New Jersey Surpasses $100 Million In Total Tax Revenue From Legal Online Gambling After Another Near-Record Month

“Even naysayers cannot deny the impact of New Jersey online gambling, which has now contributed more than $100 million to state coffers,” said Robert DellaFave, senior analyst for PlayNJ.com. “New Jersey’s online gambling industry may be the state’s only new revenue stream to both generate more than $100 million in tax dollars and to do it without placing a heavy burden on citizens.”

May gross revenue was up from $20.8 million in April and nearly reaching the record $21.7 million in March. The impressive tally comes in spite of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, which typically suppresses online gambling revenue.

Nowhere has the impact of regulated online gambling been felt more than in Atlantic City, which is using the reinvestment tax as part of a state rescue plan to pay down hundreds of millions of dollars of the city’s debt.

“Atlantic City is inundated with debt, but thanks to tax revenue contributions from online gambling, the beleaguered city stands a stronger chance of making a full recovery,” DellaFave said.
