Simply put, Rhode Island online casinos are on fire.

In August, revenue jumped 14.2% month-over-month, according to the latest data from the Rhode Island Lottery. The state’s iGaming revenue has increased every month since online casinos launched in March.

Key takeaways

  • Rhode Island online casino revenue rose more than 14% in August.
  • Revenue has grown every month since launching in the spring.
  • US online casinos generated more than $690 million in revenue in August

RI online gaming win is ready to pass $3 million in a month

Since launching in March, Rhode Island’s online casino revenue has risen every month. In RI’s March 2024 iGaming revenue debuted at $1.2 million.

Since then revenue nearly doubled in April, then rose by 8.3% in May, 3.5% in June, 11.3% in July and 14.2% this past month.

MonthTotal revenueGrowth
March$1,210,547N/A
April$2,081,35871.94%
May$2,255,6968.38%
June$2,335,1733.52%
July$2,598,64611.28%
August$2,967,88914.21%

Online slots drove August’s double-digit growth, posting a 19% increase over July. Additionally, slots revenue passed $2 million for the first time since launching.

On the table games side, RI online casino revenue passed $800,000 in July and kept that growth going in August with an $839,637 performance.

While Rhode Island’s growth has been impressive, the test will come in the next 10 months. July marked the beginning of the RI lottery’s fiscal year. We’ll get a clearer picture of what market maturity looks like in Rhode Island.

We’ll likely see revenue climb past $3 million in the next two or three months. From there, the next benchmark would likely be $3.5 million in March, which tends to be the biggest month for US online casino revenue.

At the rate the national online casino revenue is rising, hitting $4 million by the end of the next calendar year is a possibile for Rhode Island iGaming.

US online casino revenue continues to climb

Rhode Island’s booming start to iGaming reflects the US online casino growth rate as a whole.

In August, the seven states with legal iGaming posted 32.5% annual growth. The six states that have had iGaming for at least a year saw at least 27% revenue increases with Delaware leading the way at more than 419%.
