Pennsylvania Online Casinos See 14% Year-Over-Year Growth in June

Online casinos in Pennsylvania earned $242.5 million in June, a 14.1% increase over the year before but down from May’s total, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported Friday.

The May revenue figure for the 23 operating sites, with one extra day to have customers wager by phone and computer, amounted to $254.8 million.

The year-over-year iCasino increase bucked a rare trend in which commercial gaming overall in Pennsylvania earned less revenue than the year before. The combination of online casinos, brick-and-mortar properties, sports betting, truck stop VGTs, and fantasy sports amounted to $535.3 million last month, which was 1.73% below the total in June 2025. Slumps in operators’ earnings from retail table games and sports betting were the primary reasons for the decline.

At the same time, the gaming board released figures for the 2025-26 fiscal year that showed overall July-through-June revenue from legal gambling cleared $7 billion on an annual basis for the first time, rising nearly 10% from 2024-25. Of that $7 billion, $2.9 billion came from online casinos, an 18.4% increase from the prior year.

Better than last year, worse than last month

Pennsylvania does not provide revenue breakdowns for individual iCasino operators, only for the 11 licensees that in many cases hold multiple skins through partnerships.

Penn Entertainment’s Hollywood Casino, which counts DraftKings, BetMGM, and Fanatics Casino among partners, showed June revenue of $98.1 million, down slightly from May’s total but well above the $81 million a year earlier.

Its partnership with FanDuel kept license-holder Valley Forge Casino Resort easily in second place, with revenue of $65.3 million, compared to $69.7 million in May and $59.4 million in June 2025.

Rush Street’s Rivers Casino, which includes a partnership with the Borgata site in addition to two of its own, reported $38.4 million in monthly revenue, also down slightly from May’s $40.8 million but up from 2025’s $35.2 million.

That trend was true for most license-holders, seeing more revenue than the year before but less revenue than the month before.

Of the $242.5 million statewide total, $190.8 million came from online slots, $49.3 million from tables, and $2.4 million from four iPoker sites.

The state reported that the online gambling provided $111.3 million in tax revenue in June.

Adding up the full fiscal year

The fiscal year report showed that on an annual basis, most of the operators saw considerable revenue increases.

Particularly notable was a 40.3% jump in revenue from $116 million to $162.8 million for the sites under the Harrah’s Philadelphia license. Those include Caesars, Caesars Palace, Tropicana, and Horseshoe.

Penn’s Hollywood Casino and its partners were up 21.1% to $1.13 billion, while the Valley Forge sites including FanDuel increased at a similar pace of 20.2% to $811.8 million for the fiscal year. The Rivers Casino increase was a more modest 12.8%, to $464.3 million.

Presque Isle Downs and Casino, from launching a new partnership with bet365, showed the biggest annual increase of all, by 124% to $51.8 million.
