Online casino revenue reached $874.3 million in October, surpassing September’s total by 4.8%, or more than $40 million.

Record revenue months in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania fueled the monthly growth, signaling once again that the US iGaming market continues to expand as markets have yet to reach full maturity.

September’s report does not include Rhode Island, which releases its online gambling figures one month later than other states.

Big three online casino states hit new highs in October

October’s revenue growth leaned heavily on the top three iGaming markets: Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Combined, the three states generated $773.1 million in revenue, up nearly $40 million from September 2025 revenue. Each state set a new revenue record.

Michigan$261.7 million$259.1 million+1.00%
New Jersey$260.3 million$243.1 million+7.08%

Delaware saw the largest month-over-month growth among the seven US online casino markets, posting an 11.1% revenue increase and breaking the $10 million mark.

US online casinos eye historic revenue milestone

PlayUSA estimates that US online casinos could generate more than $960 million in December, marking the first time online casinos would surpass $900 million in a single month:

MonthRevenue
September$834.1 million
October$874.3 million
November (projected)$888.9 million
December (projected)$964.2 million

The estimate is based on the month-to-month growth the industry experienced last year. If trends hold, November could produce nearly $890 million in revenue, and December could reach a staggering $964.2 billion.

If revenue over the next two months follows last year’s trends and total win exceeds $960 million, the online gambling market is likely to break the $1 billion mark in 2026.
