Pennsylvania closed out the year with its December sports betting report, which followed a now-familiar pattern across multiple states:
Handle: $798M (-11% YoY)
Revenue: $104M (+119%)
Hold: 13.0%
Taxes: $30.5M
Almost 20 states have published December data so far, and Pennsylvania’s report is a microcosm of the national picture. Handle was noticeably down year over year, but stellar results have operators tracking toward a top-five month of revenue.
