Spain’s regulated online gambling market reported significant year-on-year revenue growth in Q1, as poker benefited from its new shared liquidity pool.

Figures released Thursday by Spain’s Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) regulatory body show total online revenue of €163.3m, up a healthy 28% from the same period last year but a 5.7% decline from Q417’s total.

Sports betting claimed slightly over half (€81.7m) of overall Q1 revenue, up 15.9% year-on-year but down 21.1% sequentially. In-play betting accounted for 62.5% of sports revenue and 67% of betting handle, while pre-game fixed-odds betting claimed 34.9% of revenue and 30.2% of handle.

Online casino revenue surged 51% year-on-year to €56.6m, with online slots claiming over half (52.7%) of the casino total. Live roulette claimed the second largest share chunk at 21.1%, followed by conventional roulette (15.2%) and blackjack (11.8%).
