Canada.-March 16, 2018 www.zonadeazar.com [1] The Stars Group has reported incremental growth in its online poker vertical despite tough regulatory pressures throughout 2017 and the flourishing online casino and sports vertical that continues to exert a cannibalizing effect on the business.
Total revenue from online poker hit $234.4 million in Q4 2017, up 8% year-over-year. The year finished at $877.3 million, beating out 2016 by 4%.
While a large part of these gains were due to favorable currency fluctuations with the dollar weakening against the Euro, on a constant currency basis, Q4 was still up 2%, and the year finished up a single percentage point.
