Online gambling in the United States continued its upward trajectory in September 2025, with total igaming revenue across seven regulated states — Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, West Virginia, Delaware, and Rhode Island — reaching US$818.3 million. This represents a significant increase from US$686.7 million in the same month last year, highlighting the ongoing growth of the digital casino market.
Michigan and New Jersey Lead Growth
Michigan reported impressive figures, with 15 online operators generating US$259.1 million in September, just shy of the state record of US$260.5 million set in March. This marks a substantial rise from US$202.6 million in September 2024, reflecting the state’s sustained momentum in digital gaming.
New Jersey’s 28 online casinos followed closely, producing US$243.1 million in revenue. While slightly below the March record of US$248.4 million, it was the fourth-highest monthly total ever for the state. Notably, the Garden State’s online casinos have surpassed US$2 billion in cumulative revenue for the year, totaling US$2.1 billion with three months remaining — up from US$1.73 billion over the same period in 2024.
Pennsylvania Records Strong Online Slots and Table Game Growth
Pennsylvania’s online casino market reached US$233.4 million in September, marking its second-highest monthly revenue after March’s US$238.2 million. Online slots remained the dominant category with US$181.1 million in revenue. Table games saw a notable jump from US$42.4 million to US$50 million, while poker contributed US$2.3 million, reflecting steady interest across multiple game formats.
Connecticut Sets New Monthly Record
In Connecticut, DraftKings and FanDuel — the state’s two main online casino operators — combined for US$53.7 million in revenue, eclipsing last year’s September total of US$37 million and surpassing the state record of US$51.8 million set in May. This performance underscores the strong market adoption of online gambling in the Constitution State.
Growth Across Smaller States
West Virginia recorded US$34.2 million in igaming revenue for September, exceeding last year’s US$20 million take and surpassing the previous month’s record of US$32.8 million. Delaware also saw a surge, generating US$9.9 million compared to US$5.8 million in September 2024. Slots accounted for US$7.3 million, tables US$2.6 million, and poker returned with nearly US$67,000 in revenue.
Rhode Island, where Bally’s holds a monopoly on online gambling, experienced a 53.3% year-over-year increase, reaching US$4.9 million compared to US$3.1 million in September 2024.
Market Outlook
The US igaming market’s consistent month-over-month gains reflect growing player engagement and the increasing maturity of online casino operations across regulated states. With operators in multiple states setting new records and surpassing previous revenue benchmarks, the digital gaming sector continues to be a major driver of gaming industry growth in the United States.
