- PlayUSA: Evolution Q1 Financials Look Stellar Amid US Online Casino Expansion Slog
- There won’t be regulated online casinos in new parts of the United States anytime soon. That didn’t result in a slowdown for Evolution, however, in its most recent quarter. Rather, the company reported gains during Q1 2024. Those gains included revenue for its North American segment in a year-over-year comparison. While the expansion of legal online casino play into new US markets would certainly be a welcome development for Evolution, the company’s global operations and diverse offerings could offer stability on a long-term basis even if that does not occur.

ESPN BET launched in several states late in 2023 and has since rolled out in others this year. PENN rebranded the product last year, aligning it with ESPN. Formerly, the sports betting app was known as Barstool Sportsbook.

- PlayIllinois: Illinois Online Casino Bills Still Alive With A Month To Go
- The future of iGaming in Illinois is still uncertain, but bills to legalize online casinos in both the House and Senate remain alive ahead of the 2024 session closing on May 24. House Bill 2239, filed by Rep. Edgar Gonzalez, Jr. in February, is currently residing in the House Rules Committee after moving there earlier this month. Senate Bill 1656, sponsored by Sen. Cristina Castro, is a little further along in its process. It has received a third reading deadline of May 3. However, it’s still sitting in the Senate Subcommittee on Gaming, Wagering, and Racing with no scheduled hearing date.
- PlayMichigan: Hard Rock’s Arrival Could Strengthen Online Casino Sector In Michigan
