The overall picture of New Jersey online poker is stagnant, while other internet gambling is showing significant growth since the industry launched in November 2013. Last year delivered another growth spurt of nearly 25% and put the total gross gaming revenue over the $770 million mark at the end of 2017.

The dissected picture, however, shows that the revenue increases have been coming primarily from the online casino games sector, as online poker has been on a relatively consistent downswing for more than a year.

Whether the market is saturated or operators are simply uninterested in pursuing a larger poker contingent, many players’ hopes for a new and thriving web based poker industry in the United States have fizzled further with every new monthly revenue report.

One pair of analysts, however, predicts a surge in 2018. In fact, they anticipate an online casino growth slowdown with a higher percentage of growth for online poker.
