From its opening in late 2019 through early 2021, PokerStars PA enjoyed monopoly access to the Pennsylvania online poker market. Over that time, the operator built a loyal base of players. Even with new operators entering the space in 2021, the first poker provider in the state remains the biggest by quite a large margin.
PokerStars has held a dominant spot in Pennsylvania since it began in Nov 2019—but that was easier during a period where it had a de facto monopoly. When BetMGM PA , and later Caesars/888 through its WSOP PA brand, stepped into the market in Q2 and Q3 of this year, they were looking to take at least some of those established players from the big dog.
The numbers would seem to show a different story, however. Cash game traffic and revenue for PokerStars PA have been relatively stable since the new operators came in, and the new operators have done little to close the gap with the Mount Airy affiliated online poker client.
In the last 90 days, cash-game traffic for PokerStars has remained steady between 200 and 250 concurrent players. There was only a single day that traffic dropped below the 200 level, while it peaked near or above 250 three times.
In contrast, BetMGM Poker PA and WSOP PA haven’t been able to find 100 concurrent players between them since they launched. Neither new operator has managed to hit 50 users on any day since they opened, though WSOP PA has a shorter history, and has competed well with new rival BetMGM since the former came on the scene in early July .
