According to PlayAZ, the state has become the quickest to hit $1bn in handle after launch.
Arizona online and retail sportsbooks produced $466.7m in wagers for November, down 4% from October. Analysts considered it to be a modest drop, since October offered five full weekends of NFL and college football games.
During November, betting volume averaged $15.6m in wagers per day, marginally down from $15.7m in betting per day for October.
Gross gaming revenue (GGR) for November was up 27% compared to the previous month. After $18.4m in promotional credits, the state taxed $31.9m in gross event wagering receipts, which produced $3.2m in privilege fees for the state.
For the year, the state’s sportsbooks collected $1.2bn in wagering, making Arizona the quickest to $1bn in US history.
Gross revenue for 2021 was $121.2m, which was the most of any state over its first three months. Arizona’s sportsbooks also produced $4.2m in privilege fees for the state.
