Rhode Island sports betting revenue almost tripled month-on-month to $2.5m (£1.9m/€2.3m) in September, with an increase in retail betting accompanied by the first contribution from mobile.
Total market revenue was up 195.4% from $851,778 in August, breaking the previous monthly record of $2.2m set in June of this year. Players wagered $22.2m, which represents a 120.6% increase on the previous months’ $10.1m.
