There has been a noticeable increase in sports betting activity, according to recent data from Delaware Lottery Games. The state reported $23.2 million in total wagering handle for September. With this remarkable amount, the fiscal year 2024–2025 is off to a great start. The total amount raised to $43.4 million. September also saw the largest wagering handle of the year, indicating that gamblers’ excitement is building.
The figures for September show remarkable growth, more than doubling Delaware’s handle of $10.3 million in August. The gross gaming revenue (GGR) also experienced a staggering increase of over 322% month-over-month, totaling $2.96 million. This revenue figure represents a substantial jump from the $950,000 collected during the same month last year. As a result, Delaware’s overall revenue for the year has reached $4.7 million, underscoring a robust market recovery.
BetRivers at Delaware Park maintained its leadership position in September, achieving a wagering handle of $12.9 million and generating $1.2 million in GGR. Following closely was Harrington, which reported a wagering handle of $3.9 million and a GGR of $383,207. These numbers indicate strong competition among operators in the state as they vie for market share.
With the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in June 2018, Delaware became the first state outside of Nevada to authorize retail sports betting. Other states are now able to investigate sports betting options thanks to this historic ruling. Local gamblers continue to find retail sports betting to be popular, as seen by the $4.2 million wagering handle generated in September 2024.
These positive numbers suggest that the sports betting market in Delaware has a bright future as it develops. The increase in revenue and handle shows that sports fans are becoming more engaged and that there is room for future growth.
