New Jersey sports betting operators bounced back after a rough June to generate a 12.2% hold that produced $80 million in revenue for July.
The New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement reported a 31.2% year-over-year revenue increase by casinos, racetracks, and online partners. The Garden State joined New York as the only two sports betting markets to surpass $4 billion in revenue all-time.
Revenue was also up 33.3% month-over-month. Year-to-date sports betting profits surpassed $653 million, a 30.1% jump compared to the first seven months of 2023 when Garden State operators hauled in $501.8 million.
Sportsbooks weren’t hurt by a July handle of $652.3 million that dropped 12.8% from June, thanks to the fourth-highest win rate since New Jersey online sports betting began after PASPA was overturned in 2018.
The Garden State filled its coffers with $10.3 million, up from the $7.8 million in June and pushing the year-to-date total past $84 million.
“Other” sports come up big
Baseball made up $13 million of the New Jersey sports betting revenue on a handle of more than $197 million. Basketball saw an expected drop off with only the Olympics and half of a WNBA schedule to produce $56.2 million of wagers and $3 million of profit.
The “other” sports combined to produce $18 million of revenue on a handle of over $211 million. Parlays continued to be a great source of revenue as the multi-leg bets produced a 22% hold, running up the year-to-date win rate to 19.5%.
