Online Poker Monopoly Overlooked by Players

I am sure it is not surprising for you to read the following words:


The biggest poker sites on the internet are PokerStars, Fulltilt Poker and Party Poker.


These sites have far more traffic, the traffic on these sites compared to smaller networked sites is just beyond belief and it isn't because of anything special other then the T word being TRAFFIC. If few by few players played on smaller sites this would change. Remember: There once wasn't a single person playing on the online giants! Not one! People say 6000 players isn't enough traffic when it's plenty enough. Once the likes of FTP and PS had NONE!


What does bring the traffic to these sites other then a ton of money they now have due to being one of the first, which they use to market and promote largely? They do not have better games, better support, better promotions and better software. If we looked closely the benefits of playing on these sites are far from great to be honest - other then the obvious fact that more traffic = bigger payouts in tournaments. On the other side - The competition is stiffer, there are many more entrants to beat in tournaments to be able to make a good buck (smaller sites offered non stop guaranteed tournaments which can equate to the same prize money - more actually).


Really, the benefits appear to be on smaller sites! So why do we all keep going back to the giants?


Reputation is one reason, lets face it though there have been scandals on bigger sites and we know it. The smaller sites are not in the position to scam anyone, they can simply not afford to! There have been some dodgy small sites that ripped people off. I am talking NETWORK skins though. Merge, Cake, Poker Network, ELG just to name a few of the networks which have skins.


Sure it is my job to sell the fabulous benefits of playing on feltstars.com but this blog is not about selling feltstars but more so showing that the more players that spread their funds across multiple smaller sites, the more we as players are going to have on offer.


Compare these signup and promotions at the moment between a MAJOR SITE and a Network SKIN, now really compare and if you didn't know the names PS and FTP who would you choose?


Skin:


Major Site:
  • 100% signup bonus up to $600
  • The other promotions do not really apply to smaller, casual or lower limit players
  • There are leagues
  • VIP Points System
  • Rakeback Available
  • Cash Freerolls with over 3000 players

As for support, skin has live support and major site takes 4 days.

I think that should answer who we should be supporting. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer is a true saying when industries monopolize. In my opinion when players wake up to the fact they can make a ton of money on small sites, the players will be the ones winning with more and more suitable promos being thrown about by all sites.
