Leading Operators in the Online Market
FanDuel topped the online gaming market with $61.9 million in revenue for December and a yearly total of $655.5 million, up 29.4% over 2024. DraftKings ranked second with $52.2 million in December and a 2025 total of $569.8 million, a 10.6% increase from the previous year. Its December figure was also a record for the operator. BetMGM held third place with $37 million in December and $376 million for the year, reflecting a 30.7% rise over 2024.
Not all operators saw gains. Bally Bet, Tropicana, Resorts Casino, Monopoly, PokerStars, Jackpocket, and Harrah’s experienced year-over-year declines in 2025 compared to 2024. Despite these declines, the overall performance demonstrates how online and sports wagering continue to reshape the revenue landscape of New Jersey’s gaming industry.
The December figures and full-year performance highlight the sustained growth of online gaming in New Jersey, driven by popular operators and expanding sports wagering activity, even as some traditional casinos posted softer results. Analysts note that the combination of tax increases, operator innovation, and expanding market participation contributed to the record-breaking numbers.
