According to a report released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Garden State is doing extremely well with its online gambling industry. The authority said that in the month of August, 2019, online casinos and online sportsbooks in New Jersey saw revenues increase by over $7 million, month on month. In total, revenues jumped to just over $60 million when online sports betting was included in the haul.
The gross online casino gaming win was $39.39 million, while gross online poker win was $1.71 million. However, the most impressive detail was gross online sports betting win which was $19.2 million.
