Arizona’s gaming revenue figure of $28,961,017 and tax sum of $2,886,501 both fell off from the December Arizona revenue report of $37.3 million and $3.7 million respectively.

Jaclyn Johnson, who serves as the director of the ADG, said in a department press release that January’s sports betting handle represents a strong start to the second full year of wagering in the state.

“We saw another substantial month of sports betting in Arizona to kick off 2023, with nearly $600 million wagered during January,” Johnson said in the release. “I look forward to monitoring how wagering progresses throughout the rest of the year.”

Where Arizona’s January Handle Ranks Nationally

Arizona’s haul for sports betting handle in January ranked seventh nationally, sandwiched between Pennsylvania ($772,289,648) and Colorado ($547,189,025).

Nationally, New York was the class of the country in the opening month of the year, with $1,799,048,366 in handle, while Ohio ($1,113,251,403) went over $1 billion in handle in its first month of legalized wagering.

New Jersey ($1,082,233,033), Illinois ($1,070,033,292) and Nevada ($935,792,553) were the next three states overall.

With handle figures for Super Bowl LVII, which took place in Arizona, and March Madness still to be reported, it appears Arizona sportsbooks are in good shape to rewrite the record books in 2023.
