March Another Strong Month in Iowa
With 18 of the 19 originally licensed mobile sportsbooks operating in Iowa (Unibet Iowa ceased operations Dec. 20), it’s fair to say the state’s market is homing in on maturity.
That’s especially true for the state’s leading operators, such as DraftKings Sportsbook Iowa, which led the way in handle at $79,690,415.
The rest of the Iowa sports betting leaderboard in February included FanDuel Sportsbook Iowa, which was second in handle at $53,708,718, followed by Caesars Sportsbook Iowa ($35,611,281), BetMGM Sportsbook Iowa ($14,581,259) and Barstool Sportsbook Iowa ($6,498,868).
Through three months of the year, Iowa sportsbooks have raked in $660,113,400 in handle (averaging out to $220,037,800 per month) and $48,271,727 in gaming revenues (averaging $16,090,575 per month).
On a national scale, the Hawkeye State stands behind New York ($1.79 billion) and Maryland ($386 million), and ahead of West Virginia ($43.1 million) and Montana ($5.8 million) among states that have reported March figures.
Through three months of 2023, Iowa sportsbooks have posted handles that are 12.3% lower than the first quarter of 2022.
But the first quarter of 2023 saw a big improvement in gaming revenues, year-over-year, improving 29.6% from $37,259,703 in 2022 to $48,271,727 this year.
