A lot of changes are ongoing in the online gambling market all over the world including the USA. America is an area where online gambling is rapidly growing at a jaw-dropping speed. Tracking and predicting the development of the market in the coming years in the USA is simply a matter of analysis and watching out for noticeable trends and patterns.
One noticeable development is the ever-growing number of players and casinos. You can find top US online gambling sites on Casinovibez that offer genuine casino services and mouth-watering bonuses. They all have licenses and a solid reputation for fair play.
The Online Gambling Market in the USA
US online gambling market is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world. As of 2018, the value of the US online gambling market was USD 47.57 Billion. According to a report from Industry Stats Report (taking into consideration the COVID-19 period), the value of the market will grow to USD 94.37 Billion by 2025. The US gambling industry is expected to record a CAGR of 10.28% over the stated period.
With so much growth expected from this rich industry, the question is how will it develop in the US in the nearest future. A look at nature, peculiarities, and predicted trends will reveal a rough pattern of development.
1. More Players Expected to Join The Market
The first and easiest development trait to predict is the addition of many new players and gambling companies in the US market. Anywhere there is a profit to make, you can expect people and companies to flock in. The online gambling market in the US is extensive enough for both players and companies to eat from. With the expected growth, expect more people joining in to get a piece of the cake.
2. Further Rise in Mobile Gambling
Already, mobile gaming is the fastest-growing segment of the gambling industry in the US. More people are turning to internet-based gambling especially mobile gaming due to the ease and convenience of play. Also, no payment restrictions contributed to its appeal.
About fifty players of the online gambling population in the US use their mobile phones or tablets instead of using desktops, laptops, or the more traditional forms of gambling. This number is expected to increase as more casinos and gaming manufacturers build casino games that are compatible with mobile devices.
3. US to dominate the online gambling market
The United States makes up the top five countries where gambling activities thrive. An astonishing 1.8 million people are employed in 40 states in the United States from the gambling industry. In the online gambling market, in a few years, the United States will dominate the landscape.
A lot of online innovations are opening up the ground for US dominance such as cryptocurrencies and virtual reality. Government attitude towards online gambling which has historically been a sour point is no longer so.
Many state governments and legislative houses are supporting the promotion of online gambling activities in their states. Harsh gambling laws across the US are now under review as their purpose, which was to stop illegal bookies is no longer relevant.
In America, the following states, New Jersey Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Delaware have set a standard for other states to follow by becoming the first states to legalize online gambling. Delaware and New Jersey have taken it a step further and now permit online casinos and poker sites.
In the nearest future, more states in the US will legalize online gambling including online casinos and poker sites. But for the moment, there are only four states (Nevada, Delaware, and New Jersey) where bookmakers can get a license to operate legally in the US.
4. New Jersey To Dominate the US Online Gambling Market
New Jersey boasts of having the largest market for online gambling in the US. As the online gambling market in the US grows, New Jersey will retain its top spot. Currently, the online gambling market in the state is worth over USD 225 million a year. This number will grow in the coming years with more players coming into the market.
5. Cryptocurrencies and Virtual Reality Technologies to Play Increased Roles
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized currencies that are growing in popularity in the online world. An impressive number of online casinos have integrated cryptocurrencies into their payment options. There are many online casinos globally that operate using only cryptocurrencies. In the coming years, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin will play more roles in the industry.
Virtual Reality Games are another technology to watch out for in the coming years in America.
Conclusion
The development of the online gambling market in the US is expected to record satisfactory growth rates in the nearest future. With no setbacks, the market can develop in the future to one of the largest in the world,

Suspected Digital Fraud Coming from Canada Up Nearly 11% Since H1 2023, Reveals New TransUnion Analysis
In the first half (H1) of 2024, Canada saw a significant increase in suspected Digital Fraud attempts, with nearly 5.74% of all attempted digital transactions where the consumer was located in Canada involving suspected Digital Fraud, revealed a new TransUnion® (NYSE: TRU) analysis. This is nearly an 11% year-over-year (YoY) rate increase from H1 2023, and TransUnion also documented an 11% increase in the volume of suspected Digital Fraud from Canada during this period, despite a less than a one percent (0.7%) YoY increase in the volume of transactions.
According to a recent TransUnion survey,1 more than half (54%) of Canadians said they were recently targeted by email, phone call or text message fraud attempts. Phishing was the most common scheme type (45%), followed by smishing (42%) and vishing (39%).
The increasing use of digital transactions, combined with rising suspected Digital Fraud attempts are also impacting businesses as they potentially face revenue losses and increased operational costs due to fraud. According to a TransUnion business survey for the H2 2024 Update to the State of Omnichannel Fraud report, 200 Canadian business leaders said their companies lost approximately 6% of equivalent revenue – representing $78 billion – over the past year due to fraud. The most prominent causes of fraud loss cited by them were:
- Scam/Authorized fraud (31%): Dishonest scheme intended to trick a person into giving up something of value (e.g., account access, money, information)
- Account takeover (19%): Unauthorized individuals taking over someone’s online account (e.g., bank, social media, email) without their permission
- Synthetic identity fraud (18%): Use of a combination of personal information to fabricate a person or entity to commit a dishonest act for financial or personal gain
TransUnion also found that suspected Digital Fraud attempts – where the consumer was transacting in Canada and targeted businesses globally – increased on average by 10.5% YoY in H1 2024 compared to H1 2023 and impacted all industries.
Top Three Industries Globally with Highest Rate of Suspected Digital Fraud Attempts Coming from Canada in H1 2024
- Gambling (online sports betting, poker, etc.) – 9.6%
- Retail – 9.2%
- Government – 7.7%
Top Three Industries Globally with Highest YoY Increase (H1 2024 vs H1 2023) in the Rate of Suspected Digital Fraud Attempts Coming from Canada
- Logistics – 172.9%
- Gambling – 79.3%
- Video gaming – 67.8%
“Protecting customers and their businesses from fraud is essential to enabling safe and tailored consumer experiences. These findings reveal that despite the good-faith efforts that are being undertaken by companies to identify and prevent fraud to date, fraudsters continue to evolve and it’s vital that fraud prevention methods keep up with the changing times,” said Patrick Boudreau, head of identity management and fraud solutions at TransUnion Canada.
“Businesses that aren’t already doing so should ensure that they are taking advantage of fraud prevention technologies such as identity verification, IP intelligence, device reputation and synthetic identity detection as critical components of their fraud prevention programs,” he added.
