NJ online poker sites account for barely 5% of the total, a percentage which is slowly dripping down from around 8% a year ago. Data comes from the latest monthly report published by the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement.

It was another fine report for operators in New Jersey — and the last without serious competition in the region. Pennsylvania became the first new state to enter the industry in more than five years with the long-awaited launch of PA online casinos in July.

NJ online gambling highlights — July 2019

Here’s what jumps off the page in the June report:

-Total online gambling revenue of $38,058,244 is the third-highest total for any month.

-Standalone online casino revenue of $36,288,066 is also the third-most to date.

-Combined revenue crested $30 million with ease, extending a streak that began in January.

-Revenue was up 68% compared to last June ($22.7 million).
June’s data serves to reinforce the trends that have developed in the first half of 2019.

Golden Nugget still has a stranglehold on the market, a position it has held every month this year. Its $13.6 million in June revenue is still hovering around its personal best — and nearly twice the haul of any competing operator. The Golden Nugget dominance extends back to December 2016 when it first claimed the top spot.

Although it cooled off a bit in June, revenue for Resorts has grown even more sharply this year. It earned $6.9 million for the month across online casino and poker, putting it comfortably in second place on the leaderboard. The recent addition of DraftKings Casino to its network has Resorts on course to (eventually) challenge for the top spot.

Including NJ online sports betting, the internet accounted for $45 million in total revenue in June.
