Pennsylvania Sportsbooks fall in April following record March
Pennsylvania's retail sportsbooks posted a solid April, but it is what lies ahead that is most important for the state's fledgling sports betting industry.
In what should be the final month before online sports betting launches, Pennsylvania's retail sportsbooks attracted $36.8m in April bets. Tat is down 17 per cent from the record $44.5m in March, according to official reporting released on Tursday. Te vast majority of action came from baseball's first full month, the Final Four, and the beginning of the NBA and NHL playoffs. In legal jurisdictions such as Nevada, April is typically a slower sports betting month than March.
April bets generated $4.2m in revenue, down from $5.5m in March and $1.9m in February, and injected $1.5m into state government coffers, down from $1.99m in March.
"Te launch of online sports betting will give the first real window into the overall strength of the industry," said Jessica Welman, sports betting analyst for
PlayPennsylvania.com.
"Online sports betting will ultimately transform the market and put it more in line with Nevada and New Jersey, the country's two largest sports betting markets."
Te launch of the first Pennsylvania online sports betting app is expected within days or weeks, and more online sportsbooks will soon follow suit. Online betting has proven to be critically important in New Jersey, where more than 80 percent of sports bets are made.
Assuming Pennsylvania bettors show a similar fervour for online betting as their neighbours in New Jersey, the impact will be a game- changer.
