Pennsylvania-based Parx Casino has launched online sports betting and casino in New Jersey, in partnership with GAN.

Parx, which is owned by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, has already been offering online gambling in its home state of Pennsylvania for some time now, having launch online sports betting on 24^th June and casino on 15^th July (read more).

New Jersey services soft-launched on 4^th October, but have now gone fully live.

Commenting on the launch CEO at GAN, Dermot Smurfit, said:

“Launching the largest casino in Pennsylvania online has now logically extended across the border into New Jersey, extending its reach into New Jersey’s fast-growing and established internet gambling market.

“This represents an incremental revenue opportunity for GAN and is a logical extension of our technology infrastructure to serve Parx Casino patrons who routinely cross the invisible border between these two populous states.”

During the third quarter GAN saw gross operator revenue rocket 203% year-on-year to $80.9 million, attributing the impressive performance to sports bettors in New Jersey using casino services before, during and after sports games, and Pennsylvania gambles taking to online quicker than expected.

In the immediate wake of the PASPA repeal back in May 2018, things seemed to get off to quite a slow start for legal US gambling – especially online gaming, with some states legalising that separately (and some not at all). However, the major trailblazing states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania seem to be proving any doubters wrong, as Americans take to online gambling, including casino, like ducks to water!
