Winning Poker Network now Top 5 online poker network worldwide

Winning Poker Network and its partner sites (major is Americas Cardroom) today jumped ahead of the competition outperforming iPoker, PartyPoker and MPN to become the 5th largest online poker network worldwide and #2 in the United States according to traffic reporting site PokerScout.com.

'We’re thrilled to make our way into the top 5 global poker sites, but we’ve got our eyes set on #1,” stated Winning Poker Network spokesperson Michael Harris. “As we head into 2017, we’re going to put some serious effort into making our network the absolute best in the world and the most attractive place to play on the planet.'

Around two years ago, Winning Poker Network found itself in the 46th spot on leading online poker ranking site PokerScout.com. With a focus on player-centric promotions designed to build its community, Winning Poker Network slowly moved up the ranks. It was in March of this year that Winning Poker Network rocketed itself into the top 10 global online poker sites.

Chief among those player-centric promotions was a serious focus on tournament series. Through its growing list of partner sites that includes Americas Cardroom, Winning Poker Network hosted nine separate tournament series in 2016 alone.

With each series, Winning Poker Network pushed the guarantees higher and successfully beat those guarantees thanks to a growing player community that continued to respond in droves.

The year ahead promises to be even bigger. According to Harris, Winning Poker Network plans to double its marketing efforts and promotional offering, making the online poker network even more attractive to players in the United States and around the world.

But before the year closes, online poker players have a lot to look forward to. On December 7th, Winning Poker Network is hosting OSS VIII, the eighth installment of its popular Online Super Series. The series features over $3 million in guaranteed prize money, including the next Million Dollar Sunday, a $1 million guaranteed online poker tournament.

What’s more, early next year, Winning Poker Network will launch its highly anticipated Sit & Go 2.0 game. The new concept debuted at this year’s Punta Cana Poker Classic and has already created a lot of buzz across the industry.
