New Jersey iGaming Rises 13% as Partypoker Brand Revenue Falls 47.5%
September’s iGaming growth masked declines in the all-games revenue totals reported under partypoker and WSOP.
- New Jersey internet gaming win rose 13.0% year over year to $274.8 million in September.
- Revenue reported under the partypoker brand fell 47.5%, while WSOP-branded revenue declined 1.4%.
- Those brand totals include casino games and are not standalone poker-revenue measures.
- Statewide peer-to-peer poker win had declined 3.2% in August, while PokerStars now reports through its FanDuel platform.
New Jersey’s internet gaming win reached $274.8 million in September, up 13.0% from $243.1 million a year earlier, according to the state Division of Gaming Enforcement. The result made iGaming the state’s largest gaming-revenue segment for the month, ahead of the nine casino hotels’ $227.8 million in in-person casino win, which fell 1.3% year over year.
The state’s wider online market growth did not carry through to two poker-associated brand totals. USPoker reported that revenue under the partypoker brand fell 47.5% to about $919,000, from about $1.75 million in September 2025. WSOP-branded revenue slipped 1.4% to about $953,000.
Those operator-table totals should not be read as standalone poker revenue. They include all internet gaming revenue recorded under each brand, including casino games, so they cannot establish the precise monthly performance of either poker site.
September was New Jersey’s third-highest month for internet gaming win, behind July’s roughly $276.9 million and May’s roughly $276.3 million. Through the first nine months of the year, iGaming win totaled $2.40 billion, a 13.2% increase from the comparable 2025 period.
The latest brand results come after a softer August for the state’s separately reported peer-to-peer poker category, which generated about $2.56 million, down 3.2% from a year earlier. As we reported in September, that August decline left New Jersey peer-to-peer poker win down 2.8% through the first eight months of 2026, at about $20.1 million.
PokerStars does not have a directly comparable entry in September’s operator table. It recorded about $1.08 million under its former standalone listing in September 2025, but the PokerStars NJ site closed on April 1 and returned the same day as PokerStars on FanDuel. The new platform uses a shared player pool across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Pokerfuse estimated that PokerStars on FanDuel generated $2.6 million across those three states in August, up 14% year over year. That contrasted with an estimated 2% decline for the regulated US online poker market overall during the month, including year-over-year declines of 10% for WSOP Online and 16% for BetMGM Poker.
New Jersey’s September total gaming revenue across casinos, racetracks and their partners was $579.6 million, up 2.8% year over year, while total gross-revenue taxes reached $82.7 million for the month.
