Disappointing FY 2017 online gambling performance in Delaware

The Delaware State Lottery, which oversees online gambling in the state, has posted disappointing full year results for 2017, reporting that the market declined 18 percent year-on-year, delivering revenues of just under $2.4 million.

By contrast, New Jersey online gambling revenues in 2017 reached $245 million and maintained a monthly revenue level above $20 million for much of the year.

In 2016 the Delaware market showed double digit gains.

In Delaware last year slots delivered most of the online revenue at $1.57 million – 10 percent lower than the preceding year. Table games followed suit, earning slightly less than $559,000 – down 28 percent year-on-year. Poker delivered $231,000 in revenue – down 38 percent y-o-y to complete a dismal picture despite almost five years of legalisation.
