It is the fifth out of six months it has reached at least $297 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we reach these same months a year from now, it&rsquo;s hard to see them continuing to jump up revenue by another $70-$90 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-peer-to-peer-poker-sees-revenue-record\">Peer-To-Peer Poker Sees Revenue Record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>peer-to-peer poker<\/strong> industry in Ontario hasn&rsquo;t seen a lot of highlights like its online casino peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revenue and wagers seemed to level off, even declining year-over-year in some months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, March saw the poker revenue reach a <strong>new record of<\/strong> <strong>$6.9 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous high was $6.8 million in August, but the next-highest total between these two marks was $6.3 million in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the monthly record, the poker revenue grew by just under 3% compared to the $6.7 million it did last March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What propelled this new record was <strong>$183 million in peer-to-peer poker wagers<\/strong> in March, a new record in its own right by a wide margin. Prior to March, P2P poker in Ontario topped out at $159 million way back in January of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wagers were up 23.6% year-over-year compared to the $148 million the province did in March 2025.<\/p><div class=\"\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250 __300x250\" id=\"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\">\n        <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({\n                placementName: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\",\n                slotId: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\"\n            });\n        <\/script>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontario online casinos posted a record month of wagers in March, but came up just shy of setting a new monthly record for revenue.
