NH reports further handle decline in May
| By Robert Fletcher
Sports wagering revenue in New Hampshire increased both month-on-month and year-on-year in May despite another drop in handle.
Player spending for the month amounted to $52.1m, a 31.6% decline from $76.2m in the same month last year and also 20.0% lower than $65.1m in April this year.
Of this total, $46.4m was spent betting on sports online, while the remaining $5.7m was wagered at retail sportsbooks in the state.
However, despite a decline in handle, gross gaming revenue from sports betting during the month increased.
