ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- More gaming revenue means more tax dollars for New Jersey, and online gaming in New Jersey is booming, according to statistics just released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. In March 2015, online casinos and online poker sites brought in a record $13.16 million combined revenue last month, the highest monthly total in the history of the industry.
New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement reports online casino operators have contributed $3.25 million to the state's responsible gambling funds. To date, online gaming has generated more than $25 million total in taxes for the Garden State.
