Pennsylvania online casinos continued their strong winter with the second-best revenue month ever in January.
Last month, PA online casinos recorded $316.2 million in revenue, falling shy of December’s $324.3 million record, but still 18% greater than January 2025’s $268.0 million.
January marks the fourth consecutive month that Pennsylvania iGaming has surpassed $300 million in gross revenue.
Breaking Down Pennsylvania Online Casino January 2026 Revenue
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Boardprovided the latest numbers, highlighting their adjusted gaming revenue. That total removes promotional dollars from the gross revenue total. The adjusted revenue in January was $249.3 million.
The PGCB also lists their iGaming revenue by licensee. Online casino gaming launched in the state in 2019 with 10 different retail casinos being granted licenses to operate in the state. Two other operators (Bally, Golden Nugget) earned untethered licenses. Many of these licensees are affiliated with more than one online casino brand in Pennsylvania. However, their revenue is reported collectively.
Here’s a look at the gross gaming revenue numbers by licensee for January.

Pennsylvania iGaming Continues Healthy Growth Pattern
Coming off a 2025 that saw Pennsylvania online casinos generate a total of $3.46 billion in online casino revenue, January shows that iGaming isn’t slowing down anytime soon in the Keystone State.
The 18% year-over-year increase is an even-greater jump than Pennsylvania saw in December with its record-setting total. That month was only a 15.4% year-over-year increase.
Should Pennsylvania be able to maintain the $300 million monthly status, that would lead to at least $3.6 billion in iGaming revenue for 2026. That is a mark that Pennsylvania should easily be able to reach
January generated $73.9 million in state taxes through online casinos. Another $14.7 million was generated for local share assessments.
