US online gambling market in numbers

Online casino is legal in seven states. Five publish revenue by month, Delaware — only annual, Rhode Island does not publish at all. We parse monthly reports ourselves and recalculate the page on schedule: each row shows whether the figure was read in the regulator's document or taken from a press release with rounding.

Online casino vs betting

Online casino 78.7% Online betting 21.3% Turnover $20.62bn

Share is calculated by revenue in the same states and for the same months where the regulator publishes both casino and sports betting. States where only sports betting is legal — New York, Illinois, Ohio and others — are not included in this calculation: they lack the second half.

document

Year-on-year is taken from the prior-year column in the same report where the regulator prints it: that is their comparison, not ours. Where no such column exists, we calculate it ourselves over twelve months against the previous twelve, and only if both windows are closed completely — other rows show a dash, not a percentage from an incomplete period. The window varies by state: West Virginia Lottery publishes reports with a delay, MGCB keeps one latest release in the feed.

Monthly dynamics

In the row — 3 state (NJ, PA, CT), which have every month of the window closed. The rest are not included in the chart: their reporting appears mid-window, and the series shape would show coverage growth, not market growth. Bar maximum — $822.2m.

Where the figures come from

Page is assembled from a snapshot created by the monthly release parsing team: it contains 59 months of history, table shows latest 12 months filed by each state. We do not re-type numbers manually: every figure is the result of reading a PDF, XLSX or state open data, and each row links to that exact document.

Regulator Read in the regulator's own document
Regulator, summed Sum of the monthly lines in the regulator's document
Regulator, rounded Regulator's press release, figures rounded to $0.1m

Snapshot updated 9 October 2026. Regulators use different terms: 'win' in New Jersey, 'gross revenue' in Pennsylvania, 'adjusted gross receipts' in Michigan and West Virginia — the state row says what exactly is counted. Methodology.
