October Handle Growth

Of the total $79.4 million handle, mobile betting contributed $69.5 million, marking a 6% year-over-year increase, while retail betting generated $9.8 million, reflecting an 18% year-over-year decrease.

However, revenues saw a significant decline, dropping 33.2% compared to October 2023 and reaching $5.8 million, the lowest figure since June. Revenue also fell 36.6% month-over-month from September, reflecting a broader trend across states. October proved to be a challenging month for operators in terms of player wins.

It’s worth noting that DraftKings is the sole sports betting operator in New Hampshire, managing both the retail locations across three sites in the state and the online platform accessible to all New Hampshire residents.
