Review of Poker Pages Industry Index

Kef X-Schecter

RELATED ARTICLES

Poker Pages.com Industry Index gives you some figures and graphs that show whether tournament poker is growing or declining, and how fast. You can take a quick look at the big picture, or look deeper into details, such as how many people are buying in, or how much money people bought in for over the last 12 months. You can also sign up for a monthly newsletter.

Look
The design is pretty and functional, and the user interface is intuitive. There’s not really anything to complain about. There is only one banner ad at the top each page, and it’s unobtrusive.

Content Quality / Quality
Well, I can’t say I’m in a position to evaluate the completeness or accuracy of the information. They do say they have tracked $1 billion in buy-ins since 2000, which sounds pretty impressive. It is unfortunate that they have no data for cash games, although of course such data is much harder to collect because cash games are not so organized the way tournaments are.

Unique Pros / Cons
I’m not aware of any similar services, so it’s hard to make comparisons. The only real problem with this site is that the index isn’t updated all that frequently in today’s fast-paced world, but that’s understandable, especially with the time it can take to gather and process the data. Again, it also includes only data from tournaments, not cash games.

Bottom Line
If you’re curious about this sort of thing, why not take a look? After all, it’s free. But without data on cash games, I don’t feel that it fully represents poker — but it’s still good for what it is.

Rakeback and Free Bankrolls

PTP offers several rakeback and free bankroll offers for our viewers. If you're not familiar with rakeback, read our guide to online poker rakeback. To learn how much you could be earning with rakeback, check out our rakeback calculator. If you're ready to get started, our most popular rakeback offers are True Poker Rakeback, Cake Poker Rake Back and Carbon Poker RakeBack.

Free and no deposit bankrolls (also called free poker money) are essentially promotional deals we've arranged with rooms where they give you a small amount of money (usually $10-$150) to try out their room. These offers are a great way to get your feet wet at a room without going through the hassle of depositing, and provide players nervous about depositing at an online gambling site with a risk-free way to play poker, bingo, and other games online.
