Online poker sites in New Jersey<\/strong> just endured their very worst year for revenue in 2018. So, given the lack of activity in the market, it is possible that one or more sites could shut down in 2019.<\/p>\n New Players Get A Free Bonus At WSOP.com NJ<\/p>\n<\/div>\n New Jersey poker sites only managed to draw $21.3 million in revenue last year. That figure represents a $3 million reduction from 2017\u2019s figures.<\/p>\n In fact, $21.3 million is $2.5 million less than the market\u2019s previous nadir in 2015. Of course, in 2015, there were also only two networks active, and PokerStars<\/strong> was still a year from entering the market.<\/p>\n Two years later, only one licensee in New Jersey is making any revenue gains in online poker. It\u2019s not PokerStars, either \u2014 it\u2019s the Caesars<\/strong> license that houses both WSOP<\/strong> and the 888<\/strong> networks.<\/p>\n Alarmingly, PokerStars is not even the highest earner in New Jersey anymore. Despite the millions in marketing money poured into the state, the worldwide leader has slipped into second place in the Garden State.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most concerning part about the outcome of 2018 is that New Jersey poker sites were able to use the multi-state compact for much of the year. Since late April, New Jersey poker players have combined with players from Nevada<\/strong> and Delaware<\/strong> to form one large pool of potential table occupants.<\/p>\n It hasn\u2019t helped. At best, poker revenue has remained roughly level since then and dipped below $1.8 million in each of the last four months of the year.<\/p>\n\n
