New Jersey iGaming Revenue Rises While Sports Betting Falls in September

New Jersey wrapped up September 2025 with steady gaming growth across casinos, iGaming, and sports wagering, according to the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE). Total revenue reached $563.7 million, a modest 1% increase from the same month last year.

Good to Know

• iGaming revenue in New Jersey climbed nearly 17% in September.
• Borgata, Hard Rock, and Ocean Casino were the top-performing properties.
• Sports wagering dipped 25% year over year despite a higher total handle.

Casino hotels and online gaming continue to anchor the state’s performance, generating $230.7 million and $243.1 million respectively. The online segment remains the engine of growth, with authorized iGaming offerings bringing in $240.7 million, while peer-to-peer games contributed about $2.5 million.
For 2025 so far, New Jersey’s online casinos have produced $2.12 billion, a jump of 22.7% from last year.

Among land-based venues, Borgata maintained its leadership position with $62.8 million in revenue, marking a slight increase of 0.6%. Hard Rock followed with $45.4 million, while Ocean Casino saw an impressive 39.3% gain, reaching $39.6 million.

Not every property had a strong month, though. Ballys Atlantic City dropped 19.4% to $10.1 million, and Caesars fell 19% to $16.6 million. Golden Nugget and Harrahs were also down, slipping 10.2% and 12% respectively.

While casino and iGaming segments delivered stability, sports wagering told a different story. Total revenue from sportsbooks fell 24.9% year over year to $89.8 million, despite a 3.7% rise in total handle, which reached $1.13 billion for the month.

Online operators shouldered most of the sports wagering volume. The online segment matched the DGE’s total at $89.8 million, but that figure was offset by a small retail loss of around $13,000. Compared with 2024, online sportsbook revenue slid 19.4%, while retail fell sharply by 100.2%.

FanDuel and DraftKings, the two biggest brands in the state, each reported declines. FanDuel brought in $37.7 million, down 22.7%, and DraftKings followed with $22.6 million, falling 38.1%. BetMGM recorded $7.1 million, off 9%, but newcomer BetFanatics stood out, increasing revenue 179.1% to $6.9 million.
