internet gaming

Internet gaming is casino games played online under a state licence, reported as a separate revenue channel alongside land-based slots and table games. New Jersey labels the channel 'internet gaming'; Pennsylvania reports the same activity as 'iGaming' - both states break it out monthly in regulator revenue reports.

What is internet gaming?

It is the licensed online casino channel - slots and table games played over the internet - accounted separately from brick-and-mortar floors. Two regulators in this slice publish it:

  • New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJ DGE) - tagged internet-gaming; its reports cover internet gaming and sports wagering revenue, spanning Atlantic City casino hotels plus statewide internet gaming and sports wagering.
  • Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) - tagged igaming; reports cover per-casino slots, table games, iGaming, sports wagering, VGT and fantasy contest revenue.

The channel distinction is the analytical point: online play is a line item you can isolate, not a footnote inside casino totals.

Why does internet gaming matter when choosing a dataset?

Because channel mix is the story in regulated gambling - and naming conventions differ by state.

  • Terminology is not standardized. New Jersey writes 'internet gaming', Pennsylvania 'iGaming'; searches must try both spellings or miss a state.
  • Granularity differs by regulator. PGCB reports per casino; NJ DGE reports statewide for online channels alongside Atlantic City property detail.
  • Channel separation prevents double counting. Slots, table games, iGaming, sports wagering, VGTs and fantasy contests each carry their own revenue and tax lines in Pennsylvania's portal.
  • Monthly cadence suits tracking. Both regulators publish monthly, matching how operators and analysts monitor the market.

These are official regulator publications within the catalog's 395 daily-updated and 296 monthly-updated dataset populations - the monthly group is where this data lives.

How do you evaluate internet gaming in a data source?

  1. Confirm the channel is broken out. A source is only useful here if internet gaming/iGaming appears as its own revenue line, as in NJ DGE and PGCB reports.
  1. Learn the state's vocabulary. Tagged 'internet-gaming' in New Jersey versus 'igaming' in Pennsylvania - normalize labels before combining panels.
  1. Check the geographic unit. Per-casino (PGCB) versus statewide (NJ DGE online channels) changes what a row represents.
  1. Track tax lines with revenue. Regulated channels publish both; separating gross revenue from tax owed avoids mixing denominators.
  1. Keep adjacent channels handy. Sports wagering and fantasy contests share the same portals and periods, and market-sizing work usually needs all of them together.
