Arizona Sports Wagering Operators Claim M In September

The Arizona Department of Gaming reported a record $55.2 million in gross revenue for sports wagering in September, completing a historic nationwide rout by operators in which 24 of 27 states recorded holds of 10% or higher.

Arizona’s gross revenue narrowly eclipsed the previous state record set in May by a margin of $15,551. The handle of $538 million was the the third-highest in 13 months of wagering, and Arizona cleared $4 billion worth of wagers for the 2022 calendar year.

The start of the NFL season prompted operators to be aggressive with promotional offers, as total deductions amounted to $24.5 million — the highest total of the year and most since the $26 million last October in the state’s second month of operations.
