The Illinois Gaming Board has reported a continued drop in sports betting handle for the third consecutive month in June, while revenue grew.
Handle came to $476.5m in June, a month-on-month decline of 6.0% compared to May. Almost all of this- $474.5m- was generated from professional sports, with both college football and basketball in their offseasons.
On the other hand, adjusted gaming revenue (AGR) was recorded at $47.5m, up 31.1% month-on-month from $36.2m.
