Connecticut breaks $50M as Rhode Island slips
Connecticut reported $53.7 million in online casino revenue in September, up from $49.8 million in August. The Constitution State’s 7.8% monthly increase was the largest among reporting states, and it marked Connecticut’s first month above $50 million since May.
Rhode Island’s online casino win slipped to $4.8 million in August, down from $5.1 million in July. Still, the nation’s smallest iGaming market posted a 60% year-over-year gain.
Could online casinos hit $1B before year-end?
The US online gaming industry ended 2024 with record-breaking results. If the month-over-month growth from late 2024 repeats, here is how 2025 could finish:
- October: $883.1 million
- November: $897.9 million
- December: $974.0 million
These figures are projections based solely on 2024 trends, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Still, if online casinos accelerate, December could deliver the industry’s first $1 billion month. A more conservative outlook suggests the milestone may arrive in March 2026, when March Madness historically boosts iGaming activity.
