Three Key Trends For Pennsylvania Online Casino Revenue In 2026

This week, we got our first look at revenue numbers for Pennsylvania online casinos in 2026.
Numbers continue to be strong overall, but there are some notable trends when you dig a little deeper into the data.
Here’s three notable trends that are shaping out as we get into the thick of 2026.
Revenue Continues to Trend Upward
Pennsylvania remains the iGaming king in the US in terms of revenue.
Following a year that finished with $3.46 billion in online casino revenue for 2025, Pennsylvania continued the strong showings in January with $316.2 million. That was the second-best revenue performance by the state in a given month.
It also marks the fourth consecutive month that Pennsylvania surpassed $300 million in monthly revenue.
The way things have been trending, it won’t be long before Pennsylvania is pushing for $350 million in a given month.
Penn National Leads Revenue Race With Depth
When it comes to individual operators, it’s hard to know just where each Pennsylvania online casino stands.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board released revenue data by licensee, not the operator.
In that regard, Penn National has been the consistent leader in the state. It is the only to surpass $100 million in revenue in a month and has done so in the last seven months of data.
Penn National partners with some big names in iGaming. That includes DraftKings, BetMGM, Fanatics, and Hollywood Casino.
Valley Forge is a clear second in Pennsylvania, currently pushing around $90 million in monthly revenue. Valley Forge is primarily powered by FanDuel, which has managed to establish itself as the iGaming revenue leader in other key states like Michigan and New Jersey.
Online Poker Leveling Off After MSIGA Membership
Pennsylvania made a big step in the middle of 2025 by joining the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA).
This opened the door for peer-to-peer poker against players in other states like Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
Joining in April, Pennsylvania saw immediate growth in poker revenue in the following months. May and June were well above average, totaling over $2.7 million each month.
However, things seemed to have slowed down since. Pennsylvania hasn’t been able to get back to that amount since. Here’s a look at each of the last nine months of the state’s online poker revenue.
- May: $2.75 million
- June: $2.71 million
- July: $2.52 million
- August: $2.50 million
- September: $2.31 million
- October: $2.51 million
- November: $2.27 million
- December: $2.28 million
- January: $2.50 million
January actually marked the third consecutive month that online poker revenue was down compared to a year prior.
