You can track the number of persons online at any time through www.pokerpulse.com, and if you contact them they may be willing to supply you with historical data that displays the growth of online poker. As to the increase in the number of brick and mortar players, you'll have to get sample data from a variety of rooms you consider representative of the industry in it's entirely and then extrapolate. That would be difficult and probably inaccurate at best. Moreover, if you were to take the growth in Internet poker and apply those numbers to traditional poker rooms, you'd be even further off the mark. I guess the bottom line is that information on the growth of Internet poker can be had with some research, but I've no idea how to estimate the growth of brick and mortar poker -- though I firmly believe it is growing too.

| for a rough figure... when I started at party in june there were about 5000 players online at the peak... now there is approx 22,000. Now some portion of that are play money players but I'd assume the ratios are somewhat similar. Last year around March I believe paradise was still the biggest site, and they would boast around 3k players (not sure how many of those were play money players) | ||

| I would try pokerpulse, email them they may know something as they keep track of all the online poker sites and there stats. Just from personal experience I joined party poker in early Febuary 2003, then on average there were 300-400 real money players. Now it is something like 15-17,000. The CAGR, Compound annual growth rate is nothing short of astronomical. I saw an article stating they make 100 million a year profit, my estimates are 4-5 times that. | ||
