Michigan's online casinos saw their daily average revenue jump 12.1% in February. It's the first time the monthly increase crept into double-digit percentages. BetMGM Casino increased its market share by two percentage points to 38.2%. FanDuel Casino and Four Winds did better still, up 22. 2% and 25.5%. Barstool, PointsBet and the soon-to-be-defunct TwinSpires all saw revenue fall by double the percentages in the last month.
New Jersey online gambling sites' February revenue increased 4.4% from January. The total GGR didn't set a record, but it did set the daily average revenue record.
