PRINTING MONEY : PartyPoker\'s Profits...
I was thinking the other day about how much cash these poker sites must be raking in.... I was wondering HOW MUCH exactly.
Figured I'd do some rough analysis.... ASSUMPTIONS: • You can get 40 hands per hour in without too much effort...it's low but we'll use it. • Low Limit Tables can pull ~$100/hr in rake... Micros around $50/hr • NL tables are capped so we'll assume $100/hr there as well. Now... there are typically around 30k people playing there at any given time...that's about 3000 active tables (under assumption...but simplified for round number sake). Figuring a mix of around 20% micro limit and 80% mid/upper/no limit, that puts the table split at 2400 tables earning $100/hr and 600 tables earning $50/hr Overall by these calculations, Partypoker is raking around: • $250,000 per HOUR, or • $5 MILLION per day or • $2 BILLION per year I might have made some false assumptions here in which case, please correct me.... however, these numbers have to at least be CLOSE to accurate...no? |

They make a crapload for sure. I wonder why they see the need to have the highest rakes at 5.00 and 12.00 pots?

You forgot to subtract 200 lots of $0.06 per hour to pay their support team.

No way they are earning that much, but the owners and higher positions probally sleep on a bed of money.

How much do they pay in rake back to affiliates?
Also, aren't play money tables included in the total player count that they advertise? |

Re: PRINTING MONEY : PartyPoker\'s Profits...
If they include sng's and multis in their player/table counts then yes your figures are probably off.
Regardless, they're making some serious jack. Had a buddy playing 100NL there the other night and he saw through pokertracker that he had paid $143 in rake in a little over 1 1/2 hours.I watched him and he was playing tight.

According to eGamingReview PP was expecting a $500 million profit in 2004 in december. Their only real expense got to be commercials.
