Online casino revenue in the United States reached a historic high of $900 million in March, marking a significant milestone across seven regulated states. Pennsylvania emerged as a standout performer, with operators generating a record $291.6 million in revenue compared to the previous year.
While no single state has breached the $300 million monthly revenue mark yet, experts anticipate this threshold could be surpassed in the near future if the current growth trajectory persists. The surge in revenue is attributed in part to well-executed promotions during the NCAA March Madness events, which not only boosted traffic to casino mobile apps but also diversified the gambling audience.
The success story extended beyond Pennsylvania, with Michigan and New Jersey each surpassing $240 million in gross revenue from online casinos. Michigan boasts 15 authorized operators offering iGaming and online sports betting services, while Connecticut witnessed a remarkable revenue surge of $57.7 million thanks to the contributions of licensed operators FanDuel and DraftKings.
Connecticut, with only two licensed operators in the state, experienced a notable increase in wagering volumes, surpassing $800 million in bets. Meanwhile, West Virginia saw a substantial 51.9% revenue growth in March 2025, fueled by a surge in wagers totaling $888.8 million.
In Delaware, BetRivers made history by achieving its first-ever eight-figure monthly revenue of $10.3 million, with total wagers amounting to $279.9 million, indicating a 25% increase from the previous quarter. Rhode Island’s casino market leader, Bally’s, also posted a record gross revenue of $5.1 million in March, signaling a successful month for the sole operator in the state.
Despite the monopoly enjoyed by operators in certain states, such as BetRivers in Delaware and Bally’s in Rhode Island, the landscape of online casino gambling is evolving rapidly. The industry has witnessed substantial growth in legalized online gambling across seven states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Rhode Island.
Collectively, these states generated a remarkable $905.6 million in gross revenue in March, indicating a significant 26.2% increase from the previous year. This growth trajectory underscores the growing popularity and profitability of online casino gambling in the United States.
