NJ Online Casino Revenue Surges With Golden Nugget & Borgata

Yet another record was broken in July. New Jersey online casinos combined to earn $39,300,000 in revenue in the month, an all-time record. This doesn’t include NJ online sportsbooks, which was nearly another $14M in revenue.

These numbers are staggering, but they are likely to grow and grow as popular sports begin in the next month or so. Professional football, college football, playoff baseball, and professional and college basketball are just around the corner. There is much more money to be made in taxes by the state, especially as more and more users are aware.

It makes you think…what was everyone waiting for?

In the latest press release from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, these numbers are detailed:

– Total Gaming Revenue: $334.4M, up nearly 11% from last year.
– Internet Gaming: $39.3M, up nearly 52%
– Year-to-Date Internet Gaming: $256.8M, up 55.2%
