PokerStars Dominates Italian Online Market As Regulator Attacks Illegal Operators

According to the latest numbers issued by Italy's online gambling regulator, the Customs and Monopoly Agency (formerly known as AAMS), PokerStars Italy continues to dominate the country's ring-fenced online poker market.

In March 2015, the AAMS-licensed version of the world's biggest poker site confirmed its leadership by bringing home 70 percent of the country's total tournament poker revenues and almost 54 percent of the total cash-game revenues.

During the third month of 2015, however, the overall numbers showed a continuation of the negative trend that Italy's online poker industry has been suffering since the creation of the ring-fenced market.
