Poker Stars makes it to the Guinness Book of World Records for having the maximum number of online poker players. This is while all the land based casinos are complaining of declining business. It just seems that players who cannot afford to play in land based casinos are moving away to poker sites online. Poker Stars has done enough homework to tap the resource of poker players to their site while all others were complaining of recession and declining business.
Per proper verification of Poker Stars records by the Guinness Book of World Records on September 6, 2009, Poker Stars had the most numbers of online poker players. Poker Stars have been ever ranked for having the maximum number of players around in the past and new records indicate that the site has broken their own records.
On September 06, 2009, when the WCOOP was up and running in full force, PokerStars recorded to have 307,016 players in the tournament inclusive of cash games and free poker games which were being organized in the site. The players who were playing in around 42,814 tables were verified by Guinness record-keepers and the new number broke through the past records by over 100,000 players.
The major competitor for Poker Stars is Full Tilt poker. Both of these sites organized online poker tourneys in an attempt to break the record for having the maximum number of players in the largest online poker tournament that have been ever organized. There were a total of 65,000 players for their record-breaking attempt at Poker Stars and there were 50,000 players at Full Tilt Poker. PokerStars had a total of 200,000 players when all the actions at the site were simultaneously accounted for.
Following this, the most recent world record for PokerStars for maximum online players was due to the WCOOP along with the other events in the site. It is expected that this number will stick on to them for quite sometime. And it is nice to see that online poker rooms are doing better than their land based counter parts. Gaming has indeed not lost its charm.
