Ben Cundall, affiliate manager at Pokernews.com, surveys the state of play in online poker as green roots poke through in the US.

POKERSTARS’ entry into Pennsylvania late last year, offering a range of online poker games to players in the state, was followed up by a strong start from the operator.
In the final month of 2019, online casino games and poker produced $10.6m in gross revenue, up 22 per cent from $8.7m in November. This yielded $2.3m in state taxes.
