Online casino revenue poised to surpass 2024 in October
Michigan’s online casino revenue growth shows no signs of slowing. The industry is on track to set a new annual revenue record in October. As of September 2025, total yearly revenue for Michigan’s online casinos reached $2.24 billion.
In comparison, the full-year revenue for 2024 was $2.44 billion, a record at the time. To surpass this, casinos need approximately $200 million in October—a feasible target, given that monthly revenues in 2025 have consistently exceeded $240 million, except in February.
It’s likely that Michigan has already set a new annual revenue record, pending final October figures.
Unstoppable growth: Michigan’s casino revenue soars
Michigan’s online casinos have seen consistent year-over-year revenue increases, with no indication of a slowdown. Based on September data from the past five years, revenue has grown by at least 21% annually:
| Year | September MI Online Casino Revenue | Growth From Previous Year |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $102,380,222 | N/A |
| 2022 | $128,734,447 | 25.7% |
| 2023 | $166,424,468 | 29.3% |
| 2024 | $202,591,670 | 21.7% |
| 2025 | $259,123,961 | 27.9% |
Despite the peak percentage growth occurring in 2023, the dollar amount increase has remained steady. For example, September 2025 revenue rose by $56.5 million compared to September 2024.
If this growth rate continues, Michigan’s online casinos could reach $300 million in monthly revenue, a milestone no other state has achieved. Additionally, rising casino revenues are boosting state and local coffers. In September 2025, Michigan collected $50.8 million in state tax revenue and an additional $19.1 million for city and local authorities.
