fastforward leaderboards: first-week results
The first notable result of the fast poker leaderboards was an increase in traffic. During Sunday evening, traffic reached maximum levels, which boosted the poker room to TOP4 in the PokerScout ranking. The fastforward leaderboards, which were available to all players, and the increase of the maximum number of tables, helped partypoker to surpass PokerStars.EU and Winamax traffic.
Number of connections at all fastforward stakes:
NLH
| Stake | Connections |
| NL2 | 157 |
| NL5 | 118 |
| NL10 | 135 |
| NL25 | 111 |
| NL50 | 53 |
| NL100 | 50 |
| NL200 | 39 |
| NL500 | 18 |
PLO
| Stake | Connections |
| PLO2 | 12 |

| PLO10 | 22 |

| PLO50 | 18 |
| PLO100 | 0 |
| PLO200 | 24 |
Surprisingly, the last table reveals that many of Omaha fast poker tables were seen during this first week of promotions. Two weeks ago, the Omaha fastforward lobby was almost empty, and today only PokerStars can beat partypoker in the number of connections at PLO fast poker. This comment applies to all stakes from low to high (PLO2 to PLO200); it can also be seen that the traffic at the highest NLH stakes (NL500) increased to 18 connections.
What results did players obtain at the end of the first week of the updated fastforward leaderboards?
In the following table, we summarized all the data, including the rakeback received by the players of the leaderboards, plus the VIP program of the room that gives 20% to 40%. On top of that, our players get a private rakeback deal at the room. One point in the ranking equals one rakeback point or $1 rake.

* The data on both tables were not updated by the room after the end of the race; therefore, the players actually scored a bit more points which means a slight overall decrease in rakeback.
It can be seen that even those players that just managed to get into the prize zone of any of the leaderboards experienced a significant rakeback boost. At the same time, the Table Starter promotion rewarded the first 18 players on any fastforward stake with double cashback. The traffic indicators prove that Omaha players received amazing benefits from the two promotions since only two stakes had more than 18 connections. Thus, last week, a few partypoker players received over 100% rakeback!
In our opinion, all fast poker players should take advantage of this unique opportunity; partypoker is investing a lot of money this year in poker promotions, and as with tournament overlays, this 100%+ rakeback cases could be seen as "marketing costs" as Rob Yong stated before.
