Pennsylvania continues to lead the way in the US when it comes to online casino revenue. For July, PA online casinos produced $277.9 million in revenue, which tops the nation for the month.

The $277.9 million is the fifth-highest revenue month for the state in its iGaming history. It finished over $27 million ahead of Michigan ($250.5 million) and over $30 million ahead of New Jersey ($247.3 million) for July.

This past month’s revenue was a 22.2% jump from a year ago, when the state generated $227.4 million in July 2024.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board releases its monthly data and highlights adjusted gaming revenue, which takes promotional dollars out of the gross gaming revenue. The adjusted revenue for the month was $228.3 million.

PGCB reports also list revenue by licensee. When iGaming launched in 2019, 10 different retail casinos in the state were granted licenses to operate online casinos, while two operators (Bally, Golden Nugget) earned untethered licenses. Some licensees have multiple online casinos operating under their umbrella. However, revenue is reported collectively.

Penn National continues to lead the way in revenue. They feature online casino operators like DraftKings Casino, BetMGM Casino, Hollywood Casino, and Fanatics Casino.

Valley Forge finished second, they feature two operators in FanDuel Casino and Stardust Casino.

Some other notable date points from the July report include:

• A total of $67.4 million in state tax revenue was generated from online casinos in July. An additional $36.5 million was generated in local taxes and county grants.

• Slots made up the vast majority of revenue with $226.8 million coming from the online slot games. Table games brought in $48.5 million, while poker generated $2.5 million in revenue.

• Poker revenue was up 9.7% year over year, as it was at $2.3 million in July 2024.
