Delaware experiences online gaming growth
The local lottery announced that they generated a 62 percent growth in 2016.
US.- The Delaware Lottery confirmed that in 2016 they generated US$3 million in online gambling revenue, 62 percent higher than the numbers reported in 2015. These figures are the highest registered since the state legalised the activity in 2013.
December experienced the state’s best performance in online gambling, a 29 percent higher than the same period in 2015, with US$300.000, and the highest revenue since August. As far as online gambling revenues are concerned, Delaware is at the bottom of the three states which offer iGaming, behind New Jersey and Nevada. Delaware is a small state and continues to lack the traffic numbers to see massive amounts when it comes to revenue earnings.
However, Delaware continues to do well with iGaming revenues, as proved by the solid increase month after month. From March to June of 2016, the state saw an increase each month as players continued to log online and take part in casino and poker games.
