New Jersey’s regulated online gambling market notched another revenue record in February, the last monthly report that won’t include contributions from PokerStars.
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement says state-licensed online gambling sites generated revenue of $14.7m in February, nearly 42% higher than the same month last year and $100k more than the sites earned in January, the previous record since the online market launched in late-2013.
As usual, the year-on-year gains were entirely driven by another stellar performance by the casino vertical, which improved 52.6% to $12.75m. In traditionally stark contrast, online poker continued its ugly stepsister role, falling 2.5% to just under $2m.
Also as usual, the Borgata/Bwin.party/Pala Interactive combo led the revenue charge with $4.24m ($3.18m from casino, $1.06m from poker). Caesars Interactive Entertainment continued its bridesmaid role with just over $3m in total revenue ($2.09m casino, $932k poker).
