NJ online casino revenue drops 5.5 percent in February

NJ Online casino gaming revenue dropped 5.5 percent in February compared to the prior month, according to figures released Wednesday by state regulators.

New Jersey online casinos are still on a roll but cooled off going into the second month of 2019. NJ gambling sites generated $31.75 million in online poker and casino revenues in the month of February, which marked the first month-over-month decline since August 2018. With an additional $12.85 million in NJ online sports betting revenue, NJ online gambling operators generated a total of $44.6 million in online gross revenue compared to a total of $49.09 million in the previous month.

The market leaders, for nearly three consecutive years, are the Golden Nugget Casino Online group of operators, which includes Sugarhouse Casino Online and Betfair Casino. They generated a total gross revenue of $10.70 million, which were heard to be led by a strong cross performance from FanDuel Sportsbook into Betfair Casino. In second place in total market revenue, sits Resorts Digital Gaming which houses Resorts Online Casino, Mohegan Sun Online Casino, PokerStars Casino and DraftKings, providing a total online revenue of $6.66 million.

"Overall, these are great results from both online casino and sports betting apps. No one should be startled by the drop in sports betting revenue as the Super Bowl result was known to put a hurting on FanDuel and others, which helped lead to the large drop in sports betting revenue. All other signs, such as total handle, point to increasing popularity in sports betting both online and off; so newcomers like Aussie-based PointsBet Sportsbook have nothing to worry about," said BonusSeeker.com Managing Editor, Rich Migliorisi.
