Canadian online gambling operator Amaya Gaming says it remains focused on developing its new verticals despite the intense media spotlight resulting from its absent CEO’s legal problems.

On Monday, Amaya released its results for the three months ending March 31, during which revenue rose 6% to $288.7m, adjusted earnings rose 8.7% to $123.4m and net earnings from continuing operations more than doubled to $55.5m.

It should be noted that this is the first report in which Amaya reported numbers in US dollars, and all comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.

Amaya’s flagship PokerStars brand continued to set the pace, as poker accounted for 75% of real-money online revenue, while casino and the new BetStars sports betting product claimed a combined 21% share. Notably, that split was 89/6 in the same quarter one year ago.

Auditors of daily fantasy sports operator FanDuel have expressed “significant doubt” about the company’s future if more US states determine it is an illegal gambling operator.

The Edinburgh-based FanDuel recently released its annual report, which showed the company enjoyed record revenue of $87.7m in the 18 months ending June 30, 2015. However, pre-tax losses came to $94.9m, compared to a loss of only $11.3m in its previous report.

FanDuel blamed the escalating losses on its decision to “significantly” boost its marketing and product development, while insisting that the company’s financial reserves – which fell from $274m to $47.8m as of June 30 – are sufficient to see it through the coming year.

FanDuel defended its spending by noting that its paid active player base had quintupled to 1.25m by June 30, and said the investments it had made would “drive the future success and growth of the group with due consideration of the ongoing litigation issues.”

Poland may legalize online poker if the country’s deputy prime minister has his way.

On Sunday, Jarosław Gowin (pictured), Poland’s deputy PM and Minister of Science and Higher Education, held a press conference to offer details on how his Poland Together party would like to amend the country’s 2009 Gambling Act.

The ruling Law and Justice party has yet to deliver its overdue draft of a new gambling bill and Gowin stressed that his proposals were his own, not the government’s. However, Gowin expressed hope that his plans would gain broad support in the Polish parliament.

Gowin is proposing that the current 12% tax on sports betting turnover be replaced by a 20% tax on betting revenue, and 10% of the government’s tax take should be shared with the Polish Olympic Committee and problem gambling initiatives.
