Igaming continued on its growth trajectory in New Jersey in January, while sports betting took a hit compared to the previous year's revenue.
Total gambling revenue in New Jersey hit $553.9 million (£439.6 million/€528.1 million). This is 0.9% behind January last year but 6.% ahead of December.
New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE) figures filed on 14 February show the year-on-year fall was due to a decline in sports betting. Igaming, on the other hand, continues to go from strength to strength.
For January, igaming revenue topped $221.6 million. This beats last year by 20.9% and falls just 2.8% short of December’s $228 million record. However, it was only the second time igaming drew the highest gambling revenue in a single month, after the feat was first achieved in October 2024.
Breaking down igaming, ‘other authorised games’, including slots, drew $218.9 million, up 21.1%. Online poker revenue also increased by 8.1% to $2.7 million.
