A Comprehensive Hub for Media, Policymakers and Industry Leaders

Providing Research, Resources and Real-time Updates

iDEA (iDevelopment and Economic Association), the leading trade association representing the U.S. online gaming industry, today launched the definitive online destination for all things online gambling: ideagrowth.org. The new website provides the media, and U.S. legislators and regulators, a comprehensive resource for data-driven research, policy insights and responsible gaming resources.

The new website provides the industry’s most vital statistics and research — from consumer protections to economic development — in an engaging, accessible format designed for maximum impact.

“iDEA’s website launch comes at a critical moment in iGaming,” said iDEA Founder and General Counsel Jeff Ifrah. “In 2025, more states than ever considered iGaming legislation, creating strong momentum heading into 2026. With state budget shortfalls looming as federal funds recede, legal online gaming represents an untapped source of stable tax revenue — while also displacing the unregulated, unsafe offshore markets that currently dominate the market.”

The new iDEA website’s key features include:

• Research Library: Independent studies and economic analysis of iGaming.
• State-by-State Tracker: U.S. maps showing where iGaming and online sports betting are legal.
• Responsible Gaming Tools: Information on the safeguards and technologies used to protect consumers, including self-exclusion programs, financial protections and problem gambling resources.
• News and Advocacy Updates: Industry news and policy developments to keep stakeholders informed about the rapidly evolving U.S. iGaming landscape.

“States that fail to act risk letting bad actors control the market and endanger players,” Ifrah added. “Through this site, iDEA will continue to share best practices from leading states like New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania, while helping lawmakers craft policies that balance economic growth with strong consumer protections.”

The new website also reflects iDEA’s advocacy efforts heading into the next legislative sessions — positioning the Association as the unified industry voice in states such as Maryland, New York, Indiana, Ohio, Wyoming, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts, where debates on iGaming are expected to intensify.
