The commercial gaming industry showed strong financial growth across legal markets. Sports betting revenue totaled $16.89 billion in 2025, increasing 22.7% from 2024. Online gaming revenue reached an all-time high, with seven states offering legal online casino gaming: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, Connecticut, West Virginia, and Rhode Island. Revenue in these states rose 27.6% to $10.73 billion. Nevada permits online poker only. Sports betting legalization expanded after a 2018 Supreme Court decision, with 39 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico allowing some form of sports wagering. Tribal gaming results are excluded from these figures and are typically released separately.
"In 2025, total revenue from commercial sports betting operations reached $16.89 billion, a 22.7% increase from 2024. "Notably, the sports betting total does not include revenue earned by sportsbooks in tribal casinos or from mobile sports betting in Florida, which is also conducted as a form of tribal gaming," the report said."
"Since the Supreme Court overturned the virtual ban on sports betting outside of Nevada in 2018, a total of 39 states, Washington, D.C., and the American territory of Puerto Rico have legalized some form of sports wagering. The latest revenue numbers from the AGA show the industry continues to see significant growth."
"While sports betting legalization has expanded quickly, online gaming has spread more slowly across the country. A total of seven states now offer legal online gaming - New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Delaware, Connecticut, West Virginia, and Rhode Island. Nevada allows online poker only. Revenue across the seven states with online casino gaming surged 27.6% to a record total of $10.73 billion."
"The report details the commercial gaming industry's financial performance, including analyses of all 38 states with a legal gaming landscape. Tribal gaming results aren't included; those numbers are typically released by the National Indian Gaming Commission in June or July."
