Online casinos in Michigan have been firing on all cylinders on their way to a fourth straight month of record revenue in January 2025. According to a report from the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), iGaming gross receipts for January 2025 totaled $248.2 million, the highest to date. Previously, the highest revenue accumulated from Michigan real money online casino operators was $244.0 million recorded in December 2024.
The total figure, comprising iGaming receipts of $248.2 million and sports betting revenue of $83 million, was up 25.4% over December’s total.
Michigan Passes New Jersey Online Casino Standings
Currently, as far as iGaming markets and the best online casinos for US players in North America are concerned, the “Big Three” iGaming states are still Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey. With Michigan’s online casinos performing extremely well over the past four months, the Great Lake State was the only market to display a month-over-month increase.
Moreover, with the recent January revenue, Michigan has expanded its lead over New Jersey, which generated $221.6 million in January earnings. However, the Great Lake State is still trailing Pennsylvania, which recorded $268.0 million revenue for January.
Michigan Online Casinos’ Numbers
Historically, the fourth quarter of any iGaming state is usually when those markets produce their best results of the year. However, Michigan has been surging and breaking revenue records, especially for the past four months:
October 2024: $220.7 million
November 2024: $226 million
December 2024: $244 million
January 2025: $248.2 million
Due to January’s impressive numbers, online casino operators in Michigan experienced a 1.7% month-over-month increase. Conversely, Pennsylvania and New Jersey did not improve from December, with Pennsylvania: only achieving 4.7% month-over-month decrease, while New Jersey had an even lower 2.8% month-over-month decrease.
That said, even though Michigan is riding on a wave of momentum with its 4-month performance, it still has a long way before it catches up to Pennsylvania.
