$102,831,439 wagered in online poker rooms

$102,831,439 wagered in online poker rooms in the last 24 hours. Over 55,000 players playing at 9:44PM EST... PokerPulse.com

The above quote is from big slick news.

Across all sites and all limits, what percentage of wagered funds is dropped in rake?

If it is 3% (my guess), then all poker sites combined are grossing about $3 million dollars a day.

All I know is I wish I could get in on the money! Its hard to calculate the average number of tables playing at once.

Say it was 1500 tables at party, playing 50 hands/hr (1440 hands/day), with average rake of $1 from each pot? (might be a low average) gives you around 2 million in rake!

Is this way off?

[Rudbaeck]

Yeah, a decent guesstimate is that Party+skins rake something like $50-$100 million a month.

Not sure why this thread was bumped after over a month, but I saw 54,000 players on Party alone last night.

Most of these were not REAL money players though.

On Planetpoker, you'll see a msg like "$5,678,901 money in play". I use to wonder first (in 2000-01 time), later I found that's including play money. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Don't look at me.
My records show that I didn't play on that day.
