Tennessee’s Sports Wagering Council reported $472 million in sports betting handle for March, the third-highest total in Volunteer State history.
Handle was up 20.2% from March 2023, and the state’s top-five monthly handles have all come in the past six months. College basketball took center stage as the Volunteer State had six teams represented in the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments. Tennessee reached the regional final on the men’s side, while the Lady Vols and Middle Tennessee advanced to the round of 32 in the women’s bracket.
The $1.32 billion handle for the first three months of 2024 — exclusively from the state’s 11 sports betting apps as Tennessee is an all-digital state — is up 16.4% compared to the same period last year.
