Total revenue for the Israeli-based poker network hit €30.1 million in 2008, up 73 percent on the €17.4 million generated in iPoker2007.

Publicly-quoted parent company Playtech saw total revenue for 2008 total €111.5 million, a jump of 70 percent on the €65.7 million earned in 2007. The balance was made up of casino revenues which leapt 68 percent to €79.4 million.
