bubbsboy: WGT advert states millions of people worldwide play, but i wonder what real figure is.
I've looked at a good few lists of names, and I reckon that roughly 88% of the registered accounts are non-players. Mostly Hacks or Amateurs, with a few games played to try it out, then abandoned.
So, the REAL figure? About 12% of whatever they claim.
Edit: can't find an actual number that's current. Early 2013 they claimed around 6 million, so maybe 7-8 million now? If that's right, then the number of ACTIVE players would be a bit shy of one million.
