Delaware, the US state which was among the first to regulate and licence online gambling back in November 2013, has reported its second best month yet, posting $229,789.82 in online revenues.
Whilst not up to the rising numbers from New Jersey, the results indicate continued – if slow – progress. The best month was April 2014, when revenues of $240,762 were recorded.
On a month-to-month comparison, the February figures outshone January 2016 ($190,829) by 20 percent, but viewed on a year-on-year basis the gain is far more impressive – up 60 percent on February 2015 ($143,101).
Online table games – particularly blackjack – were again a stellar performer, bringing in revenue of $97,899.32 and completely eclipsing the $26,089 recorded in January 2016 by some 275 percent.
Video lottery delivered the lion’s share of the revenue at $103,596.45.
Online poker revenue was also up – by 7.4 percent at $28,294.05 – over January 2016, but on a year-over-year basis declined 18 percent from the $34,526 recorded in February 2015. Delaware and WSOP.com in Nevada have a shared player pool.
New player registrations in February 2016 were 378.
