Merge Poker Network grew 7 percent since opening doors to US players

Carbon Poker is hosted on the Merge Poker Network, which recently decided to accept new US players once again, boosting its numbers by 7 percent in one week.

Since the Merge Poker Network has once again become open to new American players sign-ups its traffic grew by over 7 percent in just one week. This trend naturally reveals just how much US players are hungry for legal online poker.

Independent online poker monitor, Pokerscout, comments: "The much-anticipated move came mid-week, so the 7 percent weekly gain only captures part of the upswing. Day-by-day comparisons indicate that the true traffic increase has been closer to 15 percent so far. Merge has now moved back in front of Bodog to reclaim the title of the largest US-friendly player pool."

However, not everything is great on the online poker scene as total poker traffic dropped 5 percent compared to the same time period last year. Just a few sites have seen a notable increase in members. Pokerscout also noted: "This is a significant departure from historical patterns and may indicate at least a temporary downslide in poker's popularity worldwide."

Carbon Poker is naturally among those members of the Merge Poker Network that now accept new US players. Despite its relatively small size the poker room hosts some of the hottest poker action in the industry and is a great place for amateur poker fans to brush up on their skills.
