NJ Online Gambling Revenues Shoot up to $60.3 Million, Led by Record Online Casino Revenue
NJ online casinos and sportsbooks end the summer on a strong note as total online gross revenues shoot up $7.08 million month-over-month in August, according to Bonusseeker.com. Led by a record breaking $41 million in revenues by NJ online casinos and poker rooms, August total revenues jumped to just over $60 million with online sports betting included, according to figures released September 12th, 2019 by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Golden Nugget Online continues to dominate the competition with almost $14.98 million in online casino revenue for August. In fact, they topped its previous record-breaking month of $14.89 million in July.
Borgata Online Casino continues to nip at the heels of Resorts Digital, closing the gap to only a few thousands in revenue at $6.72 million, compared to Resorts’ $6.85. Resorts Digital Gaming houses Draftkings, Resorts Casino, and the newly formed FoxBet, which was previously BetStars.
With a $1.78 million month over month increase in online casino revenue and a $5.29 million increase in online sport wagering gross revenue online casinos and sportsbooks in New Jersey close August on a record note and look to continue their growth well into football season.
- $39.39 million in gross online casino gaming win
- $19.2 in gross online sports betting win
- $1.71 million in gross online poker gaming win
What is really impressive is the $19.2 million in gross online sports betting win. The NFL preseason kicked off on August 8 along with college football starting up, which surely helped sportsbooks get back on track after a relatively slow July. With sports betting showing such promise for just preseason NFL games, the market is looking forward to a big September.
“Football is back and soon the MLB postseason will be here. Therefore the industry is expecting an even bigger September and October.” said Rich Migliorisi, Managing Editor at BonusSeeker.com

Las Vegas Casino Culture Suffers Rejection by New Gen Gamblers

The latest statistics confirm the social chatter that Las Vegas tourism has hit a dramatic low, with some even calling Vegas an experience of the past.
Only 3.1 million people visited Sin City in June, down 11.3% compared to last year, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).
Social media users have called out the high prices of everything from dining to parking, citing these and other reasons for staying away.
Robby Starbuck, conservative activist and host of “The Robby Starbuck Show,” says it is not just prices that are keeping people out of Vegas.
“Now nearly everyone under 40 who bets seems to do it online,” Starbuck said.
“I don’t know one person under 40 who goes to Vegas regularly to bet or play slots,” he added.
“This trend will continue with younger people because, honestly, our minds are wired differently.”
The U.S. online gambling market in 2024 was estimated at $12.68 billion, according to Grand View Research.
Starbuck said generational differences also could be pushing down the popularity of visiting Las Vegas.
“Another differentiator is that older generations focused on real-life interaction, while younger generations feel just as content with parasocial online experiences,” he said.
“The Vegas marketing image is one centered on slots and showgirls, two things young people have no interest in,” said Starbuck.
He added: “The typical casino feel and marketing just won’t be as successful with young people who have 40 options to gamble on their phones from the comfort of their own home.”
An additional generational difference, Starbuck pointed out, is that younger generations are ditching the bottle.
“Younger generations drink alcohol at lower rates than older generations did at their age. That’s going to have a material impact on the Vegas business model if young people drink less,” he said.
The number of people in their 20s who chose to abstain from alcohol more than doubled between 2001 and 2019, going from 9% to 22%, according to a 2019 National Drug Strategy Household survey. And a recent Gallup survey found that roughly 38% of adults under age 35 now identify as fully abstaining from alcohol.
In addition, more than a quarter of Gen Z respondents felt “very concerned” about the potential health effects of drinking alcohol, according to Civic Science.
The hotel industry is also feeling the burn of fewer visitors.
Occupancy rates dropped 6.5%, while average daily room rates have lowered to $163.64 – down 6.6%, according to the LVCVA.
Meanwhile, a 43-story hotel and casino has been put on an indefinite pause, SF Gate reported.
The property has a prime location on the Vegas strip and will remain an empty lot for parking for now.
Starbuck said he’s been to Las Vegas a number of times in his life and doesn’t see himself visiting again unless there is a change.
“If it feels like a place where I can see the future and bring my whole family, then you’ll see me in Vegas again,” he said.
“Without that kind of transformation, Vegas is in trouble in the coming decades,” he predicted.
“If Vegas wants to win with young people in the future, it’s going to have to transition to a must-see destination that makes you feel like you have just entered the future.”

NYC Mayoral Front-runner Zohran Mamdani Says He Won’t Oppose Casino Development

As a state lawmaker, Zohran Mamdani generally opposed plans to open full-scale casinos in New York City. In June, when he walked past a billboard showing betting markets for the city mayor’s race, he even quipped that “gambling is haram,” an Arabic word meaning forbidden.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani said that he did not intend to use his newfound political clout as the Democratic mayoral nominee and the race’s front-runner to try to stop the arrival of casinos that are widely considered a fait accompli.
Speaking alongside the leader of a union pushing the gambling expansion, Mr. Mamdani told reporters that while he still had doubts about the casinos backed by corporate giants, he respected the views of state voters who had approved the downstate gambling expansion more than a decade ago.
