As of 2026, eight states offer legal online casino gaming: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and Delaware. While ranking 3rd in absolute revenue, New Jersey still has the highest revenue per capita ($313M per million residents) compared to Pennsylvania ($214M).

New Jersey's total gaming revenue (casinos + online + sports) hit a record ~$6.98 billion in 2025, with online/iGaming surpassing land-based Atlantic City casino win for the first time (~$2.91B online vs. ~$2.89B retail). Atlantic City's nine brick-and-mortar casinos saw modest growth overall in 2025 (up ~2.7% to $2.89B), with continued recovery since COVID years declines but ongoing pressure from online gambling and out-of-state competition.
Only land-based casinos operating in Atlantic City are eligible to receive an Internet Gaming Permit under the New Jersey online gambling law approved in 2013. These casinos were also authorized by the law to share their license with up to five other brands, which allows casino brands beyond Atlantic City to launch online casino games after reaching an agreement to affiliate with an Atlantic City casino. In May 2018, New Jersey passed another law authorizing online sports betting (see .Sports gambling)..
New Jersey law authorizes online providers to offer any game that meets the state's current standards for casino games. The list includes popular table games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, mini baccarat, three-card poker, red dog, and pai gow poker, as well as slot machines, video poker and other variations of poker. In practice, however, online casinos have limited the types of games available online, with the most frequent games comprised of Blackjack, Roulette, Three Card Poker, and Let It Ride.
The minimum age to open an account in New Jersey is 21. Online gamblers must be physically located within the state while playing, but players do not need to be New Jersey residents.
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement in the Department of Law and Public Safety oversees the regulation of New Jersey online sites along with the operations of land-based Atlantic City casinos.
