Gambling in the US is regulated state by state, not federally. Sports betting is legal in many states, online casino in far fewer. That is why operator offices, studios and teams are tied to specific states.

Several types of companies hire here. Online operators such as FanDuel and DraftKings. Casino groups with physical resorts and digital products, such as Caesars Entertainment. Slot and content makers like Aristocrat and Light & Wonder. And live casino studios such as Evolution.

The state decides which products are allowed and what is required of staff, so the same role can look different from one office to another. Check which state a listing is tied to.

Operations has the most openings: shift supervisors, live casino studio staff, coordinators and player service specialists. This is on-site shift work, and many of these jobs do not require gambling experience.

Technology and data form the second block: software engineers, data scientists, data architects and product managers. Slot manufacturers add roles rare elsewhere in iGaming: mechanical engineers, manufacturing, sound designers and hardware project managers.

Marketing and affiliate roles are visible too. US operators push hard to acquire players in every newly regulated state, so they hire CRM, partnerships and campaign analytics specialists.

Without industry experience, the easiest start is studio shifts or player support. Land-based casino, retail or call centre experience counts, and large operators let people move into risk, trading or compliance later.

In many states, employees of operators and suppliers need a licence or registration with the state gaming regulator. Expect a background check and fingerprinting. The employer usually starts the process after the offer.

If your role covers several states, you may need several licences. Ask the recruiter which checks apply to your position so you can prepare documents early.

The US listings on this page are office-based or hybrid. Major hubs include New York, Boston, Las Vegas and New Jersey. Fully remote roles sit in a separate remote jobs section.

Employers will require US work authorisation. Visa sponsorship appears mostly in engineering and data, and not at every company. If you need a visa, raise it in the first conversation.

Several states require employers to publish a pay range, so US listings show salaries more often than European ones. Remember that this is base pay: bonuses, equity and benefits come on top.

Compare the whole package: health insurance, retirement plan, paid time off. Benchmark your role with the salary calculator and profession guides, and check company pages to see where hiring is active.

A US resume leaves out photo, age and marital status. Lead with results rather than duties, and mirror the wording of the listing: many companies screen applications through an applicant tracking system first.
