Legal, regulated sports betting and igaming haven’t made “much of a dent” in illegal wagering revenue, the founder of Campaign for Fairer Gambling says.

Following a Campaign for Fairer Gambling commission for Yield Sec to report on New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota, the online marketplace intelligence platform found that those three U.S. states produced $9.5 billion in illegal gross gaming revenue. Nearly a quarter of the $40.92 billion generated nationwide by hundreds of illegal online wagering companies came from those three markets alone.

“The dominance of illegal online gambling operators remains unchallenged despite the expansion of legal gambling,” CFG founder Derek Webb said. “Sector-friendly legislation, regulation, and tax rates have not made much of a dent. Despite wildly different legal regimes, these three states continue to accommodate over 800 illegal operators who operate with zero regard for state law.”
