Loto-Québec more than doubles online revenues
Canadian operator brings in CA$4.6m following launch of new EspaceJeux website.
Loto-Québec has seen its online gambling revenues increase by 187% year-on-year, the operator revealed in its results for the three months ended 26 December 2011.
The third-quarter figures reflect the impact of the launch of its new EspaceJeux site, which went live in Q3 2010.
After the launch of the site in November 2010, the following month saw Loto-Québec team up with fellow Canadian operator the British Columbia Lottery Corporation on the first regulated online poker network in the Commonwealth Country.
Egaming revenues for the first nine months of the 2011-12 financial year came in at CA$13.4m, representing 1.3% of overall group revenues for the period.
Loto- Québec signed a supply deal with Amaya Gaming during Q3, and followed it up in January with the announcement of a multi-year deal with Cryptologic last month.
