PA sportsbooks take fewer bets, profit more

Pennsylvanians wagered less on sports in March than a year ago and fared less well while doing so, as sportsbook operators collected $47.9 million in revenue last month from $730.9 million wagered, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported. The statewide hold percentage, which includes an adjustment for $19.8 million in promotional credits, amounted to 6.6%. The revenue figure was 77.1% higher than the $27 million taken from bettors by the operators in March 2025, even though handle was down considerably from last year’s $842.9 million. Compared to the shorter month of February, revenue increased 26.7% from $37.8 million and handle increased 23.4% from $592.5 million. Among online operators, FanDuel retained the top position in March with $18.6 million in revenue from $241.8 million in handle, with DraftKings not far behind at $14.4 million in revenue and handle of $210.3 million. Among the rest of the top five operators, there was considerable drop-off from there to Fanatics Sportsbook’s $2.59 million retained from $63.9 million in bets; bet365’s $2.23 million from $44.4 million wagered; and BetMGM’s $1.97 million from $51.9 million in bets.

NFL fans eager for pre-Thanksgiving game

The poll found that 40% of all surveyed and 78% of those who described themselves as “avid” sports fans would tune in. The poll also reported that 52% of NFL fans planned to tune in to watch the NFL Draft, which started Thursday. The poll of 1,601 American adults was conducted April 2-9.

Prop bets to continue in Colorado

A legislative proposal to ban sports prop betting in Colorado was removed from a broader bill advanced by its Senate Appropriations Committee to the full Senate Tuesday. The potential loss of tax revenue was cited as a primary factor in stripping that provision from Senate Bill 131 before committee passage. The legislation does contain other steps that would rein in other aspects of the industry, such as banning use of credit cards to fund accounts, establishing limits on advertising, and capping the number of deposits that can be made to accounts in a single day. The measure would require full approval in both the Senate and House before the legislative session ends next month.
