Online Gaming Booming in Spain Despite Continued Struggles from Online Poker

Online gaming revenues are once again on the rise in Spain, according to the Q1 2016 report recently published by Spanish gaming regulator Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ).

Total gross gaming revenues (GGR) in the regulated Spanish online marketplace increased by 32.15 percent from €77.42 million during the first quarter of 2015 to €102.32 million in the first quarter of this year. A smaller increase of 7.97 percent took place when compared to the €94.76 million in GGR recognized during the fourth quarter of last year.

As one might expect, total customer deposits increased in a similar ratio to that of GGR.
