Top 10 online casinos in the USA by brand awareness

The first metric to consider is BAP. It shows whose name a US player already knows and looks for. Think of it as market weight.

BAP (Brand’s Accumulated Power) is a percentage-based metric that measures a brand’s share of total iGaming search interest in a specific market during a specific period. It is built on the Blask Index and expresses how much of that total market interest a single brand captures. It’s not a financial metric or SEO traffic measurement – it’s a relative indicator of market power, revealing where the potential lies for acquisition and revenue.

BovadaOffshore15.31%
DraftKingsMixed8.68%

FanDuelMixed7.18%
MyBookieOffshore5.12%
BetUSOffshore3.53%
BetplayOffshore3.14%
Ignition CasinoOffshore2.62%
RainbetOffshore2.47%
Hard RockMixed1.76%

Key notes:

  • # 1 American online casino holds 15.31%, which is close to double the share of #2 (8.68%).
  • Bovada, DraftKings, and BetOnline together hold 32.21% of all brand interest.
  • Offshore brands carry more weight. Seven of the top 10 online casinos in the USA hold licenses issued outside the US.
  • A big part of this audience arrives through Betting. Nine of the ten brands pair a sportsbook with a casino.
  • The top 10 together account for about 58% of the total Blask Index across all US real-money brands.

Affiliate insights: Bovada, DraftKings, and BetOnline fit scale. Well-known brands win cold traffic faster because people already trust them. Clicks turn into sign-ups with less effort. But the cost is high because many affiliates drive traffic to the same names, and if the competition grows, bids grow as well. Smaller brands may offer better terms, so don’t focus solely on the top 3.

10 best online casino brands in the USA by player acquisition

People may Google an American online casino but not register, so don’t rely on BAP alone. APS shows how many new players a brand can actually sign up.

APS (Acquisition Power Score) is an AI-generated benchmark that estimates how many new players a casino brand may attract in a specific market and period, based on its market strength. While BAP measures attention, APS measures the conversion of that attention into actual customers. It’s not an FTD/registration tally or a re-hash of yesterday’s conversions; APS is a target baseline, the acquisition volume a brand should be achieving given its market position.

Blask

Remember that it’s a benchmark, not a total count of real registrations or FTDs. Still, it can help you assess the brand’s strength and find the best online casino in the US for RevShare deals.

BetUSOffshore17,229
BetplayOffshore15,322
Ignition CasinoOffshore12,895

Key notes:

  • The ranking is the same as for BAP. Well-known online casinos in the USA sign up the most new customers.
  • There is a clear gap between the top 4 casinos and the rest. Top-tier brands convert better.

Affiliate insights: If you buy large volumes of USA traffic, lean on high-APS brands because they can take it. Brands lower in the table suit smaller, focused tests.

10 Best online casino US brands by revenue

Revenue indicates which brands have the largest financial backing. They have money to fund promos and iGaming affiliate programs, and you have some guarantee that they won’t stop operating tomorrow.

CEB (Competitive Earning Baseline) represents the baseline revenue a brand is realistically expected to generate in a specific market, taking into account its brand power (BAP), acquisition capacity (APS), competitor benchmarks, and market-level factors, including regulatory environment and retention patterns. It’s not a guess or an audited financial figure; CEB is a revenue benchmark built on comprehensive data analysis.

Blask

BrandLicenceCEB, USD (avg/month)
FanDuelMixed$659.76M
DraftKingsMixed$602.75M
BovadaOffshore$592.10M
BetOnlineOffshore$374.11M
MyBookieOffshore$225.07M
RainbetOffshore$183.52M
BetplayOffshore$147.09M
BetUSOffshore$144.04M
Hard RockMixed$139.47M
Ignition CasinoOffshore$133.90M

Key notes:

  • The top changes a lot. FanDuel leads on CEB, even though it’s only 4th on BAP and APS.
  • FanDuel and DraftKings beat Bovada. They win fewer new customers, but more revenue stands behind each one.
  • The top three all sit above $590M. After them, there is a steep drop to $374M.

Affiliate insights: A large revenue base is a good sign that a brand can support partners and pay on time. FanDuel, DraftKings, and Bovada are the safest brands to scale, but remember that CEB is a benchmark, and it doesn’t show real casino revenue or what you will earn.

Top betting + casino brands in the USA

Nearly 40 states allow Sports Betting, but only eight allow regulated online casinos. So if you’re looking for a Gambling offer in the US, it may be wise to consider a sportsbook brand. Plus, many US players bet on sports and play casino games on the same site. 

According to the Blask data, 9 out of 10 best online casinos in the USA offer betting as well:

BrandVerticalLicenceBAP, % (avg)APS, customers (avg)CEB, USD (avg/month)MoM, % (avg)

BetMGMSportsbookMixed1.42%*6,785*$191.67M*-10.25%*
Ignition Casino suits casino-only offers, so it left out of this range. Bet365 and BetMGM figures are for one month, their two-month average BAP would be lower than Hard Rock’s.

Key notes:

  • Only Betplay and BetUS grew in both months. They’re a good choice for consistent performance.
  • FanDuel has the best mix of revenue and growth. It leads on CEB ($659.76M) and on average MoM (+29.13%).
  • Sportsbook-only brands lose to the casino + betting combination. Bet365 made the top 10 only in September, and BetMGM only in October. However, BetMGM has high CEB, so it’s worth considering for Betting offers.

Funzpoints5.28M2.81%2.40%-9.60%-15.1%

Key notes:

  • The top 10 hold about 61.7% of the 12-month total for all US sweepstakes brands (187.63M).
  • The market is flat. The total was 15.30M in November 2025 and 15.34M in October 2026. Shares are moving between leaders, so Crown Coins gained what Chumba, Zula, Stake, Sportzino, and LuckyLand lost.
  • Chumba leads the 12-month total, but it is slipping. It peaked at 2.76M in December 2025 and ended October at 1.97M.
  • Crown Coins is the new leader. From November to May, its monthly Blask Index stayed between 0.43M and 0.50M. In June, it jumped to 2.36M, and has stayed ahead since.
  • Modo, Pulsz, and McLuck are steady. Their metrics stayed within the same range each month, so these are the most reliable choices for initial tests.
