JERSEY IS BY FAR THE USA LEADER IN SPORTS BETTING
By Skip Charles in Vegas
New Jersey hit an impressive milestone in August, even if all those futures bets win.
The state crossed the $2 billion threshold for sports betting revenue since June 2018, the first full month after the fall of PASPA.
The next closest three states are Nevada ($1.44 billion), Pennsylvania ($1.21 billion) and Illinois ($987.5 million), but it might not be any of them hitting that $2 billion mark next.
| State | 2022 Average Monthly Revenue | Approximate Months to $2 Billion |
|---|---|---|
| New York | $97.7 million (through August) | 12 months |
| Illinois | $53 million (through June) | 19 months |
| Pennsylvania | $39.9 million (through August) | 20 months |
| Nevada | $30 million (through July) | 19 months |
