Key Trends
- Poker wagers remained essentially stable between 2024 (C$1.683B) and 2025 (C$1.678 billion)
- Poker NAGGR grew slightly from C$67.7M (2024) to C$70.2 million (2025)
- Poker's share of total wagers and NAGGR declined, but this is because casino and betting are growing faster, not because poker is shrinking
Precision Notes
NAGGR vs Gaming Revenue: The iGO annual report uses "gaming revenue" while the monthly workbook uses NAGGR (Net After-Game Gross Revenue). These are not interchangeable. NAGGR measures operator revenue after player winnings but before operating costs.
Active Player Accounts vs Unique Players: Active player accounts do not equal unique players. One person may hold accounts at multiple operators.
