The final numbers are in for the states in America that offer licensed and regulated online poker. The revenue reports show the good and the bad, all of which turns out to be a fairly standard story for this still-burgeoning industry in the US.
Overall, the good is that the four states that offer online poker as a part of a larger igaming scheme showed an increase in overall igaming revenue .
