What’s ahead for iGaming’s big three?
Based on 2024 trends, Michigan and New Jersey are likely to continue posting higher online casino revenue in the months ahead. Pennsylvania, however, may see revenue plateau or slip slightly, as its totals declined from August 2024 and September 2024.
| State | September 2024 | August 2024 | % change | Projected September revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michigan | $202.6 million | $196.7 million | 3.00% | $271.2 million |
| New Jersey | $208.1 million | $198.4 million | 4.89% | $260.5 million |
| Pennsylvania | $176.7 million | $183.7 million | -3.81% | $222.4 million |
| Total | $587.4 | $578.8 | 1.49% | $754.1 million |
Looking ahead to fall and winter, we could see New Jersey online casino revenue climb higher than in prior years. The state banned sweepstakes casinos in August, a move that could push more players toward regulated online casinos as sweepstakes options disappear.
