US commercial gaming revenue in 2025

US commercial gaming revenue was $78.72 billion in 2025, 9.2% more than in 2024 and a record, according to the American Gaming Association's annual figures, released on 26 February 2026. Land-based casinos and other traditional gaming still produced most of it, $50.94 billion, but grew only 2.3%. Sports betting revenue rose 22.8% to $16.96 billion and online casino revenue 27.6% to $10.74 billion.

The figures cover commercial gaming in the states that report it. They exclude tribal casinos, which are a large part of US gambling but do not publish comparable revenue figures.

Totals by segment

Two editions give slightly different totals. The AGA's State of the States report, published in May 2026, revised the 2025 figures to $78.62 billion in total, $10.73 billion for iGaming, $16.89 billion for sports betting and $17.86 billion in taxes, after states filed late or corrected data. We use the February figures throughout this site for consistency; the difference is small, but quoting one edition from start to finish avoids mismatched totals.

How large the online share has become

Sports betting and iGaming together produced $27.70 billion in 2025, about 35% of commercial gaming revenue on our calculation from the AGA figures. Most sports betting is placed through mobile apps, though the AGA total also includes retail sportsbooks. Online casino is legal in only seven states, which makes its $10.74 billion notable: the bulk of it comes from Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as our state-by-state online casino table shows.

The trend in 2026

Growth has slowed. The AGA's latest monthly tracker, for August 2026, showed iGaming revenue of $1.03 billion, up 12.3% on August 2025, while sports betting revenue fell 15.6% to $1.00 billion as hold dropped to 9.2% from 10.8%. A secondary report of the association's second-quarter figures gives total commercial revenue of $20.39 billion (+5.1%), with iGaming at $3.03 billion (+16.5%) and sports betting flat at $3.91 billion. We could not find the AGA's own first-quarter release, so we do not show it.

What the national total leaves out

Tribal gaming is the main omission. The AGA counts only commercial operators, so tribal casinos are excluded, as are sportsbooks run by tribes; that leaves out Florida's mobile sports betting entirely, since it operates under the Seminole Tribe's compact. In Connecticut, online casino and sports betting run through the two tribes and the state lottery, and the state publishes payments rather than a full revenue series. Prediction markets offering sports event contracts are also outside these figures; the AGA estimates they have cost states about $1.56 billion in potential gaming tax since the start of 2025, which is its estimate rather than measured data.
