Non-adjusted gross gaming revenue is a representation of total cash wagers with rake fees, tournament fees, and other fees for all operators minus player winnings derived from cash wagers and doesn’t account for operating costs or other liabilities. Cash wagers don’t include bonuses. The number of active player accounts represents accounts with cash and/or promotional wagering activities during the reporting month and isn’t a representation of unique players because some individuals have an account with multiple operators.
