NORTH AMERICA FanDuel Storms NJ Online Sports Betting
New Jersey's online casinos posted yet another near-record month in June while the state's online and retail sportsbooks showed strength during a typically slow month
New Jersey's online casinos posted yet another near-record month in June while the state's online and retail sportsbooks showed strength during a typically slow month.
In all, June's nearly $275m handle was an impressive showing considering that the summer months are historically the slowest on the sports betting calendar.
"To approach $275m during a month where the only major sports betting event is the NBA Finals says something about the trajectory of New Jersey's market," said Dustin Gouker, lead sports betting analyst for
PlayNJ.com. "Basketball clearly drives interest, but it also shows that interest in sports betting in general continues to expand."
New Jersey's sportsbooks accepted $273.2m in bets in June, down 14 per cent from $318.9m in May, according to official reporting released in July. Te handle yielded $9.7m in revenue, down 37 per cent from $15.5m in May.
Illinois
Te city of Waukegan will soon name its chosen casino operator for one of six new casinos to be launched in Illinois as part of a widespread gaming expansion.
Te city has now officially invited qualified Project Teams to submit proposals for the development of a casino and associated amenities in accordance with the Illinois Gaming Act. Te Act was recently amended to allow for a license to be issued to a Riverboat Casino within the corporate limits of the City of Waukegan.
Te city plans to submit between two and four developer blueprints to the Illinois Gaming Board. Whilst the Chicago casino will be allowed 4,000 gaming positions, all the others will be allowed 2,000. New casinos will also be allowed in Chicago, Rockford, the South Suburbs, Williamson County (Walker's Bluff), and Danville.

SIS secures exclusive PARX horse racing deal racecourse in Buenos Aires.
SIS has reached an agreement with US racecourse PARX to become the exclusive distributor of live pictures and data from the racecourse.
As part of this new multi-year deal, SIS will broadcast at least 1,530 races a year from one of the leading US racecourses.
Te races will be made available to SIS’s operator partners as part of its international retail channels, as well as its 24/7 Live Horse Racing Channel and 24/7 Live Horse & Greyhound Channel, which provide a betting event every three minutes.
Tis latest partnership further enhances SIS’s market leading portfolio of international racing, having recently secured similar agreements to broadcast live pictures from Singapore’s premier racecourse in Kranji, as well as the Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo
Simon Fraser, Head of International Horse Racing at SIS, said: “Securing the exclusive rights to deliver live pictures and data from one of the US’s leading racecourses is a major boost to our international offering.
“Tese additional races further enhance our 24/7 racing service, providing even more quality betting opportunities throughout the day, regardless of time zone, with content that will appeal to bettors, and help drive betting turnover for operators.”
John Dixon, Chief Operating Officer at PARX, said: “We are pleased to have agreed a partnership with SIS as they have an established reputation for distributing live racing to operators all around the world and it made strategic sense for us to partner with them.”
June's handle was up dramatically from $15.3m in June 2018, and revenue has nearly tripled from $3.5m in June 2018. Since launch, New Jersey sportsbooks have generated a handle of $3.2bn and a win of $203.8m. And New Jersey's handle could surpass Nevada for the second consecutive month.
"Te rate of growth will eventually level out, but I do not believe that time is at hand," Mr. Gouker said. "Te fact that New Jersey is now on par with Nevada, a market that has matured over generations, is remarkable. Competition from the launch of Pennsylvania's sports betting apps could slow momentum, though."
Online sports betting generated 83 per cent, $226.7m, of June's handle, up from 82.6 per cent in May. FanDuel Sportsbook/PointsBet generated $2.7m in online gross revenue, or 28 per cent of the state's handle, edging Resorts/DraftKings. FanDuel Sportsbook at Te Meadowlands lead the retail market with $1.7m in June gross revenue.
