FanDuel‘s strong May numbers in its first full month as the D.C. Lottery’s primary sports betting operator fueled a record-setting month as the rest of the district’s operator figures were released Monday.
Overall, the nation’s capital reported all-time highs of $5.4 million in sports betting revenue and $35.4 million in handle. It was the second consecutive month with a record handle after FanDuel made an immediate impact on April’s numbers when it replaced GambetDC as the district’s primary operator.
May’s operator revenue was over $1 million more than the previous high of $4.4 million set in November 2021.
The 15.4% hold ranked 14th in 49 months of wagering in Washington D.C. It’s currently the highest among 29 states and jurisdictions with commercial sports betting for May, with only Arizona, Illinois, and Kentucky yet to report.
