The online casino (iGaming) market in New Jersey has already reached the milestone of a cumulative revenue of more than $2 billion dollars this year, and it is the high point of the industry. The most current statistics released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) indicate the online casino revenue had nearly increased to about $243 million in September 2025, marking an increase of 22.7% compared to the same period last year.
