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?
- 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.
- Learn the state's vocabulary. Tagged 'internet-gaming' in New Jersey versus 'igaming' in Pennsylvania - normalize labels before combining panels.
- Check the geographic unit. Per-casino (PGCB) versus statewide (NJ DGE online channels) changes what a row represents.
- Track tax lines with revenue. Regulated channels publish both; separating gross revenue from tax owed avoids mixing denominators.
- 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.
