HEADLINE: Online Poker: Absolute Poker Loses Its Edge

Body:
Falling to an unlucky number 13 in the overall world online poker market, Absolute Poker continues to lose its competitive edge despite being one of the few online poker websites to still accept customers from the United States.

The good news - if there was any - is that Absolute Poker sister site, Ultimate Bet, has fared slightly better. That poker room ranks at number 8 on the Gambling911.com Poker Traffic Monitor.

"Their search engine optimization is among the worst!" exclaimed Gambling911.com's Payton O'Brien. "How could they allow Pacific Poker to pass them? Pacific Poker had fallen off the map a few months back."

Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet are now only sending checks via regular mail, which takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks but players report receiving their checks nonetheless.

Bodog.com clings to the number 10 position but is likely to move up in the ranks now that they have added back an electronic check deposit method, considered the most popular among online poker players.

Cake Poker Network and Ladbrokes are making some serious inroads up the online poker charts. But it is PokerStars, PartyPoker and Full Tilt, respectively, who occupy the top three positions among all poker sites.
