The Three Top Online Casino Markets in the U.S Projected to Generate More Than $1.5 Billion Combined in 2021

Palm Beach, FL – October 1, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Legal online casino gambling continues to boom in the US. The three top online casino markets in the US have generated more than $1.5 billion in combined 2021 revenue through the first half of the year… but 2020 was pretty good too! In 2020 both New Jersey and Pennsylvania realized an online casino revenue surge after COVID-19 considerations shuttered land-based casinos across the country in March. Retail casinos in both states resumed business at limited capacity by summertime, but that didn’t slow the mobile sports betting boom in either state. December marked periods of record-high monthly online casino revenues in both states. New Jersey nearly hit the $100 million monthly revenue mark in the final month of 2020, while Pennsylvania eclipsed the $70 million threshold for the first time. West Virginia also ended the year with the best month yet in the short history of the state’s mobile casino industry. With Michigan and possibly other states launching online casinos next year, 2021 projects as an even bigger year than 2020 for the US legal online casino industry.  Last year saw online casino operators generate record-setting revenue numbers. Those 2020 landmarks pale in comparison, however, to the 2021 figures for operator revenue and state tax collection., according to industry insider, bonus.com.  Active gaming and tech companies in the markets today include:  Esports Technologies (NASDAQ: EBET), Bally’s Corporation (NYSE: BALY), Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: HOFV), Genius Sports Limited (NYSE: GENI), Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI).

 

Bonus.com said: “The newest state to join the legal online casino industry, Michigan, debuted online casinos in January 2021. The Great Lakes State went over the $435 million mark in annual revenue at the end of June. As of June 2021, five US states offer legal online casino gaming. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia and Delaware  stand at the forefront of the US mobile casino industry, and the success of those markets could prompt other states to launch online casinos in the future.  New Jersey set a new US record for monthly iGaming revenue in July. Online casinos in the Garden State generated $118,638,577 in operator revenue for the month.  Pennsylvania ($88,681,607 in July revenue) stayed right around the $88 million revenue mark for the second straight month, keeping its place as the nation’s second-largest legal online casino market.  After a revenue dropoff in June, Michigan’s iGaming platforms rebounded to generate more than $83 million in revenue in July. Michigan’s top-earning mobile casinos apps include BetMGM, FanDuel Casino and DraftKings Casino so far.”
