In July In New Jersey, Rising Tide Of Online Gaming Lifts All Boats

The average high temperature in Atlantic City this July was 86 degrees, making the sand and ocean water just about as scorching hot as New Jersey’s gambling operators.

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement reported revenue figures for the month Friday afternoon, with iGaming win up 12% over the previous July, brick-and-mortar casino win up 7.1%, and total gaming revenue in the state up 11.9% — boosted by a new state iCasino revenue record by the slimmest of margins.

Online casino win across the state’s 28 active skins totaled $276.9 million, breaking the record set in May of $276.3 million by about two-tenths of a percentage point. July’s total was about $6 million higher than June’s — although on a per-day basis, June actually was more productive for the operators.

Atlantic City’s land-based casinos had an even bigger month (summer is their best season, of course), raking in $304.2 million in gaming win, a number that pushes back gently on “cannibalization” talk.

Sports wagering gross revenue was also strong in July, adding up to $97 million, an increase of 29.7% over July 2025.

Added together, all the forms of regulated gaming produced $678.1 million in revenue in July, up 11.9% year-over-year, producing $92.2 million in state taxes. Year-to-date revenue now comes to $4.2 billion, an increase of 6.9% over the first seven months of 2025.

Familiar faces at the top

The New Jersey iGaming operator rankings didn’t deviate much from the norm. FanDuel Casino again led the way in revenue in July, rising 18.5% year-over-year to $61.7 million. DraftKings Casino dipped 1.2% relative to July ’25, but still kept a firm grasp on second place at $48.1 million.

BetMGM held onto third place with $34.6 million (up 10.1%), followed by Borgata at $22.6 million (up 13.3%). Caesars Palace and Hard Rock Bet ran almost neck and neck for fifth place, at $18.6 million and $18.2 million, respectively — though they’re headed in different directions, with Caesars slipping by 4.3% and Hard Rock soaring 36.2%.

The biggest gain, percentage-wise, was at bet365, which enjoyed a 78% year-over-year revenue spike to $4.3 million.

And here’s something you don’t see often: Resorts World’s online casino in New Jersey lost $7,125 for the month, reducing its total winnings for the year to just under $84,000.

Online poker revenue in the state came in at $2.55 million, down 6.2% compared to the previous July.

As for the land-based casino rankings, the top three remained the top three, with Borgata ($81.6 million) at no. 1, followed by Hard Rock ($57.3 million) and Ocean ($52.1 million). Ocean was actually second only to Borgata in table game win, but Hard Rock more than made up for it with a comfortable edge in slot machine haul. Overall in Atlantic City, slot win went up 6.2%, while table game win rose 9.5%.
