The total represents the first time the dot.it market has generated a monthly return of more than €250m .
According to figures supplied by Ficom Leisure to iGB, Flutter Entertainment-owned PokerStars retained its market share lead in the casino vertical, its 11.31% take of the €123.6m total leaving it 2pps clear of nearest rival Sisal.
