Key Takeaways
- Compared to the neighboring state of New Jersey, PokerStars PA generated four times more revenue that PokerStars NJ.
- November numbers from Pennsylvania stack up well against any month in New Jersey’s history.
- No November in New Jersey history has been higher than Pennsylvania’s on a pro format basis.
- There is every reason to believe PokerStars will generate significantly more revenue in December.
The November revenue numbers published by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reveal that PokerStars PA generated just under $2 million in online poker revenue after its first month of operating its licensed online poker room in the state.
PokerStars is the first operator to launch online poker in Pennsylvania, going live on November 4 for a soft launch before coming fully online on November 6, expanding the PokerStars USA presence.
Despite this being only a partial month, the figures demonstrate a very strong start, supporting early cash game figures that indicated a better-than-expected launch for the state’s first online poker room.
