iGaming Gains Ground as US Sports Betting Growth Slows

America’s commercial gaming industry generated a record $78.7 billion in 2025, but 2026 is revealing a shift beneath the headline growth. Sports betting slowed sharply through much of the first half before receiving a World Cup-driven boost in July. Online casino revenue, meanwhile, has continued posting double-digit gains, strengthening the case that iGaming could become a more important source of future industry growth. The contrast was particularly clear in the second quarter.
