$6.19B US iGaming Market Size isn’t Growing, it’s Annexing America

While octogenarian Congress naps, US igaming market size just dropped a $6.19 billion Q1 2025 bomb: 32.8% of all gambling revenue and your fintech stack’s still stuck in dial-up. Let’s autopsy this digital gold rush before your competitors scalp you in your sleep.

‍

US igaming market size exploded to $6.19B in Q1 2025. Here’s how prediction apps and mobile addiction rewrote the rules:‍

‍

• $6.19 billion in Q1 revenue, 32.8% of total gambling pie, while land-based casinos crawled at 1.4% growth. All-in-all, US iGaming grew 27.3% YoY. That’s not disruption; it’s a hostile takeover.
• Mobile dominates 74.1% of action. Desktop? Dead. Your phone’s the new casino floor, vibrating with Kalshi prediction markets and Crypto.com’s Super Bowl crypto bets.
• Delaware’s traffic spiked 18.8%, thanks to Rush Street’s tech magic, while New Jersey’s iGaming finally murdered Atlantic City’s land-based revenue. RIP physical chips. Sweepstakes casinos got served cease-and-desists in PA/MD. Regulators finally woke up to Chumba’s «free coins» loophole. Sorry, gamblers, your gift card hustles just got raided.

The Real Story Behind the Neon Glow

‍
This isn’t about slots. In 2025 it’s the prediction platforms eating sports betting’s lunch while Gen Z demands blockchain transparency. FanDuel/DraftKings own 80% of sports betting? Irrelevant. Kalshi’s betting on who wins the Oscar for Best Director and it’s legal in all 50 states.

Your Move Before Q2 Legislation Drops

‍
Illinois’ HB 3080 and Ohio’s SB 1963 are desperately trying to legalize online casinos. If your payment rails can’t handle Delaware’s 18.8% traffic surge and Illinois’ future tax quirks, you’re not in iGaming, you’re a ghost lost in an opera.

Stop watching the roulette wheel spin and wondering «how on earth do I even start making sense of the US igaming». At THE REACH we turn regulatory chaos into cash flow before the next state legalizes and your stack goes cold.
