While the retail casino industry in the Atlantic City has had its ups and downs, the online sphere is surging as May 2024 was the second-highest-grossing month ever for the online platforms in The Garden State. 

According to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, online casinos generated more than $192 million in May 2024. This fell just short of March’s record-breaking month of $197.2 million but was up 19% year-over-year. 

Now, through five months of 2024, New Jersey online casinos have generated just about $942.8 million in revenue year-to-date, which is 20.6% higher than where they were last year at this point. 

That’s important because in 2023, New Jersey online casinos generated $1.9 billion, which was the highest-grossing year of all time in the state’s history, and online casinos have been around since 2013. 

Revenue Breakdown by Licensee

Here’s a breakdown of the total revenue per licensee in the state: 

• Golden Nugget Atlantic City: $54,502,531
• Resorts Digital: $49,265,099
• Borgata: $43,952,025
• Tropicana Atlantic City: $16,703,580
• Hard Rock Atlantic City: $10,403,264
• Bally’s Atlantic City: $8,546,110
• Ocean: $6,852,664
• Harrah’s Atlantic City: $1,515,461
• Caesars Interactive: $332,123

Golden Nugget topped the list once again as FanDuel online casino generated over $40 million and it’s under the Golden Nugget license. Through May, the Golden Nugget license has generated $268.5 million and FanDuel is responsible for about $200 million of that. 

However, FanDuel’s $40 million wasn’t the top individual performance. That belongs to DraftKings online casino, which falls under the Resorts Digital Gaming license. It generated $42.2 million.

As mentioned, online gaming in The Garden State is surging. Over the past eight months, there have been first months that set a new record.

At this current pace, New Jersey online casinos are set to see revenues of around $2.26 billion, which would topple the 2023 figure.
