The August revenues of New Jersey, that has recently legalized sports wagering in the state, shows that online betting is a promising and a lucrative market in the United States.

Online sports bet accounted for just over a third of New Jersey’s total sports betting revenue in August and the revenues of three brands including DraftKings, playMGM and SugarHouse showed that online bettors are anxious to invest in sports wagering.

“Online sports wagering appears more substantial an opportunity. Forecasts suggest it,” CEO of GAN plc, Dermot Smurfit, a gambling technology provider quoted.

“The trends are completely different than those of 2013. This time the forecasts suggest optimistic growth. Online sports wagering revenues will equal or eclipse retail sports betting revenues in September.”
