Revenue from New Jersey online casinos outpaced Atlantic City brick and mortar properties for a tenth consecutive month in June, extending a trend that has reshaped the state gaming market. The growth of online casinos in the state pushed digital platforms to $271 million in total gaming revenue, representing a 17.5% increase from June 2025 and finishing just $5 million below the record set in May. The digital performance stood 5.4% higher than the $257.3 million generated by nine land based casinos in Atlantic City, where physical gaming revenue dropped 0.7% year over year.
The internet gaming sector generated $60.4 million in state tax revenue during June, roughly doubling the combined tax contributions of land based properties at $18.9 million and sports wagering at $12.4 million. In total, state regulatory authorities collected $91.7 million in gaming taxes during the month.
FanDuel Casino led operators among New Jersey online casinos with $62.5 million in revenue, up 17.2% from the prior year. DraftKings Casino followed with $47.1 million, representing an 8% gain, while BetMGM reported $35.4 million, up 17.3%. Five additional platforms generated at least $10 million each, led by Borgata at $21.1 million and Hard Rock Bet at $18.7 million. BetFanatics surged 276.9% to reach $13.7 million, and BetRivers climbed 41.6% to $10.9 million.
Through the first six months of the year, physical casino revenue rose 2.3% while digital sector expansion fueled New Jersey online casinos to a 15% overall increase. Land based performance was uneven in June, as five properties reported year over year declines. Market leader Borgata dropped 5.9% to $72.2 million, a reduction exceeding $4.5 million compared to June 2025. Hard Rock placed second among physical venues with $46.2 million, up 0.9%, while Ocean finished third with $43.5 million, down 0.2%. Ballys dropped 7.7%, Golden Nugget fell 10.3%, and Resorts declined 9.1%. Conversely, Caesars Entertainment saw revenue increases across its three Atlantic City venues, led by Harrahs with a 15.7% surge.
Sports wagering experienced a steeper contraction, generating $57.2 million in revenue, a 37.7% drop from the prior year despite a 16% rise in total wagering volume. Regulators noted that despite physical gambling declines, Atlantic City total midyear win reached $1.4 billion faster than any year since 2012, while overall gaming revenue topped $3.5 billion sooner than ever before as players continue turning to New Jersey online casinos.
