Italy are already registering significant spikes in the number of online players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first three countries, that spike is 30%<\/strong> and Italy is trailing the pack with 18% <\/strong>uptick in activity. The period that this applies to the past two weeks, Pokerfuse informs. As of November 5, the dot-com cash game traffic is up to 15,601 players<\/strong>, higher than the sub-15,000 players in early August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A big spike in activity is usually the result of seasonal trends, Pokerfuse informs and is typical for November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, what is traditionally a good spell for online poker now coincides with a second lockdown in Europe, in response to increasing covid-19 numbers, which could give online poker another brisk jolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
