Who runs Golden Nugget Casino?
DraftKings completed the purchase in May 2022. Reports say the Golden Nugget casinos stayed with Fertitta Entertainment. In New Jersey, the Golden Nugget license also carries FanDuel and BetRivers, so a brand on that license is not always a Golden Nugget product.
Where is Golden Nugget Casino licensed?
The official New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists name Golden Nugget Casino or its license holder, and reports link it to West Virginia. The table shows only what we could confirm. It is not a full list of states, because we could not open every regulator's current list, including Michigan's full list.
| State | Listed under or partner | How we know |
|---|---|---|
| New Jersey | Golden Nugget | Official list, checked November 5, 2026 |
| Pennsylvania | Golden Nugget Online Gaming | Official list dated April 7, 2026 |
| West Virginia | Reported, not confirmed | Trade reports only |
Listing here is not a recommendation. The official list is the one to trust if it differs.
How do you check Golden Nugget Casino in your state?
Look for the exact site on your regulator's own list, not in the site's footer or on a review page. Being licensed in one state says nothing about another. Start at your state page, or see the licensed operators page for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania lists.
