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.
