GGPoker Network, which became known to the world only a few years ago, has overtaken behemoth PokerStars to become the world’s largest online poker room.

The latest cash game figures, tracked by independent monitor GameIntel and available exclusively on PRO, show that GGPoker is averaging over 5000 concurrent cash game seats based on its seven-day moving average.

Meanwhile, PokerStars’ cash game traffic has dipped below 5000 at 4981, allowing GGPoker to dethrone the 15-year-long crown holder for the world’s leading online poker room.

“GGPoker hitting the top spot for cash game traffic is the result of a lot of hard work by a lot of people and, of course, a testament to the amazing community of players that call GGPoker home,” said Daniel Negreanu, global ambassador for GGPoker, in a statement issued to PRO and pokerfuse.

“We don’t rest on our laurels, we’ve reached #1 by constantly innovating and improving our games, promotions, and rewards — and you haven’t seen anything yet!” Negreanu added.
