New Jersey online gambling revenue reached new heights last month. According to the Division of Gaming Enforcement, the state raked in over $450 million in the month of July, and of that nearly $120 million was from internet betting.

Those numbers are way up from the same time last year when New Jersey had made $1.29 billion by this time. The figures for this year mark an increase of just over 98%, with the year-to-date revenue for the state at $2.56 billion.

The new figures for online gaming shatter the prior record from March when revenue reached $113.7 million. But it was not all good news, as online poker revenue fell from $4.8 million in July of last year to just $3.1 million.

The Borgata led the New Jersey online gambling market with $36.5 million in revenue, just a bit ahead of the Golden Nugget Online who came in at $33.5 million, and Resorts Digital at $23.3 million.
