The tiny state of Delaware has seen their monthly iGaming net revenues for August increase by 54% year-on-year, but online poker shows a 7% spiral south.

Planet Poker, do you remember them?

It was 1998 when Randy Blumer launched the first real-money online poker site. Mike Caro packed up his Book of Tells and joined as an ambassador.

Few, if any, new online poker players will have heard of Planet Poker, but without them making the first dirty footprints in the settled cyber soil of the online poker world, things would look a tad different today. And I think about that when I chuckle at the online poker revenue numbers that show up on the Delaware Lottery iGaming monthly financial wrap sheet.
