Online Casino Growth in U.S.A.
The USA has had a generally low number of online casinos and players due the stringent measures placed by its various states. Unlike the other markets in Europe where online casinos were allowed to thrive, the US lags behind. However, things are turning positive for the players in the online casino industry as states begin to relax some of the measures. The importance of the online casino was brought to the fore due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many physical casinos had to be closed down to avert the spread of the virus. Several operators then went digital in an effort to keep on being in business thus expanding the online casino market.
Market trends for the online casinos in the USA
Even though the USA still falls back when compared to the European countries in terms of online casinos and gambling, it is steadily gaining momentum. Nonetheless, several states in the country are beginning to relax their otherwise stringent measures. The state of Pennsylvania for instance allowed Internet gambling in 2019. Several companies scrambled to get a market share there and this increased more in the past year.
Currently the state of New Jersey is the largest market for online casinos in the USA. There are various legal and licensed online casino sites competing for the overall market share. You can now find quite a significant number of online sports books, betting sites and live betting apps.
An overview on the leading online casino games operators in the country
There are various online casino games being offered by different online casino gambling sites in the country. The gambling market in the United States of America is highly fragmented thus comprising both regional and global operators in the industry. Some of the leading operators with a significant presence in the country include: William Hill, 888 Holdings PLC, Caesars Entertainment Corporation, among others.
The above online casino games operators in the USA just like other online operators in other countries strive to offer a variety of gaming options to their users. However, the number of legal online casino games may be different from one state to the other. Nonetheless, online porker is legalized in states such as Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. The other popular online casino games that are being offered in other states in the country that allow it include; American roulette, baccarat, blackjack, poker, slots, bingo, keno and so much more. You can access the top performing online gambling platforms in the USA at online review websites like the Online Casino Book.
The North American online casino market is the fastest growing in 2020-2021
According to date from the American Gaming Association, the gambling revenue in the country hit record $13.6 billion in the second quarter of 2021. Well this is the phenomenon that is also being replicated in states that have legalized online casino gambling.
Nevada is said to be the state that made the most revenue than any other state in the US during the second quarter. Pennsylvania came in second and New Jersey third respectively in that order. Several more states such as California and New York are planning to legalize online casino gambling. This is expected to help keep the growth of the online casino gambling high going forward to 2022. Nevertheless, more and more people prefer to play at the comfort of their homes than at brick-and-mortar casinos.
So what is the current gambling situation in the US?
The US still lacks tangible gambling regulations in her states, leaving it with a grey jurisdiction as pertains to online gambling. The lack of proper gambling regulations as well as regulatory bodies leaves players in the country unprotected from bogus online casinos.
This notwithstanding, it doesn’t appear to hold back the American player from taking advantage of the convenience that online gambling brings. Currently there is no law that prohibits American residents from playing at offshore online casinos. Nonetheless, players from the country still need to practice safe gambling and responsibility.
How you can find the best online casinos for the US-based player
Finding the right online casino operator that is catering for the American based player is important but tricky. However, having the following attributes can easily spot the right online casino games provider:
Worthy bonus offer – Any decent casino operator is one that is transparent in its bonus offer to new players. Always check before signing up to see if the welcome bonus is even worth claiming!
Customer support – Does the customer support have a toll-free number for the US player? Ensure that the live support is available 24/7 to address your issues should they arise.
Payment options – Check to see if the list of payment options caters for players in the US. Ideally, the payment options should include; American Express, PayPal or Visa.

EGBA Publishes its Annual Activity Report 2025

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), representing Europe’s leading online gambling operators, has published its Annual Activity Report. The report showcases EGBA’s key achievements and provides valuable insights into the European online gambling market through aggregated market data from its members.
The Annual Activity Report 2025 details EGBA’s achievements across several areas. The 4th annual European Safer Gambling Week expanded to a record 26 countries with 195 stakeholders participating, reaching 3 million citizens with important safety messages. EGBA’s annual sustainability reporting revealed record usage of safer gambling tools, with 21 million customers (65% of total) using safety tools and over 67 million messages sent to players to promote safe and sustainable play.
EGBA conducted a second monitoring exercise of its pan-European responsible advertising code, focusing on minor protection measures. The association advanced its anti-money laundering initiatives, organising workshops to educate industry stakeholders about the EU’s new AML framework. The association strengthened its industry representation with Superbet Group, LeoVegas Group and Sumsub all joining as new members.
The report also presents aggregated 2024 European online gambling market data from the association’s members, including information about their combined gross gaming revenues, stakes, return to player rates, customer winnings, products and licenses. The data reveals a 15% increase in the combined online gross gaming revenues of EGBA members to €13.5 billion in 2024, with casino games representing 51% of total revenue.
“It was a significant year for EGBA: our membership expanded, we hosted a record-breaking European Safer Gambling Week that reached over 3 million citizens with safety messages, and we provided input into many important policy discussions. As Finland completes its transition from a monopoly to a licensing system, all EU member states will soon have some form of multi-licensing framework for online gambling. This is a major milestone, representing a fundamental change in Europe’s regulatory landscape over the past 15 years, and validates our view that competitive, well-regulated markets are the best way to protect consumers. Looking ahead, we’ll continue to promote effective policies that support safer gambling and address remaining anti-competitive regulation and practices,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
