Despite the increasing struggles, Nevada has retained its position as the most dominant US iGaming market, retaining its lead as the national per-capita betting state when it comes to online gambling.
More specifically, the latest study conducted by the leading French operator Gamdom Casino, shows that the average bettor in Nevada is more likely to wager three times more than the average American.
According to the predictions made by Gamdom Casino, in 2024 alone, the average casino enthusiast from Nevada has placed $1,815 in sports wagers, a figure that is roughly three times higher than the average US citizen.
Although Nevada has recently struggled to establish its position as the dominant US market, where other US states easily surpassed the state in terms of revenue, the state is still ahead in terms of per-capita betting.
Just for context, Gamdom has revealed that the average bettor from New York and New Jersey would bet around $1,087 and $1,398, which is considerably smaller when compared to the average of $1,815 of players from Nevada.
Despite the bigger average, Nevada still remains fifth when it comes to gambling and sports betting revenue, lagging behind states such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois, while in terms of handle, the state of Nevada is still ahead of Pennsylvania and Illinois.
The complete list of per-capita betting is led by Nevada, followed closely by the states of New Jersey and New York:
- Nevada
- New York
- New Jersey
- Massachusetts
- Arizona
- Maryland
- Illinois
- Colorado
- Kansas
- Iowa
What is particularly surprising is the fact that Nevada requires in-person registrations when it comes to online betting, and even more baffling is the fact that two of the biggest online operators in the US, DraftKings and FanDuel are not available in the state.
Felix Romer, the Founder of Gamdom, commented on the matter and said that the data from the recent report is curious to say the least, calling the figures “quite astounding”, especially if we take into account the discrepancies between revenue and per-capita rankings.
