Golden Nugget online casino: New Jersey and Pennsylvania

Two lists, two holders

The two states do not name the same legal entity. They name two companies that share a brand, and the lists themselves do not state any corporate tie between them. We group them on one page because both carry the Golden Nugget name.

The license box above this text shows the same rows with the list dates.

New Jersey: the Division's permit list

The Division of Gaming Enforcement's PDF, "Internet Gaming Permit Holders," says "Last Update: September 22, 2026." It has two columns, permit number and name, and Golden Nugget Atlantic City, LLC sits in the row numbered NJIGP 26-002. The list shows no website for any holder, so the New Jersey entry does not say which domain or app runs under this permit. The Division's older web addresses display a notice that the page has been replaced, so for New Jersey we rely on the PDF alone.

Pennsylvania: the Board's certificate list

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board publishes a document of "Licensed Interactive Gaming Certificateholders and Authorized Interactive Gaming websites." The file name carries the date 4.30.26, and the Board's page links it as the current list; the document itself shows no date line, so April 30, 2026 is read from the file name. Its introduction explains that the list covers Category 1, 2 and 3 slot machine licensees and qualified gaming entities that were awarded an interactive gaming certificate, plus the interactive gaming operators licensed to run games on a certificateholder's behalf.

For this holder the document shows:

• Operator: "No interactive gaming operator" is listed, so the certificateholder is not shown as using an outside operator.
• Types of interactive gaming authorized: slots and table games.
• Authorized website: goldennuggetcasino.com, reached through goldennuggetcasino.com, and a Golden Nugget Casino mobile app.
• Start of operations shown on the list: August 10, 2023.

What a Pennsylvania certificate is

The Board's August 15, 2018 press release, about the first three certificates, describes what a certificate authorizes: non peer to peer games that simulate slot machines, non peer to peer games that simulate table games, and peer to peer games that simulate poker. Each of those first three certificates carried a $10 million license fee. The release names Chester Downs and Marina, Greenwood Gaming and Mount Airy #1 as recipients; Golden Nugget is not among them, and we found no Board document giving this holder's approval date. The current list shows slots and table games for this holder, not poker.

How to check both entries

1. Open the New Jersey PDF from the sources box and read the "Last Update" line.
2. Look for NJIGP 26-002 and the name Golden Nugget Atlantic City, LLC.
3. Open the Pennsylvania document and scroll to the row that begins with Golden Nugget Online Gaming, LLC.
4. Compare the website on the list with the address in your browser; a site that is not on the list is not shown as authorized.

The steps take a few minutes, and a newer list may have replaced the one we read. The guide to checking an online casino's license walks through the same method for every state we cover.

What the lists do not show

We did not read the operator's own terms, and we do not state where its servers, game suppliers or ownership sit, because neither state list says. The player and comparison summaries below are what other people wrote, not findings about the license.
