New Jersey online gambling revenue grows more than one-fifth in 2015

New Jersey’s regulated online gambling market hit a new monthly revenue high in December and full-year revenue improved by more than one-fifth.

According to figures released Wednesday by the Division of Gaming Enforcement, state-licensed online operators reported revenue of $14m in December, 6% more than November’s $13.2m and 30.8% higher than December 2014’s total. The online casino vertical rose 39% year-on-year to $12m, while poker revenue fell 3.6% to just under $2m.

For the year as a whole, the state’s online revenue came to $148.8m, 21% higher than 2014’s total. Total online casino revenue in 2015 came to $125m, up one-third from 2014, while poker revenue fell 18% to $23.8m.

As usual, the Borgata/Bwin.party/Pala combo earned the bulk of December’s take at $3.96m, of which $2.85m came from casino and $1.1m from poker. For the year as a whole, Borgata sites earned $45.7m, up from $44.3m in 2014, despite a 17% fall in poker revenue.
