What will it take for online poker in New Jersey to improve revenues?

[Shells]

After jumping into the shared player pool with Nevada and Delaware last May, 2018 was supposed to be a banner year for online poker in New Jersey. Instead, it was the complete opposite.

Will online poker in New Jersey ever take an upswing?

The bigger question is - does online poker have a future in the USA?

My guess - no.

Sports betting seems to be on the upswing though.

Sportsbetting is definitely on an upswing, just about everywhere in the USA.

I believe that casinos have way too much power in the US to allow online poker to get as big as it was prior to "Black Friday".

The limited amount of states playing online poker "legally", the growth of online, and almost need of having a HUD makes it very hard for newer players to get vested into online poker unless they have the drive to succeed.

giving them global pokerstars and other sites, so that they can play on big sites and not have to play only other people from their area

change of laws...other then that there isn't much they can do. But keep in mind, when partypoker, 888, and stars entered into NJ it wasn't to make money for them. It was to create the casino partnerships and get there foot in the door for "legal" poker in the US.

Pooling all players from other regulated states is a step in right direction. But the state of online poker in USA isn't looking good. The numbers NJ are putting up are way to low .
